    I think it’s odd that many filmmakers don’t practice. Guitar players practice all the time, but filmmakers often seem to think that every shoot has to be “for real”. I like that you’re advocating practicing one’s craft.

    As an autistic aspiring videographer, I'm very grateful for this guide. I know filmmaking is a collaborative activity, but--as a result of my ASD--I often learn better on my own than in groups of people.

      I totally feel you, and although i believe that uniting around a specific craft helps with interactions, growing on your own is sooo important, i hope you find ways to achieve your goals and use your uniqueness as a strengh.
