ABSTRACT
Know this: Filmmaking is not magic or rocket science. All the crafts and practices of
fi lmmaking can be learned. Pretty much anyone can be a fi lmmaker (or even a rocket
scientist for that matter). All you’ve gotta do is study and learn what the task involves, then methodically do it, step-by-step, and at the end of the day you will have a fi lm
(or a rocket). Whether or not your fi rst efforts take off is another story, but you will
be well on your way to success if you study, practice, and-above all else-persist.
