Thank you for the post. I spend most of my days shooting interviews. Do you have any
reccomendations on ways to get sound bites? Most of my stuff involves homeless clients and people that I do not have a lot of time to build rapport with. Would appreciate any tips on that end of things. I saw the post below so

I am totally with you. I shoot bot stills and video for 17-18 years, and I see what you describe in the video work of nwebies. They think that just swicthing mode makes them story tellers, which is of course not the case by far.

Great advise. I think #11 should be:

Ignoring the need to consider offering their clients motion. Even if they team up with a photographer/filmmaker that excels at it.
