[DM-MUG] iMovie

[D Reger]

Wow Matthew, as usual, great info for the list. I check it out, and this 
guy has some great tutorials and info to share. There are other great 
Youtube tutorials on film making/video techniques that are general in 
nature and very helpful. It's addictive.

My best advice - a compelling story or information, or entertaining 
content. When I made my little movie for the rockhounds (Des Moines 
Lapidary Society) it was well received in spite of imperfections, 
because it was what my audience wanted to see. (And they are nice folks 
who appreciate any effort to share or entertain.)

And, digital is great because the film costs are low! So shoot lots and 
use the best of what you get. Have fun!
