Yes, I'm the Tom Schroeppel who wrote The Bare Bones Camera Course for Film and
Video and Video Goals: Getting Results
With Pictures and Sound. These practical, easy-to-understand
books are based on my own experience as a working professional. They're
used as basic texts by hundreds of schools like the University of Southern
California, UCLA, Vassar College, Boston University, University of
Colorado, University of Utah and others. So far, I've sold more than
130,000 copies. (If you're interested in the history behind my books, filmmaker
and teacher Paul Harrill did an interview with me on his
Self-Reliant Filmmaking blog.)While training documentary videomakers at the Jamaican Broadcasting Company, I developed some one-page checklists for producers, camerapersons and editors. You're welcome to print out and distribute these copyrighted pages, as long as you don't alter or charge for them:
Finally, for you teachers, I've prepared some camera
training assignments and a couple of quizzes
referring to The Bare Bones Camera Course book you can print out
and use however you wish.
