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 in film and
video. They're used
as basic texts by hundreds of schools like the University of Southern
California, Syracuse University, Vassar College, Boston University, New
York University, Vanderbilt University, Stanford University and others.
So far, I've sold more than 158,000 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 Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation, 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.
