This was a long read but was full of good infromation. I like how he reffred to the reader as the maker as in film maker. I also found it amusing when he would tell the reader things like if this is boring you stop reading as to do so is a waste of time. i like how he asumed that we as students propbly do not have any equminet, but to get some, and i like the list of things he said to have 16 mm film a old camera from your grandparents atic, its not everyday someone tell you to get low tech equ instead of buying a multi mill. dollar camera, to me that is stupid especialy if you know nothing about filmmaking,. i also enjoyed reading the pathe myth, between him andMelies, i have heard this before in other classes and always enjoye it, he went in to great detail about how film is projected which always loses me, for i am a hands on type of learner, and didn't understand these concepts until i was physicaly shown how cameras work and projection. the paper flicker was amusimg for that is bascily what we are doing on the basicl level. Again when he talked about splicing i had a hard time folowing reading it as in depth he went. but i have a basic understanding for spliceing. This guy realy knows his stuf and i like the way he writes and ingages the reader.
