Cine Gear Guide Volume 2 is more of the same with presentations on matteboxes, follow focus, mic booms, electronic zoom,focus controllers and more. Key grip veteran Chet Spinny gives an excellent demonstration on laying dolly track and controlling the dolly. The section on renting cinematography gear is also great if you are new to the process. Both Volume 1 and Volume 2 of the Gear Guide are up-to-date with the latest technologies. Here Jeff Treanor from Rosco Labs discusses LED lighting technology.

Movie Production includes additional information on cameras, dollies, jibs, basic audio, ethics and working with actors. One thing you will notice throughout the course is a focus on ethical considerations you should be mindful of when creating your art. Course producer Rush Hamden is clearly an authentic white hat educator.
