I answer your video questions.

Need advice on how to shoot? Have questions about why your video didn't work quite the way you wanted, and what to try next time? Or something you've seen in a video, a film, or on TV?

Ask me anything. If it creates a "teachable moment" (see below) I'll feature your question and my best advice in an upcoming post.

You get answers– and I get another week without having to come up with a great post on my own. Win/win, right?

One quick thing: You'll need to be a member to ask a question. You can sign up here! It's free!

Some thoughts on making sure your question gets answered:

Vague bad, specific good. "What do you think of this video?" is way too general. But "How can I improve my storytelling in the part of my video where the grandmother pets the cat?" might. Not because cats are cute (although they are and so, sometimes, are grandmothers) but talking about specific techniques makes my answer useful to other readers.

Not sure your question is a "teachable moment"? Try it. What's the worst that can happen? For inspiration, here are some examples (more in the article section):

You don't need to attach a video, but if you do: Include a public URL (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) and a time-code reference so everyone can see the part of the video you're asking about.

No, we won't post your email but we need it in case we have a question about what you posted. We will print your name (or nickname, if you type it in.)

Apologies in advance if I can't use your question, and unfortunately I can't reply personally.
