  • The title was misleading. I mean, this guy just talked about examples of different types of documentaries, about documentaries today, etc, but I was expecting some tips on lighting, locations, questions, settings, and transitions. And despite the piece of equipment in the background, the lighting on himself is awful, making it (1) hard on the eyes to watch it and (2) making me not trust him because if he can't light himself, how can I trust him to give me good filming techniques?
