  • You know I'm only here because I like the hat, right? It's all about the hat. Love the hat - it brings it all together.

  • Not to put too fine a point on it but if you're making video training DVD's you ought to know that the rule to avoid a jump cut isn't "..move the camera over about two feet..."

    Film and video production - shooting and editing - dictates that the camera angle should change by at least 30 degrees from one shot to the next to avoid jump cuts.

    Even still, rules are made to be broken. Scorsese and Schoonmaker slammed the viewer with jump cuts toward the end of Goodfella's and it worked.
