What's everyone's favorite ways to hone your skills and get better at filmmaking? Primarily camera work?
I'm trying to come up with ways to engage in projects, without the need to make a big production. Volunteering for other productions would help, but I find it hard to apply as the DP for those jobs, usually they come pre-packaged with the Director or Producer.
I was thinking of taking up photography, just to get some work with lighting and framing. Anyone else doing something to touch up skills or improve their work?
Could apply to other things too, not just Cinematography.
