Well I figure I might as well work on that.
Ryan, this is my last piece of advice to you until you come back with something to show us that
isn't a test video:
You aren't going to get any decent practice with camera work until you are willing to shoot something complete. In other words, you learn how to do this not by shooting a pan shot and posting it for feedback, but by shooting short films and getting critique on them (including camera work). Post a completed work, and we'll go from there.
Your first efforts might suck. In fact, they probably will. And that's okay. I think your bigger problem is that you are afraid of messing it up... but what better way to learn? Make something terrible. Or, maybe it won't be completely terrible but will be a bit rough. Either way, that's the only productive way for you to get useful advice, and to better your skills. And then you bring back another. And another. And another.
I look back at the first stuff I shot on my own and realize how unrefined I was when I started out some 20+ years ago. Hell, I look at stuff I shot
last year and see stuff I can't believe I missed.
And stop spending all your time asking as many people as you can for advice. Screenplays, story ideas, producers lying about budgets, whatever. Just, stop. You have a short script in hand (and you need to go over it in detail with the writer to make sure you understand it all). You have a resource for public domain material that you can use to practice shooting what really amounts to a visual essay.
Don't be afraid to bring back something that's imperfect. It's the only way we're going to break the cycle here.
That's it. That all I have. And if you keep posting about your scripts or your reasons why you cannot shoot this or finish that, all you're going to hear from me (if anything) is to stop what you're doing and go make something. Seriously... the next thing you post here should be a finished short film.
TL;DR: Stop posting, and don't start again until you have a competed short film or visual poem.
