Youtube Film School

I wondered if we could collect enough Youtube tutorial vids to give a beginner a solid overview of filmmaking. If anyone posts a vid PLUS the link I'll put them in order and embed them in the original post.

-Just an idea. I'm learning a ton from just flicking around.

They look good Sonny. Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for. If you give me the links I can embed them in the right places. I noticed you snuck some of your links onto Wikipedia too!

Really? When did I do that? I don't remember adding anything to Wikipedia except when they interviewed me a year or two ago.

The links are right there with each video in the posts...
 
Surely the presence of youtube means absence of formal formal film making schools.. There is plenty of stuff here. One needs to see the videos, take out the cam and start practicing...
 
This channel has some great low/no-budget tricks for shooting:

A couple favorites of mine that they have done:

Contrazoom technique

How to shoot a continuous shot with one actor playing two parts, no cloning involved

Fun trick on perspective to make it look like someone is flying + the importance of sound design

Type in "robert rodriguez film school" into youtube you will find a ton of film shcool tips he did. He put a short 10 to 15 minute film school as a bonus on every movie he has released. Good stuff.

I have seen alot of the videos you guys have mentioned good stuff. Amazing what you can learn form youtube.
