ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Doug Jensen, a veteran director of photography, cinematographer, and educator, has created more than two dozen Sony camcorder training videos and books. Doug doesn’t simply tell you what a feature does. He explains why it matters, when you should use it, and how to use it effectively in real-world production. He also shares his favorite custom settings, professional best practices, advanced techniques, and dozens of tips and tricks developed from decades of experience behind the camera. Think of it as having a private, one-on-one training session with Doug Jensen—without the expense or inconvenience of hiring him for personal instruction.
