Another clutch of links I have enjoyed in the past week:

• Videomaker’s CES 2014 Coverage in a nutshell –  CES is so last week and you’re probably already  bored of hearing about 4K and curved TVs, but, if you’re not, hit this link up to see what was announced.
• Top 6 fears of do-it-yourself (DIY) video producers: the executive summary is fear, lack of money, poor knowledge, no time, no ideas and no traffic. But the article is worth reading as it provides ideas on how to address each.
• David Kelley on the need for creative confidence – follow up interview to a Ted talk – both are worth your time.
• EC Abrams After Effects tutorials which I just discovered on YouTube. Especially:
  • Split and Slide (like you see in the hippidy hop videos!)
  • Film Dust and Scratches (and a little extra)
  • How to use the Moving Frames Montage Template
• 3 Simple Tips for Filming Without Lights (Interior) – because, the one-man-crew often finds himself without such filmmaking luxuries as lights.
• Four TED Talks Every Filmmaker Should Watch – more TED goodness
• Woody Allen’s Cinematographer Has 6 Life-Saving Tips for Low-Budget DPs – solid advice well worth your time if you’re ever the camera opperator.
