Yeah Thanks for that.

In return could I recommend https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hollywoodcamerawork.

I put up the Pixar course to emphasise storytelling, but I'm OK with web pointers and headsups to the mechanics.

It depends, after all, on what sort of movies  you want to make.

I have no idea how many iClone users are interested in making shorts and features, sitcoms, documentaries etc.

I wonder is there any way to find out and gather them each into their own threads on this forum?

Well I have to say that I would not go that way, bud.

Everyframe a painting is worthy but leaves out the reasons people watch TV and movies in the first place.

Rocket Jump Film School is also worthy in that it teaches the mechanics.

Then there's Pixar.

Now I am not wholly in tune with Pixar's Fairy Tale mechanics, but I don't deny they work and are successful.

If you are not willing to learn from success you will never run out of failures to imitate.

So I am happy to suspend my disbelief and study any scraps Pixar is willing to throw my way.

Their careful pre-editing of storyboards appeals.

I suggest that RL is close to being able to produce content on the acceptable level at the moment and I hope to do just that.

But thanks for the YouTube web refs, anyway.

Yes, that is a good course.  Thanks.

I also recommend many of the videos by John Hess on his Filmmaker IQ channel.  (Easy-button link.)  He covers a wide range of topics, and is excellent in his presentation.
One that is very relevant to many iClone films is, "How a Director Stages and Blocks a Scene."

This is a free course and I find it an amazing set of insights into compelling storytelling. They are up to Film Grammar.

That's really cool thanks for the link.

I watched the first 2 episodes and it is really inspiring.
