Shooting Awesome Video is the world’s best complete beginning course on shooting high quality video.
If your video footage looks like “Blair Witch” or “Cloverfield”, and you wish it looked more like “Amelie” or “Hero”, Shooting Awesome Video is the perfect learning experience. It is like a complete “consumer film school” for anyone who wants to dramatically improve the quality of the video footage they shoot.
Shooting Awesome Video is not meant for professionals. It was created for novices who wish to learn Hollywood secrets of camera operation, composition, lighting and location sound in a fun, family-friendly, fast-paced course. However, Shooting Awesome Video is such an excellent complete introduction to production it is the perfect prerequisite to more professional-level courses such as our DV Enlightenment lighting course.
Shooting Awesome Video was originally released on CD-ROM, and has already helped thousands of hobbyists, teachers, students, and budding filmmakers learn the essentials of shooting great-looking and great-sounding footage. The American Film Institute chose Shooting Awesome Video as the world’s best beginning production course for a program to teach Los Angeles District high school teachers about shooting digital video.

I have an older copy of this, love the information but is broken and doesn’t want to auto play. Takes forever to manually click .mov file and it actually play.
Has it been updated or is it just my PC? Replacement copy available?

I use a copy of this in my teaching and it doesn’t seem to work on the new iMacs or MacBook. It will run when I double-click it, but the menus are missing. Is this a version of QuickTime issue?
-
Yes, the good news is, we can fix you up with a free upgrade to our DVCU version. We will email you.

I have been using my old os9 version for years. That machine just gave out and the dvd won’t work on my newer osx 10.6 machine. Is there an upgrade available online or do I need to buy the latest version?

I am a bit late in responding but hope I can still get a working version of Shooting Awesome Video. It is a main introduction to my Media Class. Please let me know how I can accomplish this.
Thank you in advance.

I tried to use the CD-ROMs of the Shooting Awesome Video and Creating Awesome iMovies and I had trouble with QuickTime playing it. Is there a way we can fix this? Thanks.

Hi,
I wonder if you ll have a copy of Shooting Awesome Video on CD/DVD. I have purchased a downloaded version earlier this year. I find the learning material very useful, and now plan to send a copy to a friend who currently live and work in a remote corner of South East Asia. I have tried Amazon and Ebay with no luck. Thank you for reading this message.

Does your friend have access to the internet? If so, then all they’d need to do is download the course from DVcreators University!

I have enjoyed using both your “Making Awesome iMovies” and “Shooting Awesome Video” instructional DVD’s for several years in our Communications/Media program for digital video and filmmaking classes here. I have found these very helpful, beneficial and great overviews of the production process.
With the most recent Apple OS system updates, I can no longer use these… Are there updated units available which will work on current Apple systems? If so, how do I get these? Thanks for making a great product and I hope I can use tem again in the future!
-
Absolutely! We can get you set up with the digital versions. Can you private message me your email address? I’ll send over some more information.

Hello there. I see you’re generously offering to upgrade users from the CD-ROM to the DVCU version of Shooting Awesome Video. Please let me know how I can make the switch. Thanks!

I had written a few years back (SEE ABOVE) regarding updated DVD versions (or electronic downloads) of this series. I used the original for many years in college courses and would like to use it again. How can I get a copy of the digital version? Thanks!
