Directing Movies, Vol. 1: From Action to Wrap

I am a huge idiot for having bought this without checking the reviews first. You would be a much bigger idiot if you repeat my mistake. Take your money you would have spent on this and flush it down the toilet, while doing so film it on your cell phone camera, burn it to a DVD, and your finished product will be more interesting and worthwhile than this tripe. What a colossal waste. No redeeming value of any kind, except to say that clearly ANYONE can make a movie.

Don't waste your hard earned money
This is 101 minutes of poorly shot talking heads, discussing seventies schlock movies with very little redeeming value. That would have been tolerable if there was any insightful directing instruction. Simply not there. I was disappointed, myself.

horrible
I don't like to really be negative in general in my life, but I feel I must truly warn those out there who think this is a slick well-polished instructional video, to take a second look at all these comments. This video looks like and was probably shot in the early 80's with home video cameras. It is not interesting nor is it very good at teaching, and the films it shows you how to aspire to are really cheap B-movies that wouldn't sell in the $1 DVD bin at Walmart. Time to retire this old video and take it off the search engines. Steer clear filmmakers...
