Welcome to the brand new e-book based on the popular Phantom Filmschool series of online courses.
A lot of students have asked me for a book or cheat-sheet as a convenient way to remind them of the killer shots taught in the courses.
So I decided to create this e-book. And instead of basing it only on a single course I decided to take it all the way and teach all 22 killer shots taught in Phantom Filmschools 1,2 & 3.
This book takes hours and hours of course material and distills it into a user friendly format with:
- a description of the killer shot
- a video demo of the shot
- key settings
- the methodology, and
- screenshots with notes and annotations
In addition to this the book also covers alternative methods for several shots and also deals with popular items such a the batch waypoint tool to fly relative to ground.
If you enjoyed Phantom Filmschool then you are going to love this handbook.
