5 Great Tools for Film & Video Makers (That You’ve Probably Never Heard of) Pt. 1
There are so many great tools out there for independent filmmakers that this superabundance has created two great difficulties:
1) Too many options (Which to choose? Which to use first? How to keep tools from getting in the way of creative endeavors?)
2) Finding and keeping up with all of the opportunities that exist.
I’m going to address the first of these problems at a later date, but right now I wanted to address the second by looking at five great (and little-known) tools independent film/video makers can use to build their careers. (Looking for even more? Check this out.)
