Greg: On Mike Figgis

During the past 3 weeks, we have been doing a number of things. We have learned about how to properly make films digitally and about the entire process. We've also learned how to edit and trim the videos we shoot. We have even taken some trips to different locations to shoot even better videos. We have also been learning about digital filmmaking in a different way. We have been reading Mike Figgis' book on digital filmmaking. It has given a lot of insight on how to treat the equipment we're given, how to maintain our workspace. One thing that I learned from reading this book was that it doesn't matter what kind of camera you may have. It all depends on the filmmaker to make a good film.
