I'm sure you post is well intended, too.

I, too, started with film. Super 8 and then 16mm. I agree
it's a great place to start, but "the right way to learn"? It
seems to me the right way to learn is different with each
generation. It's good to keep up with technology.

I haven't found this to be the case. I have worked with
young people who grew up using consumer DV and have
learned a lot about framing a shot, moving the camera
smoothly, lighting and and even color.

I'm curious, Duck - why the list of actors with a couple
of singers thrown in? What does that have to do with this
discussion?
