- Alright, folks, ya made it. Congratulations if you've finished this massive beast of a course. I've been developing this course for years and it's very gratifying knowing that you're watching this, that someone has consumed and appreciated these efforts to share what I've learned. Remember that cinematography is an art and, as an art, it takes a while to get the hang of it sometimes. And then you finally make something you're actually proud of and then you grow some more and soon hate the stuff that you were recently proud of. So, work at it and be patient with yourself while you figure it out. And, also, because it's an art, there really are no set answers or rules. For every rule, there's someone that has broken that rule in an elegant way that totally works. But knowing these standards gives you a great baseline, so you know how and when those standards can be ignored. Thanks again for watching this course and we'll see you in the next course on editing.
