Thanks for all your feedback, guys. Always helpful.

I learned most of my "what not to do while shooting" by editing the footage I shot and thinking "Awwww crap. I need to remember not to do X," etc.

It would no doubt benefit me to edit another shooter's footage so I can learn a different set of mistakes to not do, instead of the same set of mistakes from my footage. :-)

Too funny! I'll never forget the sense of horror I had watching my own stuff when I first edited it. Thank God it's much better now, though I still see things I can't believe I was stupid enough to do.
