    In an upcoming GSG Cast, can you talk about your camera gear, and what’s in your camera bag… I love hearing about what a photographer carries around with them to get the shots they get. Just a suggestion, loving the GSG cast!

    I would love to see a case study on how you go from brief to pitched storyboard, possibly with some insight from friends @ dk or otherwise, and what makes a storyboard “sellable”

    I’m testing the water here…I used some of the concepts from your “Guide to Keyframes in After Effects” tutorial. Looking forward to the next project!
