Camera Command - Ravas Partners
Category: DVD
Reviewed by: Damon Dietz
Rating: 5 out of 5
Summary:
Camera Command is an instructional DVD which teaches the fundamentals of photography and videography, including explanation of f-stops, shutter speeds and gain control, and how exactly these factors work together to control exposure and depth-of-field. Camera Command also explains some more educational aspects of cameras such as the properties of focal length, lens theory, and history. In the midst of the message, takes place a wacky adventure, in which 2 scientists take you on a zany roller coaster ride helping you learn the concepts presented on this DVD. It includes many practical tips on exposure, the purchase of photographic lenses, filtering, focusing technique, and much more!
What Worked:
The creativity and production value of this DVD is top notch. It is entertaining, informative, and a well thought out production. Unlike many of the training DVDs on the market today geared toward videographers, you can really tell the time & effort that Ravas Partners put into this production was extensive and of a professional caliber.
What Didn't Work:
This DVD is marketed to a photographer or videographer of any skill level, beginner through advanced, but I feel this is definitely more of a beginner level DVD. Or, I can say it should be. I can refute my original statement in this case by saying that even though a photographer or videographer might feel they are advanced because they have years of experience, many don't actually fully understand the concepts taught in this video, and therefore could greatly benefit from it.
The Bottom Line:
The bottom line is simple. Buy this DVD if any area of the summary sounds like something you don't have a full and complete understanding of. It's funny, clever, and well produced... And it's extremely well priced at $69.

I agree with Damon on this one. Although it does have a fair bit of beginners type content, some of it served to brush-up on things we take for granted and I personally liked the section on focal length. For $69USD it is well worth having regardless of your experience in the industry. This is a DVD that I have never regretted spending money on.
