Guilty.

Yeah, me too . It was good to see he understood the importance of feet shots, tho.

I'd like to add an eighth one:

Shooting video randomly with the intention of thinking you can just fix it in post.

Did someone mention feet shots?

Those were very good tips. I think you don't realize the firehosing until you edit. Then you realize it with jumpy all over the place video. I liked the tip on shooting highup or low shots to get an interesting prospective. Since I've been focusing on photography I've learned more about the rule of thirds and checking all 4 corners of the screen to get a good shot. Easier in photography than video because you can crop photos.
