Share a still from your own video!

Whether you’re practicing at home or applying Oren’s steps to a professional project, we’d love to see what you produce. Wherever you are in the process—setting up your frame, playing with lighting, or finished entirely—share a still frame or clip with the community.

Some questions to consider as you work:

What emotion are you hoping to convey, and how?
How did you adapt Oren’s steps to fit your own equipment and location?
What was the most surprising part of the process? The most challenging?

Remember, cinematography is all about experimentation, so don’t be afraid to share what did and didn’t work along the way. We can’t wait to see what you create!
