EVER FORGET TO DO SOMETHING?

Back in the day (late 90's), I was turned on to a simple way to drastically improve my shooting: video feedback. I know this is probably not the first time you've heard of making a video of your training for review and correction later, but reading some old AAR's of some of Paul Howe's classes jarred my memory.

I stopped doing this at some point when the camera I was using died, and just never really started it up again. Pretty lame, huh. If you are having issues finding a training partner, or you and your partner only get together occasionally, video feedback is a must. As with all training, honesty with yourself is obviously a must. If you are just taking video to see yourself being a badass, don't waste your time. Remember, growth requires pain and struggle. Be ruthless with yourself, and share the video with your partner and have him rip it apart.

Use this invaluable tool to identify things requiring work, and develop your plan accordingly. I am interested to hear your thoughts on camera types and systems for this application, as I am now in search of a good camera system.

Take advantage of this lesson learned at my expense: just because it's not convenient, doesn't mean it's not valuable.
