The following are comments from members from the video library section.

Ron - That was AWESOME!!!  The sound was great - very easy to understand you.  Great instruction - and explanation.  Great job - the best one I have seen yet.  Thanks for all you do. -  Angie (Royal Oak, MI)

Ron these are great. You make learning this stuff so FUN! These videos show me why you are the best! Every video you do takes a light years leap in improvement. Your seniors must think you are the coolest!  - Rob (Jackson, MI)

Ron, Great Video! I really liked the in-depth explanation of various types of poses for that set instead of just the pose that was the final shot. Nice editing.
 
Give your videographer ( son ? ) a raise. Good job on zooming and panning the set and showing the equipment. Showing the equipment that is used and brief examples of the various ways it can be used to acquire the shot is a plus in my book. - Paul (Maryville, TN)

As always, nicely done!  I'm hoping to acquire some of those little strobes for some fun accents
(Just got some gels) soon. - Branden (McKinney, TX)

WOW Ron this is the best yet. Unbelievably detailed.
I am so glad to see you using the tripod with the digital. This video single handedly opened my eyes to how you get those great catch lights........THANKS SO MUCH.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - R. Lewis, MI

I have spent several hours going through Portranet today.  The videos are essential.  I created a word document that lays out a sequence of poses with notes to myself about light placement, posing etc. I then watched the video and edited my document to include the extra insights from the videos.  I pasted some stills from the videos into my document when they provided additional important info not found in the threads.  The videos are great though several viewings are needed to fully appreciate them.  Thanks.  - David H. (Winslow, ME)
