Continued education is essential for those looking to distinguish themselves and advance in their careers. In addition to attending classes, tutorials, and sharing knowledge with friends and colleagues, I have acquired a wealth of information from books. I would like to share my favorites here, which have had the most significant impact on my professional journey.

Each of these books I have read and own with great pleasure, returning to them often as reference. They have all been instrumental in problem-solving, revealing secrets that once seemed magical, accessible only to those who possessed the key, or just had some knowledge they were born with.

The world’s largest fully searchable cinematic image database. Loads of high quality stills from Film, Television, Commercials and Music Videos. Incredible reference and information.

From the About page -

"Founded by Lawrence Sher, ASC (DP of Joker, The Hangover Trilogy, Garden State) in 2014, ShotDeck was built by filmmakers for filmmakers. What started as a simple way to search and categorize our favorite shots has evolved into an incredible resource that celebrates the art of cinema and the artists who craft it. From pitch, to prep, to post, we want ShotDeck to help you express your vision every step of the way."

Great resource for gizmos, scripts, TCL and tutorials all community made.

You ever think of a technique but can remember the name or just looking for a new idea? Eyecandy's got you covered. Endless feed of ideas and styles to try. Community created visual goodies.

I have discovered that numerous artists are often unaware of the extensive range of tutorials and documentation available on the Foundry's official website. It serves as an excellent resource to kickstart your journey or to acquire new skills.
