Fast-Track Crib Sheets

Overview

Not every filmmaking problem needs a 10-hour course, a thick book, or a deep dive you’ll never finish. Sometimes you’re on a deadline, on set, or in the edit… and you just need the answer. Now.
 
That’s what the Fast-Track Crib Sheets are built for.
 
They’re quick-reference guides for the gritty, awkward, “you’re just expected to know this” details nobody actually teaches. The stuff you end up secretly Googling between takes, or pretending you understand in a room full of people who look more confident than you feel.
 
Each sheet is:
 
Fast and clear enough for a beginner who’s never stepped on set.
Detailed and specific enough to sharpen seasoned pros who never got formal training, but are tired of guessing.
 
The Fast-Track Crib Sheets tackle things like:
 
On-camera interview flow – subtle techniques that make talent relax, open up, and sound human instead of stiff and over-rehearsed.
Teleprompter & voiceover etiquette – how pros prep, pace, and deliver so it sounds sharp and natural, not robotic or “reading.”
Story structures that actually work – simple frameworks that turn weak, scattered ideas into clear, compelling narratives… without needing a full screenwriting class.
Green/blue screen without the rookie sins – practical setups, do’s and don’ts, and on-set checks that save you from ugly edges, bad spill, and painful fixes in post.
Real-world podcast workflows – plug-and-play paths whether you’re solo DIY at home or running a multi-mic studio, so you stop overcomplicating the setup and just hit record.
Instant credibility details – the small, quiet choices (framing, audio, behavior, terminology) people can’t always explain, but definitely notice when they’re missing.
 
No fluff, no theory spiral, just straight, fast, “do this, not that” guidance you can actually use in real time.
