Reasonable Tutorial DVDs

Does anyone know of any good/decent tutorial DVDs for under $100. I understand I am asking for the impossible, but I don't want to spend more than my means. If I could justify spending more I would do so happily, but alas I'm not at that stage in my film making career. I refuse to resort to pirating, so any assistance with finding dvds in my price range would be appreciated. Oh, just in case... I did search and fine a few interesting threads on the issue, but hoped no one would mind me trying a new thread on the issue.

Thx
 
There is an online rental place that rents tutorial/training DVDs.... like hollywood cameraworks and such. I can't remember what the heck the name of the website is. My bro-in-law would know... maybe he will read this and post the name. I know that doesn't help much right now. :)
 
Wow!

Wow!

Wow, I had no clue! I'll try to do a search, in the mean time maybe someone will know. Thanks for the information. I'm very eager to learn all I can about the craft. I may have to rent now, but I'll be sure to buy them later when I can. It's the least I can do for having the opportunity to learn more about the craft. Besides, I love owning source material =)

Thx again!

What sort of topics would you like to see covered on an inexpensive DVD?

Uh-oh.... I think this is a trick question =) {pardon my humor}

I totally understand... you get what you pay for. I know there are DVD sets out there that cost $500 and more that are worth every penny... and even more. I don't mean any harm by looking for cheap DVDs. It's find inexpensive DVDs or do without at the moment. I really want to learn more about the craft and $500 (as with a set I really, REALLY want) is currently out of the question.

It may be rude for me to be looking for cheap tutorial DVDs... I didn't mean to offend anyone who makes tutorials, etc.

I want to learn more about everything, but specifically cinematography. Even more specific.... more about working with camera supports (cranes, dollys, stabilizers, etc).
 
I wasn't trying to be a dick at all, man. I completely agree with you that a lot of the stuff is overpriced. I'd like to see some things available cheaper and a little more specialized.
 
Forgive me

Forgive me

Forgive any offense.

I agree. I'd like to see some things more specialized as well. I would like to learn as much as possible, but more about what shots work well together and why, what ones don't etc. I read in a book that gave a simple example of when to go to a close up and when not to. I had never ran across anything like that before and was wondering if there was other great wisdom out there.

I am very interested in camera movement as well. Hence my interest in dollys, stabilizers, jibs, etc.

Thank you for your input!

they have the dov simen dvd film school, hollywood camerawork, and the power of lighting. they have other dvds on just about every topic under the sun. i haven´t done it for awhile but i think it´s about 10 or 15 bucks per dvd for one week. considering those dvds are alot more expensive to buy it´s a pretty good deal.
