Crams a lot of very useful information in a very friendly way (complete with natural outtakes) - hopefully a "Speed Shooting" course by Dave is in the making.

Thought Dave gave great shortcuts, insights into editing with FCP. Even after years of both teaching and using Final Cut I learned a ton of useful info to both help teach my classes and edit my own projects. Thanks Dave.
