The printable Creator’s Cheat Code
Alongside the lessons you’ll also get a printable cheat code card. When you’re out filming, it’s surprisingly easy for your mind to go blank. That’s why we created the Creator’s Cheat Code.
It’s a simple printable reference card you can keep with you when you’re filming. Before pressing record, quickly run through the triggers and ask yourself:
“Does this shot contain at least one of these ideas?”
If the answer is no, it’s often a sign the shot could be improved.
DESIGNED FOR THE REAL WORLD
This guide isn’t meant to sit unread in your downloads folder.
It’s designed as a quick reference you can use while filming.
Many creators:
• save it to their phone
• screenshot the checklist
• or better still, PRINT it so it is available to review before filming a shot
It’s essentially 15 years of filmmaking experience distilled into one simple field guide.
I wish we had this when we started!
