The sky's the limit with the GoPro Hero. It will add thousands of dollars in production value to your shoot and open up endless possibilities for you and your storytelling.
It really does put the power in your hands and allows you to shoot footage that before was only possible with thousands of dollars worth of rigging.
We think it is such an important part of your Maverick MovieMaking strategy that we took a few moment to review it.

Maverick MovieMaking is a way to level the playing field (somewhat) between the major Hollywood studios and the independent film maker. These tutorials can't help you make the next "Avengers" movie, but it can you to realize that there are short cuts that can be taken without taking out the production value in your movie. You have a great idea for a movie, but you can't quite figure out how to execute it without spending more than you have in your budget. Or you want to make a movie, but don't know where to start. Let us help you...
Homework:
These two books will change the way you look at film making.
Welcome to Maverick MovieMaking. Do you want to become a filmmaker or start a vlog? If you want to make the next Hollywood blockbuster or just start making movies for your friends, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!
Over the years, I've researched and studied film making from
a variety of sources. I've networked to the
ends of the earth and basically learned how to make films piece meal style,
I've taken things from every little experienced that worked for me and what
I've learned from others. One of the
things that I've also learned is that it’s very difficult to get all of this
information all in one place. One
website, podcast, blog that’s like a one stop shop in learning independent
film. Not just for anybody, but for the
broke, off the pulse little towns, who each has someone who is interested in
making their own movie but don’t know where to start or what the easiest and
most pain free way to make a movie. I'll take you through each step that you'll need to make a great movie with the minimal amount of resources (i.e. money), just like I've done. I want to help everybody achieve the same kind of success that I've enjoyed and hopefully I can help you to avoid the pitfalls and setbacks that I've had as well.
