Hello all. I asked Dr. Raimist if I could post a potential resource for anyone who may be interested, and I received the go ahead. I'm providing a link to a forum ran by Roger Deakins. For those who may or may not recognize the name; he is one of the premiere cinematographers in the industry. You have more than likely seen his work: Shawshank Redemption, No Country for Old Men, Skyfall, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, The Big Lebowski, and Fargo, just to name a few of his more familiar works. Deakins has been working in the industry for 30 years now. In his time, he has worked with documentaries, music videos, and largely feature films. He has developed an amazing craft and lighting style that is used beautifully in all of his films.
       Now, Rodger has developed his own approach to his work, and with that, comes a few things of note: he has an involved approach with his work; he operates camera on all his films, and he keeps his crew to a minimum. This means that more often than not, he doesn't hold positions for additional crew like extra camera assistants, camera PAs, or camera trainees. He has the chemistry and work experience with his selected crew. That's not a slight on more inexperienced personnel; it's just a preference he has chosen for his particular type of work environment. However, given his experience and knowledge, Roger knows that he can still serve aspiring film makers in some capacity. That is where he came up with the forum. He has made himself available to questions of potential film makers. If you have a question about a particular setup he choose for this shot, or what he may recommend for something you are working on, a particular piece of equipment; this gives you the opportunity to ask him about it. Now, there is no absolute guarantee that he will get to every question; but, another great advantage to the forum is that it is full of members capable and willing to provide answers to them. The forum has been around for awhile so there are already plenty of materials and comments from Roger that you can read through. The sign up process is simple, free, and only takes a few minutes.
      Bear with me, as I would like to share one more potential resource that may interest you. There are countless film books out there that cover virtually every angle imaginable. However, there is one that I have found to be among the best out there, especially in regard to cinematography: Painting with Light by John Alton. This is a fantastic piece of literature by another renowned master DP. Some of the excerpts may be a tad dated, but many of the fundamentals and practices are still relevant and used in the industry today. It's a great read for anyone interested.
       I hope these resources can be helpful or at least interesting for anyone who looks into them.

I'm sure cheaper copies can be found out there.
