Making of . . .

I don't know about you guys, but I am the one who buys the DVD “special editions”. I love watching the 'making of' section of the DVD and probably watch it more times then the actual movie itself. I even bought a movie just because I heard the 'making of' was good. It was “The Core”.

Recently I can across an awesome site, www.MakingOf.com. It provides a behind-the scenes look at the film industry through interviews with filmmakers, actors, directors, writers, producers and pretty much the key players.  So if you are teaching a specific area of the industry, you can share those interviews based on that topic. The categories are broken down to directors, editors, production designers, special effects/vfx, actors, producers, costume designers, cinematographers, composers, stunts, screenwriters, camera / elect. Dept, casting directors, and art directors. But with that said, the bulk of interviews are with directors, with over 120 videos which is great and 90 or so with actors. The remaining categories tend to be a bit limited, but the site is still relatively new and dynamically growing. Either way, check it out. – Cornell
