A great tutorial from Video Maker that shows all the basic types of camera movement AND some possible reasons for using these types of camera movement. You may notice that you don't have some of the camera equipment to make these types of movement possible. While you might not be able to make the movements smoothly such as in the case of a dolly or a trucking shot, you can always find a DIY way to make it happen. For example, dolly shots can be done by walking. They're not smooth this way, but you can still teach the concept. Be creative, use office chairs, radio flyer wagons, the little rollie carts from PE (you know what I'm talking about?). There's always a way to make it work.

Good tutorial on the importance of focus and how to mark focus points on a lens. Ends with a DIY follow focus which is totally not worth it but hey, it sucked me in enough to watch it so I suppose it served its purpose.

RigWheels are an affordable DIY professional dolly system.

Lights to bright? How to make a cheap dimmer switch. I think I'm going to buy the materials and just have a student make a couple of these during class time.
