Michael: you're amazing. I've never seen such a series of concise and precise video tutorials which motivates and educate me on shooting. I'll shoot the exercise soon!

Hi Manoo. I don't believe in hidden cameras any more than I believe in breaking into a convenience store when you need something. When you go to do a shoot you want the enthusiastic cooperation of the participants - after all, this is THEIR story that you are telling, no yours. So tell them exactly what you have in mind. Share your ideas with everyone. Get them on board. Be open and friendly. MOst people like the idea of being in a film or a video or being on TV. They'll be very helpful. If they don't want to participate, then it's better to know early so you can find some place else, but in my experience, people want to be filmed about 95% of the time. 99% of the time in America.

Thank you Michael for all this. Do we have a handbook or a link about how to take permissions from people at location I plan to shoot or I plan to approach. I mean permission from the owner and also from their clients to be part of my shooting. Sorry for this question but I am just a beginner and very enthusiastic too.
