introduction

hi all,

i just found this network through sync.sound.cinema and i have a seedling as my picture because i am new in the world of sound for film.

i wanted to introduce myself and wish this site great success, and also ask a question to all members: can you suggest to me or cull from your personal experience, ways of practicing techniques that you have found to be important on location that i could adapt for myself?

What resources do you have available? That may help with suggestions ...
