A professional camera man or video fanatic should film video everyday. The article clearly expresses six reasons why. The first reason is that when you film everyday you familiarize yourself with the cameras and equipment. This makes using the equipment a second nature for you. The second reason is that you get better when you do something over and over. Your skills will increase with more and more experience. Reason three is that you will be able to experiment with different things (camera angles, framing, etc.) and you'll learn new ways to shoot. The fourth reason to film everyday is that you will start to realize what your strengths and weaknesses are, causing you to learn from mistakes and improve yourself. Reason number five states that you will make filming a habit and habits can be your friend. Lastly, you should film every day because it makes you look for new subjects and ideas.
I probably could've shortened this list a bit, but ehh. Alright, so really good tips, if I actually had access to a good camera everyday, I'd probably start shooting in my free time. It's always a good idea to train yourself if you want to be good at something. I like the idea of realizing what your weaknesses are and improving upon them. It might seem a little tedious but if you like video, why not shoot something everyday to better your skills?
