Getting the action parts

[Farrell]

Part of the answer to your question is that in this business, if you ask one question, you will get at least 5 different BEST ways to do - and in some cases, ALL the other methods are stupid! You've gotta start to get a feel for whose advice you may trust, and then give 'em a try, but knowing that there may be a better way. Often you just have to find out what works best for you.

Good luck! Scary, isn't it!
