As in most professions the apprentice model works great. Great for engineering, law, medicine, woodcraft, ironworks, etc.

My intent in the statement "Videographer as mentor" - Find someone that has professional experience in broadcast, media production, or even a good video teacher at school.

Periodically run clips by them and ask them to comment. I suggest wearing 'iron pants'.

When I was a teenager I did some radio work. The pro's would review the tapes with red pencil and copy in hand. It wasn't pretty at first but you learn a lot.

Mentoring by professionals encompasses all areas, not just robot building.
