Taking advantage of "the making" clips from movies to learn how to film or shoot video

This is useful for not only miniature sets, but for anybody that wants to do green/blue screen keying. Which is becoming insanely popular with Flash.

I've been finding a lot of the "making" sections of movies that are on DVDs and sites like the link below offer a lot of tips that can be taken advantage of in video for the web now that Flash has much better support for video, and in particular, the alpha channel.

From the Kingiskong.net site. Click on Post Production Diary - 9 Weeks to Go!

On a side note, I've been following the making of King Kong by Peter Jackson for quite a while now. I can't wait until it comes out. On the one hand, I like that I can see how they make everything, and they show most of their secrets, but on the other hand, when I go to the movie I expect that I'll enjoy it just a little bit less now that I know how everything works. Look for imperfections and stuff too probably.
