How do you get to be a good photographer? A crash-course on video. In this parody, the Ten Commandments of Photography are drummed into an amateur photographer in a manner strongly reminiscent of the bizarre way in which television popularizes complicated subjects. One of the useful recommendations, for example, is 'photography is light, so keep the darkroom closed'. The innocent student and moralizing teacher play out an extremely well maintained farce which confirms the old saying: you can teach a person everything - except talent.
