But seriously, I expect there must be at least a few good books on (2D)
cinematographic technique available. (I've never looked for one - I recall
seeing books on video techniques. Could anybody recommend a title?)

Such books wouldn't include all the "trade secrets", but they might
give a good general idea of the common methods and conventions for 2D
films.

(BTW - I thought yours was by far the best post in the recent "Emanon"
discussion.)
