Eric Ian Steele writes a gorgeous guide to writing a logline. Part I. And Part II.
I'm still working on this.

A secret to boom operating is to:

"...[Y]ell out “Stand by for speed,” in [your] most professional voice, to let people know that [you are] not ready, and speed has not been called."

It's a secret. Don't tell anyone. Although personally I'm a fan of saying "Flying in!" and then proceeding safely and apace with whatever you were doing when someone calls for something on set. Just don't say "Wait". Drives everyone nuts.

Andrew Kramer's 40-minute tutorial on making a blown-up city in Aftereffects (in 2D yet) is... amazing. Amazing I say.
