Review: Any film makers Bible - I was blown away with the volume and quality of information contained in this book. It's well researched and written in a way that amateur and professional film makers will benefit. Already (only had it for a week), I have learnt so much more about cameras, filming, sound recording and project planning etc., and I really thought I knew it all! It doesn't matter if you are amateur (like me), or professional, this book will serve you well. Highly recommended.
Review: A MUST HAVE FOR ANY ASPIRING FILMMAKER!!! - Very informative for someone who's passionate about film.making, this book contains EVERYTHING from sound to pre-production to whatever you can think of. BE AWARE! Some of the content may be getting a bit outdated such as the actual 'film' parts, but it's always good to know about the non-digital era. It's like saying we shouldn't watch citizen kane or casablanca as they're old and we should watch Gravity. No that's not right, therefore I'm not rating this book down for that. Would recommend this!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Auld Skool Meets New Skool
*by I***R on 17 August 2014*

I am an IT pro (paye 30 years - where did it go). This book is the real deal in an age of fast buck technology titles. It was an expensive Kindle title (by consideration of platform) but contains valuable content. It details the rudiments of digital filmmaking and real world experience. This discipline is important to me, its well researched and articulated, I highly recommend.
