Summary: 303 experiences
Review: This book is a good book for references and is not a book on making a movie per se, but it still has some valuable information that I would have never learned from my teacher at my local college. He show you a lot of different solutions for certain situations which is really good, but a lot of the solutions have to do with lighting which is good but at the same time it leaves you wanting more of the non-lighting solutions. But what really caused me to give this book a four-star is that all his solutions are examples of his past jobs, which is the principle reason to make this book and is a good thing(to learn from his experiences) but, he digresses from the teaching of the solution to further educate you on irrelevant info. He also has a humorous approach to the solutions which was really a plus. Overall this book is good as a reference if you can get past the irrelevant stuff, but other than that, like I said, it is a good book.

Summary: Useful but . . .
Review: I've enjoyed this book mainly because of the way that readers can quickly find advice about common concerns on a wide variety of video topics. The author speaks authoritatively and uses events from his work as examples. However, these examples sometimes are so specific to the author's experience that they seem very narrow and difficult to reproduce. Yes, I'm a novice, a rank amateur trying to learn more. So I don't know all the terms that the author uses about lighting equipment, for example. And the author doesn't bother to define some items. Thus, the book is of limited use to the novice videographer. Finally, the title is a bit of a cheat. The initial paragraphs for each chapter are labeled as "solutions," but they are really just introductions. Gimmicks like that make me question the book's credibilty. Still, I've enjoyed the book and benefited from its advice. It's always nice to learn from the pros.
