This book is a video/ film making guidebook, it doesn't detail how to do the work instead it provides an outline of the work to be done and how to prepare for making it good work. The work is shared with 242 pages, there is a lot of space for note making, the print is large enough to make this an easy read in comparison to other heavier duty books. The details of filmmaking and video editing are discussed in a planning way in order to allow individuals working to shoot video for sharing with an outline of the steps of the process to follow. The details with the planning that will impact the story sharing with video results are highlighted. The author sounds like an individual that has worked in editing OR as a director that has also done the work into editing, which means a person who works from the beginning for the values of the final results. Aspects involved with the values for the final results have great impact on the work being done as well as how it gets done. Because the values of the final results generally are to have an audience that enjoys the results, the book comments with the audience in focus are shared often. The practicality of the information is super useful, for example on p.145 the first paragraph states, "Time is your most precious commodity. If you're shooting an event, it's going to end. Your subjects may run out of time or patience. Or the sun may be going down. Whatever the reason, video shoots always involve some form of beat-the-clock." The value of this book is that it provides advice for not being trapped with unplanned time uses and costs AND it doesn't take a lot of hard work to read the material. I've only read some of it so far, there may be additional comments later, but there may not be. This book can be great for me, I'm so glad it was gotten.Read full review

The book is full of great pointers for an amateur videographer like myself. You can tell that the auther is a bit of a liberal by some of his comments/examples. Definately worth the buy, however.

Filmmaking is very technical stuff, but this is not a boring technical manual. It is written to be read- enjoyable reading and you'll learn a BUNCH! You'll even be a better film viewer after reading it, and worth reading even if you just have a curiosity about filmmaking. Thumbs up, five stars.
