you never really read this book, it's a reference. basics of how to work movie cameras and camcorders.
If I wanted to read an instruction manual... I'd read this.
Well it took most of the summer to read, but was well worth it. If you ever thought filmmaking was fairly straightforward, take a crack at this book. From pre to post-production, scheduling a shoot and which equipment to choose and why, lenses and filters and sound systems and editing platforms/techniques, blocking a concept all the way to marketing and distribution, this book has it all, in almost ridiculous detail. Highly technical but unpretentious and readable. As assigned readings go, this ...more
This book is a wealth of information. You won't could come away from it feeling completely proficient in any one of its many topics, but you'll certainly know a little bit about all of them.

A lot of information in one volume. Couldn't find an earlier copy I had, and glad I bought the latest version.
Lots of new data about HDTV, and updates of older still very important reference information.

Not quite as up-to-date as I would have liked (the edition I had was the 2004) but quite an interesting reference book. The section on Marketing was both fascinating and applicable.
I bought this because my boss recommended it. I think it was a good read, but most of the useful information is on wikipedia.
Very great supplement to an education. Thorough and easy to follow. Covers everything generally.
It's a text book for me and it's freaking awesome!
