 The Filmaker's Handbook August 11, 2008
Excellent resource explaining data and software issues for film and digital video. this book was recommended to me by the teacher in my TV media class.
Finally the Technical Information I have been Craving! July 29, 2008
Very detailed breakdown of how to do film production. Even if you are specializing in a particular department, you should read this book. It gives excellent information that helps you make informed decisions based on the type of production. It also goes into detail about each aspect of the film making process. If you feel overwhelmed by the amount of information surrounding film production, this one book will give you the confidence to make informed decisions. It breaks everything down into understandable language and is easy to read. It also helps you learn about the various options you have as a film maker. This truly is a film makers Bible! I don't think I would recommend it to costumers or make up artists but for anyone working in the technical fields surrounding film production this is a great resource book.
If you could only buy one book - consider this one first June 14, 2008

I have an entire library of filmmaking books - this one book (esp. the 2008 update) is fantastic - covering every aspect of filmmaking - and not just the technical stuff - even working with actors, directing and some basics of film theory. Of course it is best at the technical side - including HD production and post production editing. Very few of my collection come close to this one for breadth and depth.
This book is Great for catching up on technologies. May 2, 2008

I'm a broadcast engineer that has worked with analog systems all his life. I recently started working in a Full SD television studio and in a year or so may want to go HD. This book helps to give you a basic grasp of terminology for the new HD world, as well as tips for every aspect from Pre-production to post- production and even distrubution.
