5 out of 5 stars THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT   October 28, 2008
I JUST STARTED DOING THE FILMMAKING THING, AND THIS BOOK WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS


5 out of 5 stars GREAT!!!   September 30, 2008
If you want to learn filmmaking, buy this book. Filmmaking is too simple a process for universities and professors, to make a mess of (and they do). I absolutely loved this book and would give this book as gifts to filmmakers, etc. This book is in leymans terms, telling the reader what they need to know straight out. No games, no guess work, no tests... Get this book!!!


4 out of 5 stars Great Book, a little long.   December 24, 2007
This is a great book. A little too long for my taste, but it covers all subjects in general in the filmmaking business. I will recommend it to anyone who wants to have a big picture of the hole filmmaking process.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent refrence book!   November 15, 2007

I recommend this book to anyone who doesn't read in a linear sequence. I tend to skip around in books to get the info I need and the way this book is formatted, it allows me to effeciently get the answers I want without any missed beats. Stoller effectively breaks down every aspect, from pre, principal photography, budget breakdown, contracting, scouting, editing, post to distribution and much more. For filmmakers, no matter what your budget or title(s), this book saves you money, time and a lot of guessing. Thank you Bryan Stoller!

Good overall reference for filmmaking, for the beginner. For the experienced, good reminder of the basics that one might have forgotten.
