Color photographs and illustrations, special notes, and tips are included throughout, and access to additional online resources, including checklists and cheat sheets, is provided."
Reference and Research Book News "This is not my first time learning from Artis. I have another one of his books on my shelf that helped guide me on a project I shot last year. It's the Shut Up And Shoot Documentary Guide. That book only focuses on what you need to know in order to shoot documentary films. There is a lot of crossover information between the books but not enough to make it not an essential addition to your book collection. These books together will give you everything you need to tackle any job that may come your way. In short... as a filmmaker you need these books. Go buy them now."
