This volume provides a history of the most consequential 35mm motion picture camera introduced in North America in the quarter century following the Second World War: the Arriflex 35. It traces the North American history of this camera from 1945 through 1972--when the first lightweight; self-blimped 35mm cameras became available. Chronicle of a Camera emphasizes theatrical film production; documenting the Arriflexs increasingly important role in expanding the range of production choices; styles; and even content of American motion pictures in this period. The books exploration culminates most strikingly in examples found in feature films dating from the 1960s and early 1970s; including a number of films associated with what came to be known as the "Hollywood New Wave." The author shows that the Arriflex prompted important innovation in three key areas: it greatly facilitated and encouraged location shooting; it gave cinematographers new options for intensifying visual style and content; and it stimulated low-budget and independent production. Films in which the Arriflex played an absolutely central role include Bullitt; The French Connection; and; most significantly; Easy Rider. Using an Arriflex for car-mounted shots; hand-held shots; and zoom-lens shots led to greater cinematic realism and personal expression.

Good but needs some updatingBy ogdenIts a good book; but there are some things I think need to be reworked.There are real-world examples that are kinda hokey.There are lots of ethical "what would you do" examples with no follow up about whether or not such an example is an ethics violation or not. With relating the examples to codes of ethics; these examples are pointless.There seem to be some factual errors too. For example; the author states that if a designer witnesses work on a job site that is not in conformance with drawings they should intervene and stop work. HELLO! Contract law clearly states a designer should NEVER intervene. They should instead inform the contractor and the client of such inconsistencies and NOT recommend a remedy. It is up to the contractor to decide the appropriate remedy and the client to determine the appropriate contract action to take.And some things seem outdated. In the chapter on preparing marketing presentations; the author states that women "MAY" be permitted to wear trousers to a presentation depending on the firm they work for. Is this 1960? Forcing women to wear skirts violates employment law and the author should know this.Overall its a useful book; but I wouldnt call it great.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great Book for Learning the "Business" side of Interior DesignBy Sunny SkiesHi Stubborn Rock;This book states is a professional practice book for designers and interior design students. The contents cover what a designer needs to know to open and run a design business. It covers contracts; fuduciary relationships; pricing; billing; various stages of the design process and more. It is not a book on designing spaces.The information is organized in a logical sequence and includes examples of forms and other documents to use in an interior design business. I have found this book extremely useful in my interior design studies.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
