Lots of excellent information on procedures and a great database for everything you need to know as an AC. I purchased this as a gift for our camera dept PA who aspires to become an AC. My Assistant was taught by Mr. Elkins in school and agrees that this book is an excellent resource for anyone in the camera department.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. If youre just getting started its a good read; otherwise it contains a lot of repeat ...By nkorosecThis book is aimed squarely at beginners and people looking to break into the film industry. Ive been working in the camera department for a few years already and picked this up to see if there were any tidbits of knowledge that I hadnt previously heard. Mostly everything in the book is aimed at shooting on film (a dying format unfortunately) and doesnt offer much in the way of shooting digital. I think there should be an update or another version of this book that dives deeper into the digital filmmaking world. If youre just getting started its a good read; otherwise it contains a lot of repeat or already learned information.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Appreciation for the effort.By jesse butelThis book is amazing for a newbie in Film like myself. Im always trying to find a way into the film business as part of the camera dept; I have a lot of experience in Live TV Sporting Events in what is the video dept (camera set up tech set up). This book help me understand the conversion from TV to Film. One day I will meet David on a set somewhere and thank him with my appreciation rather then just my money for what he has done.
