These guys dont
seem to have missed a thing when it comes to how to make a digital movie
for peanuts. Its a helpful and funny guide for beginners and professionals
alike. If you are at
all interested in making a film of your own, this book is where it's at.
If you are not interested in making a film of your own, read it purely
for the no-nonsense, straight-shooting fun of finding out how guys like
Gaspard, Newton and me waste valuable time that might be better spent
on food, drink or sex. It's all about passion, man. I'll kick over food,
drink and sex any day if it means making a movie. Fine book, clear,
precise and infinitely practical. Read it and go make a movie. Gaspard
and Newton tell you how to do it from A-Z. The only thing they leave out
is the blood, sweat and upon occasion tears of joy--that's where you come
in. This terrific
little book explains how to make every penny count on the often arduous
journey from script to screen. Whether your budget
is in the millions, the thousands, or pocket change, the lessons in this
book will help you get your cinematic vision on-screen. It's like a film
school education between two covers. Almost everything
I had to learn the hard way can be found in this book. Save yourself the
heartache and read it before you make your first film. |
