Highly Technical. I gleaned a lot of information from this book. There is not a ligting, electrical connection that is not explained to my satisfaction. Take the time to read all then keep this book handy as a reference. Just showing that you have the book, proves that you know what you are talking about.
Must have Great book, lots of detail for any working Lighting tech, or aspiring tech. Great for a indi-film makers library.
A lot of Really Good Info. A MUST HAVE for the inside scoop into the Industry.
Great for beginners or review for experts If your planing a career in the motion picture or television business than this book will greatly advance your technical knowledge of the business. If your an old pro at the business the book is great for a quick reference to prepare you for a shoot.
A must have, for any D.O.P This wonderful book, covering all the major areas in lighting, in enough detail to give a solid grounding. w
While it may appear a little too technical for the absolute beginner, it does offer a solid base in knowledge for those with a little experiance wanting to expand their knowledge, and take away plenty of ideas with which they can put to trial on future set's.
If your looking to become a cinematographer; but feel there are gaps in your knowledge, get this book. I believe it to be a must have.
