Customer Reviews: Read 10 more reviews... Highly Technical. June 7, 2008 Wilbur Lidzy (Guatemala Central America) 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 January 27, 2008 Matthew H.

Wherley (Gettysburg, PA) 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 May 14, 2007 S. Hussein (Leicester, Leicestershire United Kingdom) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful 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.
