DESCRIPTION:
Good info but a bit heady Amazon Customer I am less than an amateur so my opinion should be taken with a large dose of salt. That said, this book received such high praise that I figured I could learn a ton from it. There is definitely a lot of information in it but more than half of it is VERY technical. I am talking about a whole host of things that go FAR beyond types of lights, placement, gels and so forth. There is simply too much info that I do not need as a beginner videographer - a whole bunch that I won’t even need down the road as far as I can . "Decent lighting book" according to Dennis Nomer. Fairly decent coverage of lighting devices, only a little out of date. This book focuses on lighting with big crews, and does not get much into the techniques of smaller crews. The significant coverage of film issues instead of modern cameras is dated. Some of the coverage of log curves in film would be better applied to digital representations, for example, for today's world. The book, in general, is a little too 'professorial' in my view for typical lighting people. Nevertheless, a lot of important issues are discuss. The guide on lighting for film and video Z. Mehrbach I teach film and video at the college level, and whenever a student wants a book recommended as a general learn lighting book I recommend this.1. This comes with a great DVD that shows visually the difference between many types of hard and soft light as well as numerous light placements and types of bounce. A lot of people who get into film are visual learners, and this DVD is awesome for those of us who like to look at something for results based on how the lighting is set up.2. I love that Blaine gives such a detaile
