Very good (1/1 people found this helpful)
Very good, very clear explanations. Focused and to the point, it covers many aspects of documentary filmmaking with a no-nonsense approach.
5 Star Rating by Empire Magazine (0/0 people found this helpful)
A superb addition to the 'how to' subsection of your library, Artis' tome is concise (and therefore easy to carry with you), while containing useful, accessible information on every aspect of documentary filmmaking, all with a doggedly hands-on attitude.
Who Needs Film School? (3/3 people found this helpful)
Written with the pace of a doorstepping docu, this incredibly readable book fires you through the basics to get out shooting 'down and dirty'. The more I work, the more I find this book is trustworthy and honest.
A million miles from downtown USA we make films in the depths of rural Wales, I'm new to the game and partner is a seasoned pro, guess the learning curve and how quickly I've had to make it! This book has kept me sane and kept me fired up, I'm loving filming and loving the results.
Film making's a tough business and rammed full of know-alls, hasbeens and never will be's, this book will keep you out of all three categories. It's all about practicality, not posturing, it's guerilla, get in, get the shot, get out. If you want to make good films, make the best of your kit and make a name for yourself, get this book, make it No.1 on your kit list.
