 Simple, technical, to the point. Jun 13, 2001
By Pablo V Yagupsky
The strengths of this book, in my opinion, is the well rounded coverage of technical issues regarding film production. This is not one of those guides which convinces you that it can squeeze scriptwriting, production, casting, postproduction, distribution, and even film appreciation (by giving you a "favorite films" list at the end of the book). This book deals almost completely with technical terms and techniques, which is probably the only issue in filmmaking that can be sufficiently covered in one book. Ofcourse, you will need on hand training, but you can always get your hands on a good old 16mm soviet camera for around $150 or a super8 camera for next to nothing (I did). This books only faults: It's a bit old (1972) and visually it's a bit dull (though there are plenty of b&W pictures and charts). I enjoyed Lipton's rather intimate writing: it feels a lot more like an literal explaination than a textbook.

 A technical guide to film making Apr 08, 2000
As a film student, this book is a useful guide in the art of film making. Whilst the information it presents is accurate and generally quite accurate, I found the format of the book to be particularly hard to follow. It is extremely technical and whilst it explains all the terminology it presents, it still leaves the reader feeling somewhat bedazzled by what is essentially an information overload. It is useful, but not interesting, which makes it a little more difficult to learn from and is far too technical too understand without some prior knowledge. This book will give you the technical skills to make films (albeit not the first time you read it), but if you are wanting more of a guide to becoming an independent film maker, I would highly recommend a great text by Greg Merritt called 'Film Production : The Complete Uncensored Guide to Independent Filmmaking'.

Excellent introductin to technical aspects of filmmaking Mar 03, 2009
By Yoda
This book provides a short chapter (about 40 pages on the average) of all the technical major aspects of filmmaking (using film, not video). Chapter include every aspect of filmmaking and are more geared to technical issues than "artistic". Chapters are well written, succinct and informative. Excellent introduction for beginers to the art of filmmaking.
