Great. Jun 16, 2010
This lighting book is amazing. It offers exactly what you need if you are trying Robert Rodriquez's 10-minute film school approach. Blain Brown's Lighting book explains proper techniques and terminology which the film industry relies heavily on. He also has a Cinematography book that offers great insight into framing and awesome methods of camerawork. I have paired this book up with Steven Katz's book Shot by Shot.

Great book on the creative technique of lighting for video and film Apr 11, 2010
This is a fantastic book the talks about the history of lighting but also provides practical and creative lighting techniques. The book also comes with a DVD that allows you to see parts of the finished video and film productions that are discussed in the book.

Fantastic Resource Jan 22, 2010
This is a fantastic book. As someone who has shot a limited amount of both film and video, I wanted to learn more specifics about lighting, exposure theory, color theory, and so on. Brown's book is PACKED with highly useful, very practical information, and comes at a much better price than some competing books which are not nearly as good. Plus, it includes a DVD with lighting demonstrations, technical tests, and short scenes illustrating the lighting principles covered in the book. Also, I really like the section of Brown's book that lists all the major types of lights used on professional shoots (from Fresnels and HMIs to PARs, Dino's, MaxiBrutes, FAYs, Soft Lights, Space Lights, fluorescents, and so on). Yes, Brown's book is a bit more technical than some, but he also covers the basics very well.

Must read for amateurs and professionals alike Sep 12, 2009
Very comprehensive coverage - initial chapter on the history of lighting may not interest many, though it is necessary to have an understanding of how lighting evolved. As the book progresses into subsequent chapters there are pearls of wisdom that capture the author's life experience in this profession.

Very Thorough! Aug 12, 2009
I don't read a lot of books, but this one is definitely worth the time. It's extremely detailed and in-depth. If you're a beginner, this book will give you the complete knowledge you're looking for without going over your head. If you're a seasoned pro, you'll find this helpful as a reference, or to fill in the gaps of things you might have missed.

At any rate, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
