This was one of the most pretentious books I've ever read. Seriously. What I expected to be a guide to DV film making was really just an excuse for the author to push his own personal aesthetic, and I learned virtually nothing about the nuts and bolts of film making at all. If I wanted to know how to shoot Dogme 95 like a pretentious art-house irritant, I would buy a book on THAT rather than having to skip over an entire chapter of useless information. Plus for some reason he seems to assume ... Read More

Yes, this book has made it to my reference desk - if only to keep me reminded of my intention to LOOK like a Hollywood production without costing like one.
There are some really useful suggestions and references - some which are now dated due to the age of the book. However I found it an easy read and a good start for anyone looking to get into film production using your camcorder.

This is a great book for any aspiring filmmaker. A lot of people talk about making movies... Schmidt shows you how to ACTUALLY get out and do it.

Rick Schmidt tells you how to make a feature length movie with little or no cash.
Just grab a camcorder, round up some friends, and make the damn thing.
If it sucks... ... Read More

Making movies is one of my hobbies. I was excited when I recieved this book as a gift, but was immediately turned off within the first couple of pages. Schmidt does some serious Hollywood bashing. Yes, some of Hollywood's movies are crappy, but it is unfair to say that all good films are indie films. This was the idea the book gave me. Then he goes on to bash O. Henry and Spielberg and his movie Shindler's List. No one does that. Ever. He is a great film maker. This is the finishing move: Schmidt goes ... Read More

This book is hopelessly outdated (as are my own), so I can't rate it any higher; but at least this guy is sincere. Some of the other reviewers act as if they expected the keys to the kingdom for under 20 bucks. And L Roc from Chi-town certainly got up on the wrong side of the crab dolly, except, of course, for hyping another book. In an age when you can buy your own production and editing equipment for under $10K, you don't need the strategies in this book or any other--save your money for tape stock- ... Read More
