Download Your Copy Power Filmmaking Kit Constructed By Jason Tomaric Supplied As Digital Copy
an aspiring filmmaker who never had the opportunity to go to film school, I own a library of books covering every stage of the film making process, "The Power Filmmaking Kit" crushes them all, This book covers everything and it will inspire you to quit dreaming and go make a feature flick.
This book focuses on how to produce a low budget film, that will hopefully get noticed, leading to a slightly hire budget film which leads to an even expensive film.
It offers several pieces of good advice such as don't write a script with thancharacters, and make sure to get release forms from everyone on camera I've been to shots where this didn't happen.
What the book doesn't do is offer advice for folks like me who have a nice DSLR camera and the skills to use it, but don't know how to block scenes.
The book seems to assume you've got several years of training/trial and error under your belt, and know how to do the basics like light the scene correctly, and setup mics and editing software.
If you haven't been to film school, this book will seem obvious, It starts with writing, or buying a script, then proceeds to pre production, filming, and post production.
It doesn't give details of the best way to find/vet actors or crew, just assumes you know that.
I'm still shooting video shorts with my friends, and wanted tips on how save money and time.
Excellent! To me, the most impressive thing about this book is the fact author Tomaric backs up what he says in the book by including a DVD of a feature length film he made for a mere.
While the film, "Time and Again," is not going to win any Oscars and may never appear on The Movie Channel, it's a pretty decent effort.
Its production values are amazing when you consider the micro budget and they'd be impressive even if Tomaric had never told us how little he spent.
The movie has a nice Twilight Zoney feel to it, the performances are competent and earnest, and there's evidence in every shot that the director and his crew were not going to let the limited budget stifle their efforts to achieve quality.
The DVD also comes with segments demonstrating many of the Power Filmmaking Kit's principles and how they were applied in the making of Time and Again.
A lot of valuable insight is provided into the planning and human relations aspects of helming a film project.
These issues are of critical importance in holding a team of talented people enthusiastic about your project even when they're not getting much, if any, financial compensation for being a part of it.
The book itself is straightforward and chuck full of practical information, Some of it is technical, but none of it is hard to understand, Parts of the technical stuff are getting a little creaky, because the book was published in.
For example, the author seems to lean toward film over digital in some respects, but digital has made such strides even in the last couple of years, in terms of both quality and public acceptance, that the issue of whether digital or film is "better" seems, in my opinion, to be a little archaic.
Digital is now where it's at, But, anyway, the book gives a pretty good discussion of digital equipment and techniques and I'd say that discussion is stillrelevant in.
I highly recommend this book, Thank you! Has lots of great information, But needs information on how to accomplish good quality footage with consumer grade products, Unfortunately it appears only the Americans can produce an excellent guide as this at the price.
Contains shedloads of valuable info, This book has basically everything an aspiring no budget filmmaker needs to be able to start producing films.
There are chapters covering everything from writing a script to post production, Each chapter has enough information that you could walk onto a set and have enough knowledge to get the job done or at least talk to those doing the job without sounding like an idiot.
Sure, there are books that go into detail about one aspect or another, but none are as complete as this.
The bonus DVD, which includes the film that was produced as the basis for writing this book, some production related documents, and raw footage to practice with, is another thing that sets this apart from most filmmaking books.
If you can only buy one book to get your feet wet in independent filmmaking, then this is the book to buy.
