The knowledge contained in this book is impeccable. Finally, I can assume weight behind my pretentious on-set attitude. No longer will camera assistants riddcule me in-front of the producer, causing me to be downgraded to a lousy position amongst the PAs. Who needs assistants anyway, right? This book basically makes you a God of cinematography. Screw the camera department, I am the camera department! I am immortal!!

Good!!!! very good
