## Description

How to Shoot Video That Doesn't Suck: Advice to Make Any Amateur Look Like a Pro : Stockman, Steve: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Great - Well written direct and informative.
Review: Excellent no nonsense guide for film novices - This is an excellent, easy to read, non technical guide to getting it right when starting out making your own videos, whether for your own private consumption, YouTube or even corporate presentations. The author writes knowledgeably about filming technique using any type of camera, beit film industry pro gear or a smartphone. He deliberately avoids talking about cameras and related gear, so if that is what you are after choose another book. We all make mistakes and get things wrong when we start out, but, a quick read through this book by a leading professional in the film making world will make you think about your production in a professional way and help the budding film/video maker produce interesting watchable films. Highly recommended for the novice and a great reference for the more experienced. I keep my copy handy and dive back in regularly for advice and encouragement.
