    you will glean a diverse range of stylistic and technical insights from this book
  

*by S***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 19, 2014*

What a delight! I am overjoyed to have discovered that the Shut Up and Shoot Freelance Video Guide is vastly different than (and equally riveting as) the Shut Up and Shoot Documentary Guide. Although there are occasional parallels, the Shut Up and Shoot Freelance Video Guide offers unique material pertaining to any repeated topic.  For instance, the lighting set-up diagrams are revisited, but with new structures not previously outlined in the Documentary Guide.Artis's book starts by covering a wide spectrum of illustrations, including digital file charts (p. 27), camera guides (with relatively current models listed) (pp. 7-19), gain range charts complete with illustrative photos (pp. 33-34), peaking diagrams (p. 39), focal length diagrams and illustrations (pp. 46-47), and much more.  Artis' even dedicates discussion on green screening techniques (with additional coverage on chromate green screening).Later in the book, Artis dedicates an entire chapter to audio, covering various microphones, boom operation, wireless microphones, mixers, and the digital audio sweet spot.  He even diagrams different audio set-ups dependent on (1)  one or more types of mics available for the shoot and (2) the number of subjects (people) in the take.The highlights of the book were threefold for me: first, the book focused chapter by chapter on various freelance projects, including promotional/marketing videos, wedding videography, live event videography, and music videos.  These discussions oftentimes came with any of the following: example outlines, example script formats, illustrative storyboards, lighting and audio tips, project details, detailed budgets, and numerous other tools and tips.The second major highlight was the emphasis on stylistic tips, such as how to collect and incorporate b-roll, how to utilize multiple camera angles, how to manage text, how to sync color, how to create lens flares, how to maximize translucent backgrounds (such as curtains and glass), and how to acquire many other wonderful stylistic elements such as the famous Dutch angle, frame-in-a-frame technique, and numerous others.The third key feature of the book for me was the chapter by Benjamin Ahr Harrison called Music Videos that laid out the process for making music videos in a very structured, well developed manner.  His approach includes excellent location-based outlines, example shotlists, schedules, syncing tips, and compositing tips, as well as thoughtful examples of how to break down the music into its basic structure.This book has ample production value, indeed, and Artis succeeds remarkably in producing yet another entertaining, aesthetic--and completely unique product!  Equally enjoyable are his Lynda.com videos that can be accessed through a month-to-month subscription.  In these video tutorials, he covers a range of material from lighting to camera and audio management to documentary shoots.  He also has the Shut Up and Shoot DVD series, which are next on my list of Artis's superior and highly professional products.  I assure that you will glean a diverse range of stylistic and technical insights from this book.

    Real-world content, enjoyable read
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 16, 2012*

If you're a no-nothing with a new cam and want to avoid foisting MEGO-inducing home movies of your ballerina grand-daughter on your neighbors, this book contains the advice you need. Today's cams have built-in technology to compensate for our lack of technical knowledge about which lens to use, what level of white point to specify, and so on. But the best cam can't salvage a boring video. This book informs you about what people want to see, and what they want to avoid. Your best friend can't impart such advice without hurting your feelings. All the more reason to invest in the counsel of a straight-talking, knowledgeable stranger. Especially when his writing style is engaging.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    good info for new shooters
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 12, 2013*

This is a good book for people getting into video. Anthony presents solid information in a clear style that's easy to grasp and applicable to many situations. Many references to video gear are dated, the bulk of the information is still valid, and make this book worth reading. Note that the book covers a lot of ground, and is more of an "introduction" to different aspects of video production. That said, Anthony does a good job of walking you through common situations that you will likely encounter. If you choose to specialize in a specific area (audio, lighting, directing, etc.), you will want to look further for more specific information. Regardless, this is a good reference for anyone getting into video production. Also, check out Anthony's book on documentary video.
