Midwest Book Review
The Camera Assistant's Manual is essential reading for the beginner and for the experienced camera assistant alike. For the beginner, it contains complete descriptions of all aspects of the jobs of first and second assistant cameraman, as well as a new chapter on the basics of cinematography. For the experienced camera assistant, it continues to be a complete reference source dealing with all aspects of the job. The material has been organized in a way that should make it very easy to find specific information. This extensively updated edition contains information that should make it quite easy for the beginning filmmaker to start his or her career because it features new sections covering the basics of cinematography, the job interview, set etiquette and networking, camera and magazine illustrations by 16mm and 35mm camera systems, complete checklists for camera equipment (including filters and expendables), tables covering f-stop compensations, hyperfocal distances, and footage-to-time and time-to-footage conversations. The Camera Assistant's Manual is comprehensive, practical, informative, well-organized, and the most valuable book an assistant camera operator could have on his or her reference bookshelf.
