Video Bible Reviews

This book is a keeper, a tiny jewel. Every sales and marketing manager of every small to mid sized company in the country should have a copy if they have even considered making a corporate video or local TV commercial.  This book tells you everything you wanted to know but didn’t know who to ask.
-- Don Angus, Editor, Canadian Society of Cinematography Magazine

An excellent book for anyone who wants to understand how a film shoot really works. Peppered with illuminating first-hand examples from Casson’s film and video making experiences, this book will save you a lot of time and money, and is a great read!
