Pocket Pal

I have the chance to be on set on occassion and take this book with me. I find behind-the-scene activity facinating and can keep up with the terminology without having to ask people as they work. Then if I do get to chat with the camera man, I am already up on the lingo.

Wanna be in TV?

Are you new to the industry? If so, this guide is an excellent resource. It can help you get through your first day on the job on a television set!

Outstanding resource book for students of film

I love this book. It is very clear that Tim has a great grasp of the film industry and his knowledge is transformed into what should be a standard text for all students of film.

Very easy to use reference book that had some good pics and some humor thrown in for good measure.

Must Have

This book is a must have for anyone starting out in film. The first time someone called in and said we were on "the window" I reached for the A-Z and found out what it meant. An excellent buy!
