There is a lot of good background information in this book, and the accompanying video DVD provides excellent examples of the technical lessons in the text. The text includes deep technical details about many things (mostly related to film, including still photography). The only criticism I have about the book is that it may be mis-titled in the respect that much of the technical discussion in this book is specifically about still photography and film, some of it applicable in many ways to motion picture film, and some of it explicitly specific to still photography. My guess is that the author’s background is mostly in film, including still portrait photography, rather than video, as the book has a very strong bias toward film and relatively less detail applicable to video.

Very comprehensive coverage - initial chapter on the history of lighting may not interest many, though it is necessary to have an understanding of how lighting evolved. As the book progresses into subsequent chapters there are pearls of wisdom that capture the author’s life experience in this profession.

Book covers all the elements in lighting. I found myself ready to skip a few chapters, electricity for example, but read through the chapters. Glad I did, I learned something new in every single chapter. So don’t skip a page, no matter how skilled you may believe you are.
I did wish I had a little more detail or examples on creating and shaping light as another review suggested, or at least on the DVD. Either way, this book is a must for every anyone serious about putting out a quality video production.
Some of the images and info direction was a little clumsy, but you will figure it out as you continue to read through.
Well worth the value. I just began reading Blain Brown’s other book “Cinematography” and also loving it.
