Excellent quick reference!

The book is divided into 70+ short articles which makes it very easy to read. One can quickly jump to a subject of his interest.. ranging from pre-production, lighting and sound, camera and directing techniques, desktop editing, etc. A lot of valuable tips and tricks provided. There is a "sidebar" section in most every article where some real-life examples are given. In terms of post-production, it is suitable for people using Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro.
