Now excuse me sir, I have a QUALITY VIDEO to produce.Jan 08, 2018
Funny, smart and useful. This one belongs in all video and filmmaker’s libraries.Aug 02, 2013
I picked this book on a whim from the local library. My initial thought was I will read a chapter here and there. It didn't work that way. I read it cover to cover. There are good tips and insights in every chapter. If videography doesn't happen to be your "thing" you will still learn a lot from this book. You can translate much of what is in here to other artforms whether they be of a visual nature or a story telling nature. They are probably applicable to musical forms of expression too, but I picked this book on a whim from the local library. My initial thought was I will read a chapter here and there.

I like the simple exercises given in the book that I can practice, reinforcing specific instructions you just learned. You'll never shoot a boring thirty minute video from one stationary spot ever again. Great value for the amount of information you get, possibly even better than a college class. I'll be referring back to certain chapters. The only thing missing in this book is how to operate your personal camera. Super advice on how to take better videos.Dec 27, 2016
Great place to start if you haven't worked much with video or film. This covers all the basics of how to make interesting videos, and it delivers it in a fun, easily digestible format. If you already have experience in the business, though, you'll find this is basically just review.Jun 22, 2014
Loved this book. I have made some terribly boring movies in the past and bought this book to see if I could learn how to stop making snorers. Fantastic! The writing is concise and entertaining with lots of great examples. Very inspiring. If you are looking for technical details, don't buy this book. But if you want to find out what makes a video entertaining and emotion-grabbing, this is the book for you.Aug 18, 2011
Fantastic book with practical advice on shooting video, from the basics to more advanced techniques.Feb 24, 2014
Good practical information that has improved my video taking a lot. I look forward to practicing more of the techniques given in this book.Mar 23, 2014
I enjoyed this book. I gained insight and enjoyed his humor and writing style.Jul 03, 2014
This is a fantastic book for beginners, but even with a few years of filming and editing under my belt I gleaned alot of great insights. Steve keeps things in very basic terms but there is alot of valuable information here calling out to all videographers.May 30, 2013
Make shots brief. Focus on interesting characters. Have a purpose to the video. Use cuts, not fancy transitions. Focus on one person with a need, not many people. Start in the middle of the action instead of preamble plot. Keep the camera still. Use establishing shots to indicate location. Focus on people rather than scenery.Oct 28, 2013
This book saved me! I volunteered to do a video production workshop and quickly realized I was in over my head. But then I picked up this book from the library and was instantly in good hands. Even from the inside cover there were simple methods to improve your video. I read it from start to finish and it was really easy. I recommend this to anyone at all interested in shooting video.Aug 21, 2013
A decent-enough how-to book for those looking to get into video production, shooting, editing, and any other facet of creating video and media, although personally I felt it was a little basic and too straight-forward. If you're looking into more advanced or professional-level insight or tips then this probably is not the best read, but otherwise for beginners it's definitely a good start.Jul 06, 2016
Knew nothing about film production before picking this up, and now I feel much more confident talking about the subject. I enjoyed how casual the writing style was, and how it still managed to be informative. Really interesting read, even if you're not planning on becoming a director I would still suggest this!Mar 19, 2019
Amazing guide for videographer wDec 19, 2011
This was entertaining for a how-to book and got me interested in shooting personal video after I read it for a work. By following one of the exercises, my family created a few videos this holiday that truly did not suck. Until this Christmas, we have had few video memories. Thanks to tips from this book that actually work, we will be making many more, and I suspect participation will be more enthusiastic as the videos get better.Jan 23, 2018
To be honest, I was skeptical of this book at first. It was given to me as a Christmas gift. After reading it, though, I have to say that the content was helpful, to say the least.Jan 02, 2015
Video that Doesn’t Suck is really basic and perfect for its target audience. Most, if not all, of the stuff here was covered in my film classes, but Mum got it for me for Christmas and it was an easy read so I stuck with it. At first, Stockman’s tone felt almost condescending, but once I got used to it, he laid everything out simply and clearly and wrote familiarly. Even as someone who’s gone through a degree in this subject I felt encouraged and inspired by his simple explanations.

I've enjoyed reading this book. Set up like a list of advice, it is skim-able while taking away pertinent information. Ideas I've never thought of, things I've forgotten...it is a refresher course that includes advice good for both adults and kids and those who've never shot video before.Jul 06, 2011

Practical advice and fun to read!Aug 15, 2019
Essentially, it teaches everything an Intro to Production class should teach in an approachable manner. It doesn't go into detail with the technical bits like lenses, shutter speed, and editing software, but it does provide info on the basic idea of how to make a video that draws interest with lighting, angles, and pacing your edits. Even though I went to film school, I still found stuff in here that made buying and reading the book cover-to-cover worth it (Plus it's only, like, $11).Nov 03, 2017
I read this so that I can consider it for a textbook for a county video production class. While there was some repetition, there's also a lot of extremely valuable information in plain english that beginnings can benefit from immensely. As I was reading, I got a lot of ideas for creating some lesson plans to go along with this title. I found it to be a very practical guide!Jul 15, 2018
I read this book cover to cover... it’s excellent. The tips, helps and easy explanations have really helped me in shooting for my YouTube channel. I highly recommend this book. Steve... I’d love a Part 2!La Salle and the discovery of the great West. by. Francis Parkman (Original Version)
