This book covers the subject clearly, quickly and without too much technical jargon; it's stuffed with wonderful visual illustrations, exercises and is formatted quite well. It's (as is any book these days) a bit pricey, but worth every cent if you're serious about improving the quality of your work.

I got this book out of the library to read as a preparation for doing lighting on a low-budget movie I'm planning. Long story short, I devoured the book, then had to renew it so I could read it again and again. People with big expensive lights will love the clear use of big expensive lighting equipment. People who know nothing about lighting (like I did before I got this book) and have no money (like me) will love the low-budget chapter, and specifically the "spit and gaffer's tape" (author's words) list of equipment for those of us without deep pockets.

This is an amazing book. The guy is a true pro and explains everything you need to know to get takes that look professional on the first try. The book is really well written and organized. I blows by while you learn all the hows and whys of lighting video. I recomend this to anyone who feels that they are not at the professional level with lighting yet. It will change your life.
