Admittedly, I've never seen them myself. Ordered them off Amazon. But previewing them in Amazon -- with all those thumbnails, etc -- I thought of Hokahey's film club and figured that either he'd pick up on some good tips to impart to his students or that he could leave the book in his classroom and let them pick up tips for themselves. Man, when I was a kid if I could have had a video camera and a book about shooting a movie, I'd have been in heaven. Instead I started writing about movies instead of making them -- so it wasn't a total loss.<br /><br />Anyway, one of the other books was from the same production series as the <em>Film Editing</em> book you pictured: <em>Cinematic Storytelling</em>, I think.<br /><br />But back to your class ...<br /><br />* "I should give extra credit for fancy film allusions..." Indeed, you should!<br /><br />* I love the resourcefulness of your class to fashion boom mics and the like. I've long remembered a moment from an episode of <em>Doogie Howser, MD</em>, when Doogie's friend is shooting a movie and they create a tracking effect by putting the cameraman in a wheelbarrow and wheeling him around.

It's really clear and simple, and I like it a lot. I wish my Film Club members would take the time to really look at books like this. I was thinking of doing a PowerPoint for them using screen captures and the same sort of approach.
