Product Review
It’s not the equipment that makes a good movie; it’s what you do with it. Rick Schmidt shows filmmakers how to use these new tools to realize their visions. (John Lasseter, Pixar Animation Studios writer/director of
Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and
A Bug’s Life)
Book Description
For years, award-winning independent filmmaker Rick Schmidt has been teaching aspiring writers, directors, and producers how to make “no-budget” films, both in workshops and in his classic guide,
Feature Filmmaking at Used-Car Prices. Now Schmidt shows how it is easier—and cheaper—than ever to make an innovative, high quality work, thanks to digital video. Filled with the latest information on equipment and software, ideas for experimenting with new techniques, and advice based on Schmidt’s own experiences,
Extreme DV at Used-Car Prices offers a step-by-step tour through the making of a feature- length movie using the newest and ever-changing DV technology. Instructive and inspiring, this one-of-a-kind book is essential for filmmakers with lots of ideas but little money.
Reader Reviews
I read and re-read Rick Schmidt's earlier "Feature Filmmaking at Used Car Prices" book, and it always gave me a charge and inspiration when I needed it. His new book is cut from the same cloth, with 21st-Century technologies grafted to big ideas. Great for the aspiring filmmaker who just needs to know that all things are possible.
