5.0 out of 5 stars At Last!, 29 May 2006
As a keen amateur camcorder user with a passion for wildlife I've been looking for a book like this for years. It's answered many questions, given me loads of new ideas and all in friendly language I can understand. Various technical matters that were confusing me have been explained and I now have a much clearer idea how the professionals do it. I'm already getting better results from my camcorder and have ideas for movies queuing up in my head. I've realised how previously I was just pointing my camcorder at wildlife and recording - now I am making movies!
I've even found myself contemplating a career in this field.
Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get more out of their camcorder - especially if wanting to record wildlife/nature.

5.0 out of 5 stars You will be pleasently surprised, 24 Aug 2006
Not a large book, or what you would expect from Waterstones. The main point of this book is the knowledge that is inside, it is to the point, and it isn't needlessly fattened out with talk that is irrelevent.

This book is magic - straight to the point in ordinary english but by no means simple. It hits the nail on the head every time from equipment (on a budget or otherwise) to intelligent bushcraft. The writer speaks to YOU with passion about his trade and shares the secrets of getting that all important footage. I am a semi professional filmmaker dabbling in wildlife videography as a hobby at the mo and using the techniques within the book I got some great Kingfisher footage today - it was worth every single penny tenfold.

There is also lots of advice and resources if you wish to pursue a career in wild life filmmaking (check out his other book, it's interesting reading).

If you are interested in wildlife and own a camcorder, it will bring a new dimension to your hobby. If you are a pro, I'm sure it will jog the memory of a few techniques you have forgotten.

Go buy it - there is no other book out there like it, and for 12 quid what have you got to lose.
