AMAZING! EVERY FILM MAKER SHOULD HAVE ONE,
This review is from: Guerilla Film Makers Movie Blueprint (Paperback)
I bought the Guerilla Film Makers Handbook two years ago and found it an amazing resource. When I heard Chris Jones had written another book, The Guerilla Film Makers Movie Blueprint, I wasn't sure how the GFMH could be improved. But by god he has done it! The Movie Blueprint is just that, a blueprint of exactly what to do, when, where and how much its going to cost you. It's not a sequel to the original GFMH, in fact it's radically different and is actually thirty blueprints, covering everything from camera and casting, through catering and sales and distribution. While it's MASSIVELY detailed, it's also easy to read, partly because Jones writes with such enthusiasm, but also because he has an ability to make complex concepts appear clear and simple. There are loads of diagrams and picture too, making it a pleasurable feast for the eyes. Best of all, and unlike any other book I have ever read, it takes you on the journey of a film maker, holding your hand as you jump through all the required hoops, AND giving you a sense of how you will feel when you do it. I read it cover to cover in three days and now dip in and out on a daily basis. I can't recommend this enough!

This book gets your movie made!,
This review is from: Guerilla Film Makers Movie Blueprint (Paperback)
And I mean this literally: I produced my first film, a full-length feature, in the US with the help of the Blueprint which never left my or the director’s side. The book covers all any aspiring filmmaker needs to know to go out there and do it themselves. It prepares you for the traps and minefields that lurk at every level. I could never thank the Living Spirit crowd enough for this "Film school made simple". I for one have a great film to show for it. (You can take a look for yourself at www.blue-whaleproductions.com). This is truly an indispensable handbook!

Excellent,

This review is from: Guerilla Film Makers Movie Blueprint (Paperback)
I was exceptionally impressed with the author's style of writing which was jargon-free and, more importantly, without ego. Having read other material on the same subject, I have been disappointed and irritated by most authors' cynicism and frequent disdain for the new film maker. Aware as I am of the egomaniacal nature of the industry, Chris Jones's book was a breath of fresh air over and above its very practical nature. He achieves precisely what he should, a rare authoring skill.
The user-friendly yet detailed overview of the film maker's objectives and challenges is incredibly helpful. Coupled with a good sense of humour that doesn't undermine the subject to hand, I would strongly recommend this book for all industry new entrants who are serious about film making.
