From Author
21 Oct 2008
Caleb here, the author. I just wanted to comment that the book is in print and I'm working on getting Amazon to update their records. In the meantime it is available as a downloadable PDF and printed pocket book, with a free basics version, at: http://www.noendpress.com/caleb/edtech/index.php

Must-Read for the Aspiring Film Professional
11 Nov 2008
I work as a Production Manager, Coordinator, and Assistant Director and also teach an intro production class to undergraduate film students at a state university. This book is by far the best introduction I have encountered to starting out as a production assistant. From the basics of set etiquette to tools of the trade, from terminology to tips for getting your first job, this book could save thousands of future production assistants the sometimes embarrassing hard lessons most of us had to learn by screwing up publicly.

Good To Know
28 April 2009
Well I come from not knowing anything about the movie-making business, and this book seems very useful to me, with the author sharing real-life experience stuff. Nothing textbook about it. It's an easy, entertaining read, and filled with great tips like set lingo definitions, lists of things you should carry, set etiquette, and most importantly all the what-not-to-do's. Good advice in there for getting a job too. Glad I bought it.
