5.0 out of 5 stars A useful guide to making 'Reality Videos' ., 7 Feb 1997

By A Customer

If you had an experienced friend to guide you into the world of making documentary films and videos, then you would feel as comfortable in your journey as the author of this book leaves the reader. As the book cover states, Mr. Hampe will "tell you why making a documentary looks easy but isn't. [He] traces the two main approaches to documentary--recording behaviour and re-creating past events--and shows you how to be sucessful at each." These are the course notes of a good teacher who imparts his wisdom as well as practical guidance. His writing style is 'chatty' and friendly without ever being banal. Also, in what I hope becomes a publishing trend, he gives an Internet e-mail address where readers may send their comments (viz., WriteHampe@aol.com). -HMB

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, 9 April 2007

By	D. O'Sullivan (London UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really feel that someone has to point out how poor this book is. Firstly its HOPELESSLY out of date. There is hardly any coverage of modern video techniques, let alone equipment. The book it self is very dense. I'm not some thicky who needs all my books to have pictures but I really strongly feel that it is not appropriate to write book about such a visual medium with out any illustrative images whatsoever.

The only reason I give this book two stars rather than one is because it is clear that Barry Hempe is talking with wisdom and experience and if you have maybe read every other book out there and are just looking for a curio this book may have some value. Apart from that I seriously recommend looking somewhere else for a more practical up-to-date guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read, 21 Feb 2007

By	Le Gibe "LeGibeMedia" (Berkshire, UK) - See all my reviews

Summary: an excellent book which explains the complete process for making a documentary

I found this book on amazon, it sounded good so I bought it. I am glad I did, the book is a complete step by step recipe to making a documentary, listing what to do and what to avoid. I will certainly use it as a reference.

The first few chapters were my favourites, where Barry Hampe talks about documentaries from a more intellectual perspective. His explanations about reality and truth are fascinating. Comments of that level are also scattered over the following chapters.

I now feel equipped to start to plan my next production and particularly I will know how to plan it.
