5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING! EVERY FILM MAKER SHOULD HAVE ONE, 20 May 2004

By	"christoff133" - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book gets your movie made!, 7 Mar 2006

By	"liesbeth812" - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars STAGGERING -, 6 Mar 2006

By A Customer

I bought this book because there was stuff I knew I didn't know. What shocked me was the mountain of stuff I didn't know, I didn't know. I consumed this book in a weekend. I have made three short films so really thought I knew my stuff. Boy oh boy!

Ignore the comments from the person below. The whole point of this book is to move past messing around with your camcorder with your mates, and into the real world of film making, with real actors, scripts and a real understanding of the journey from concept, to shoot, to premiere, to sales, and beyond. It covers everything and in some considerable depth. What makes this a stand out piece of work is the ease with which Mr Jones gets over extremely complicated concepts. And as far as I know, Mr Jones has made three indie features, one for under �10k! I suggest that does allow him to be considered a guerilla film maker!

The other thing thats great about it is the way you get to 'feel' what its like. This is not a classroom concept book, this is a real world experience. Another aspect is the sheer depth. How each department is run, who runs it, how long it takes, how much it costs, what you can get away with, what you cannot etc.

As for the reviewers (below) comments on Avid and Film etc., the book is completely Pro Choice and goes a great distance to stress this, but the essence of it is 'Best Practice', not cheapest, not personal favourite editing platform, not fastest etc., but BEST PRACTICE for someone with little or no money to bring a profesional movie to the marketplace and launch their carreer.

Buy it. I promis you that you won't be disappointed.
