    A Joy To Read, Saves You From Unnecessary Pain
  

*by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2022*

I've been shooting films for about a decade, mostly as a solo shooter, but wanted to look at hiring crews, and taking things to the next level.The Shut Up and Shoot: Documentary Guide:The book is incredibly approachable to read. At first, I found the tryhard nerd from baltimore writing style a little outdated (maybe it's coz am like that too, lol), but it didn't get in the way. You can tell Mr. Artis really does give a damn and cares if you learned something from this book, and that's worth it's weight in gold.As the 2nd edition is still, in 2022, fairly old, a lot of the technical information regarding, specifically cameras, is a bit outdated. (Mr. Artis himself mentions that camera tech leaps ahead every 3 yrs).BUT, the fundamentals are always important and they are covered well enough for a totally new beginner to read and then immediately start shooting.And I think where the book really shines is in its comprehensiveness. Mr. Artis has really accomplished something impressive, preparing filmmakers to get thru every phase of production, preprod, where to spend the money/what to do if you have no money, shooting, postprod.What also stood out were his little human-element details (the importance of feeding the crew, safety, trying to maintain perspective, helping subjects give you the best interview, etc). This real world experience and consideration in the era of random Youtube Tutorials, is frankly, sorely needed.Mr. Artis' unique mix of no-budget practicality and professional knowledge and experience, presented in a clear, fun to read style (even has illustrations of fundamental concepts), is a practical, rewarding read. Very helpful. 10/10.

    Funny and Very Helpful
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2017*

Dude knows what's he's talking about. I'm a journalism student, and what Artis writes is basically what my professors have been trying to teach me for the past two years. Also the quirky dad-jokes are on point.Artis takes potentially dry or confusing content and turns it into something even *I* can understand, as well as offering up his own suggestions on equipment and techniques. The prose is succinct and funny, the illustrations helpful if a little sloppy (lighting for pictures used can be a little dark) but there are illustrated how-tos for EVERYTHING. The chapters are logically organized and it's easy to find the section you're looking for. Paper is high quality, and highlighter doesn't bleed through. Drawbacks are that sometimes the graphics are a bit much- though that might be a plus for some people, and if you prefer a purist or serious POV in instructional material this probably isn't for you. All in all, probably the only textbook I'll keep after this semester. From this millennial: 9/10

    Almost five...
  

*by B***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2015*

This is a well-written guide, and easily accessible for the beginner. It is very comprehensive and definitely worth having on the shelf. Mr. Artis, whose videos on lynda.com I highly recommend, is a lucid writer who avoids jargon and presents very practical advice, not just from his wealth of experience but from people who have made noteworthy documentaries.There is, however, what seems to be a somewhat misleading claim on the front cover - "Any Budget. Any Camera. Any Time." Under the section, "What to Look for in a Camera" (p. 40) Mr. Artis specifically recommends "for serious video shooting" a camera that is equipped with manual controls and XLR inputs for audio. He states, "I think these are the minimum bar to entry." I've got no problem with his recommendation - I really appreciate his strong emphasis on the importance of audio; it just isn't "Any Budget. Any Camera."That aside, I really enjoyed reading it - it is packed with gems of wisdom.
