I looked it up on amazon and they had the Dvd set and a book.The book might be easier to find.What about those Grande Illusion books are they any good?Thanks.

I have three books, one is which was posted the Shot by Shot book, its decent. I also have a book called $30 film school, that is the first one I read and it helped me out alot, it goes over everything you need to learn teaches you how to use the programs, gives you all of the forms you will need your actors to fill out. I also have a book called creative filmmaking I haven't looked at this one yet. I got all three of them from Barnes & Noble. I started going to film school and they was teaching me the same shit these books were so instead of paying the 75 grand for school I dropped.

I ordered that Shot By Shot book today,it was 40 bucks,hopefully it'll be good.

Good call. better to take the money you would have spent on school and simply make a movie with it.

mouth of madness focuses on lighting (he brought the lighting director to the commentary) so that was kind of unique

the kurt russell ones were great as well (the thing, escape, big trouble)
well, big trouble was amusing, but they didnt talk about the movie once ..


like RU said .. rodriguez gives a great commentary - and cooking lessons too !

Doesnt he have those on the Mariachi series DVDs, too?

Havent checked out any of the features yet, but I remember reading something about that when I bought the Mexico Trilogy boxset...

The book just came in the mail.I glanced through it and it's pretty good.Kind of hard to follow though He uses alot of huge words.

Get an electronic dictionary my friend, or dictionary.com to find out the meaning of them words.

Yeah,I think I will.I read the first chapter over again and it's starting to make more sense.

Also use highlights, study just like you were in school, know your shit !
