The Shut Up and Shoot Documentary Guide: A Down & Dirty DV Production by Anthony Q. Artis

This is by far my most recommended product. The Shut Up and Shoot Documentary Guide is a limitless resource you’ll go to again and again. Here’s just a small sampling of what’s inside the book:

• Choosing a camera
• Interview skills and techniques
• Pre and post production
• Audio techniques
• Street shooting
• Interview lighting

“The book is a very easy, straightforward read with plenty of graphics to demonstrate proper and improper techniques.It is also extremely user friendly in its layout.. [It] will be helpful to you for many, many years to come.” – Microfilmmaker Magazine
