Sundance Wilson said Quick!!. This book was started and finished in one day. A very easy read full of good information on a lot of film career types. I was disappointed in the book, however, because I was hoping (as per the review) for a basic pay scale on each job, but only a couple even mentioned it. It was slightly upsetting, but was an okay worth while read.. Amazing reference AND a great read This book is a wonderful guide to all the different jobs there are on a film set. When I moved out to LA to get work in the movies, I didn't know where to start. I picked up a lot of books and this one was the best. It is concise, easy to read and has every job you can think of, as well as how to go about getting it. Highly recommended!!!. Helps explain all those exotic filmworld terms like best boy, gaffer, and grip This book was fun to read. Written in an upbeat fashion primarily for young people contemplating working in the movie industry in production-related jobs, the book describes these jobs in a direct and breezy way, taking care to define the terms I noted in the title of this review (and many others). So the book also can be interesting to anyone who has a general interest in movies, movie making, and the movie business.I was especially impressed about the job descriptions in the "special effects" area because the techniques themselves are also described, adding to my knowledge of them.
