## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book on lighting a movie I have come across!
*by A***E on 7 March 2018*

Full colour all the way through - the way nature intended! And the illustrations are very good.This is an excellent book. Read, learn and inwardly digest every inch of this book and then go on set and hopefully watch how what you have learnt from this book is put into practice!Unlike most books on making movies, Landau actually has walked the walk and knows precisely and exactly what he is talking about. He opens the student's eyes to the various 'tricks-of-the-trade' needed to get that perfect 'Hollywood-Look' or that 'Dutch-Masters-Look' or to build tension through a 'Film Noir' atmosphere.If a student actually gets to go on-set with one of the greats, he will be exposed to some, but not all, the techniques and artistry described in this book. The same is true for college courses and the like. The fact that Landau covers it all, means that the student really gets to taste and read about all the various ways of lighting a movie, a sitcom, or a two-reeler short.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing!
*by L***B on 21 July 2021*

Amazing book! Detailed, academic, inspiring. Few lighthearted comments make it a smoother read, but academic integrity certainly persistent throughout.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by B***N on 16 October 2015*

Hands down the best book about the practicalities of lighting for motion picture. Excellent book
