This book is well narrated and written with humor. It is easy reading for anyone, amateur or expert, interested in digital filmmaking. Chuck Gloman is a real pro who keeps the interest of the reader and the subject flowing simultaneously.

Chuck's book is great for both the novice and experienced filmmaker. It is easy to understand and the layout of the book is helpful for easy reference. I especially appreciated the real-life scenarios discussed in the book, and was pleased that the focus of the book was on no-budget filmmaking, which is the reality for most independent filmmakers. A must for any digital filmmaker. I am aware of no other book that focuses exclusively on digital filmmaking in such detail. Chuck's book will undoubtedly inspire many digital films !

This is a very cool book for any novice, student or video professional who is faced with producing commercials and videos with very little budget to work with. Clearly the author has been challenged by a variety of clients on an assortment of projects. There is a lot to learn by reading his experiences and solutions to these challenges.

In production, we tend to think our creativity will be exercised primarily in the development of concepts and scripts, but often that creativity must be tapped for technical problem solving. This book inspires one to look at low budgets and logistical nightmares as opportunities to be creative...to "make the shot" in the face of adversity, with limited lighting instruments, small crews and even insufficient available cameras.

I found "No-Budget Digital Filmmaking" to be a wonderful addition to my library of film and video production books. Its a great reference one can turn too should similar challenges present themselves on any production.

Good job Mr. Gloman, and thanks.
