Lighting for Cinematography – Summary and Notes a great book on lighting, especially for people who don’t know the first thing about lighting like me. Even tells you other books to read to get better. Even with the most advanced postproduction coloring software, it is still preferable to begin with a full-range, deeply saturated […]
Book Summaries
Atomic Habits Summary A really good book that’s been highly recommended. Knocked it out in one day thanks to me doing a road gig yesterday. A lot of regurgitation but that’s what we need to get down some of these habits. Lots of practicality, and examples. Heard a lot of this from How to Fail […]
Making Movies by Sidney Lumet Summary and Notes How great to have an entire book written by a great director. Of course a lot of great information here. I need to see some of these movies I haven’t yet seen that he talks about. He seemed a little bitter in the end, but he had […]

Preface I did a quick summary of all the books I’ve read over the last few years and figured I’d give you a basic review. I may look into rating these and possibly add notes in the future, but in the meantime, I’ll just give you some quick overviews of each. If you really want […]
