2For big budget, large crew productions only  Apr 20, 2008 By Shawn Chittle
Who this book is for:

* Major record company executives who want to learn more about the entire process of making a video.

* Bands who have $10,000 or more to make a video.

* Anyone who is interested in learning how major productions (not just music videos, but ANY kind) are conceived, budgeted, shot, and edited.

This book is NOT for:

* do-it-yourselfers or for people who know how already to shoot a dramatic short or feature film. there are some great tidbits specific to music videos, but not what you could get from other sources which focus specifically on music videos.

* YouTubers, small camera crews, friends-of-the-band who have a working knowledge of film production and want to make music video.

* anyone looking for the technical solution to lip syncing, including methods of how to shoot a music video from beginning to end so the audio syncs with the performance; editing techniques specific to music videos. (layering each full synced take on top of one another and cutting away)

It's an excellent book for what it is: how to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a music video using union professionals.

5Making Music Videos  Jul 29, 2007 By MusikSlut
I never write reviews, but I am writing this one for those like me who are trying to get more exposure for their music. We are planning on making our first video(s) and putting it on UTube, and this book pretty much tells you exactly how to make a video. It is really detailed, has a good table of contents so you're not wasting time, and gives advice from big people in the industry.

2making music videos: everything you need to know from the best in the business  Nov 22, 2010 By Rene Martinez
This book is definitly not for the DIY amateur videographer. This book deals more with high level big budget music video production, it is not of any use for someone trying to make there own videos indepentantly. I did find the book informative. If you were ever curious as to how the music video comes together, in the more professional world with big time budgets and teams of people working together then this book is a good read, but like I said if your one of these DSLR video types who wants to learn more about making your first music video, don't bother with this book.

its gona create a Great Platform for me to start of my carrier

however it could have covered the treatment writing part and other creative topics more elaborately otherwise this book belongs in every shelf !
