Description
Film production veteran Tom Reilly has worked on motion picture sets for more than three decades. Here, he explores the art and the craft of filmmaking from the vantage point of someone actually running the movie set. Using examples unlike those in other books on film, Reilly exposes not only the power and the personalities, but the secrets of the pros. He shares the insights he gleaned while working with more than sixty Oscar-winning professionals--from Woody Allen, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Vanessa Redgrave to Sydney Pollack, Sven Nykvist, and Barbra Streisand. In these fifty entertaining, illuminating short essays, Reilly answers such questions as: What is it like to shoot a love scene? How do you do a full body burn? What is it like to film in the Everglades or in a morgue? How do you decide when to build a set? And many more.--From publisher description.
