Book Reviews of The Grip Book, Third Edition

Book Review: This book is great way to get into the business
Summary: 5 Stars


This book is helpful with people, movie geeks(like me), or film students who want to get into this line of work. Or for people who want to know who, how they did those film shots in a way how movie magic works. Like with: camrea door way dolly, diffenct ways of shooting light or reflecking it away from the camrea, all of I told you relates to the book. What the great thing about this book, that its being told by a man Mike Uva who tells you ever step of the way who to become a film grip. He also was a film grip as well. About the most important thing about is safety is always first when on a film set. I should know I'm kinda close to a film grip, Im a Stagehand who works at Play Theather in Southern Califorina. But over all, theres a lot learn from this book, and the coolest thing about it. It even comes with a dvd, to show you how grip equipment works and how it is used on a film set. For me, I give it five stars way up. One day would I like to a film grip.

Thank you for reading my review on this book,

Ryan L.
