You will be pleasently surprised - By: Vid Man, 25 Aug 2006 
Not a large book, or what you would expect from Waterstones. The main point of this book is the knowledge that is inside, it is to the point, & it isn't needlessly fattened out with talk that is irrelevent.
This book is magic - straight to the point in ordinary english but by no means simple. It hits the nail on the head every time from equipment (on a budget or otherwise) to intelligent bushcraft. The writer speaks to YOU with passion about his trade & shares the secrets of getting that alll important footage. I am a semi professional filmmaker dabbling in wildlife videography as a hobby at the mo & using the techniques within the book I got some great Kingfisher footage today - it was worth every single penny tenfold.
There is also lots of advice & resources if you wish to pursue a career in wild life filmmaking (check out his other book, it's interesting reading).
If you are interested in wildlife & own a camcorder, it will bring a new dimension to your hobby. If you are a pro, I'm sure it will jog the memory of a few techniques you have forgotten.
Go buy it - there is no other book out there like it, & for 12 quid what have you got to lose.
At Last! - By: Mike, 29 May 2006 As a keen amateur camcorder user with a passion for wildlife I've been looking for a book like this for years. It's answered many questions, given me loads of new ideas & alll in friendly language I can understand. Various technical matters that were confusing me have been explained & I now have a much clearer idea how the professionals do it. I'm already getting better results from my camcorder & have ideas for movies queuing up in my head. I've realised how previously I was just pointing my camcorder at wildlife & recording - now I am making movies!
I've even found myself contemplating a career in this field.
Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get more out of their camcorder - especiallly if wanting to record wildlife/nature.
