Summary: Don't bother underlining because every sentence is important
Comment: This book is the most comprehensive book I've seen in this field. The author begins with a basic coverage of camera operation, lighting, sound, etc. Then, he goes in depth to documentary idea, organization, planning, budgeting, dealing with the crew, dealing with the "talent". The editing section was a surprise bonus for me. I've learned more about editing from this book than from any other book I've read. The author is obviously a great filmmaker and a great teacher. Many other books about filmmaking or video production contain a lot of extraneous words that are entertaining at best and insulting at worst. This author treats the reader as an intelligent person with a serious desire to learn about making documentaries.

Summary: A must for every serious documentarist
Comment: Rabiger is simply one of the basics for any willing filmaker. His insigth and the way he handdles documentaries goes beyond anything that I have seen before. I belive the most impotant thing on the book is his emphasis on the human side of this kind of films.
The last chappters of the book really fall a little, but I belive it is an excusable flaw because of the high quality of the rest of the book. Thanks to Mr. Rabiger I am very ahead of the rest of my documentary class in production, language and structure.
