Trevor Whelan Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 hey im fresh to this game and I am learning more and more each day and loving it as im sure all of you are. I am overwhelmed by the vast amount of knowledge and insight that is expressed on this site, I am learning alot on set working with DOPs and ACs, I am studying and reading when i don't have a camera in my control but I am curious to find any great books that you could recommend as gems and bibles that helped you starting out...... Thanks Trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
