Read it, then read it again, then read a different book........2005-10-31
I liked this book. After getting a degree in film school, then going to a post production school you learn what books and what information is real, is for beginners, and is for the business people looking for a quick buck thinking they can run Hollywood over with their copycat movies.
This book has some guts, although not 100% correct on some issues, but well worth the read.
As Charles Henry Blackledge says in his review--some i agree with and others I do not...

If you're looking for a book that will give you practical, nuts and bolts, down to brass tacks advice on how to make a quality, professional looking DV movie on an ultra-low budget then "Digital Moviemaking" by Scott Billups is NOT the book you're looking for. This book was obviously written by a tech-nerd for other tech-nerds.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chuck!! I find that of you are making your own movie, one NEEDS to BE a tech-nerd. Self movie creation and publication is not for the creative types, you have to be all the above. We are not talking that you can be one and hire the rest, this is not what the book is about.
Yes I agree the title should be changed to fit the information, but why make the title ruin what information is in there?
Chuck writes----------------------------------------------------------------
If you are an aspiring filmmaker who has a good movie idea and want to know how to shoot it on an ultra-low budget then don't waste your money buying this book.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you ARE an aspiring moviemaker (we are shooting it on video; therefore, we are MOVIEMAKERS not filmmakies) you should NEVER use any home movie camera or home movie media (miniDV, any if them)--as you so call it low budget. People should only use these for practice, never for publication or projection. Seriousness shows what you will do with your time, money, and craft.
Of course one could have a wonderful, exciting, and entertaining story done on VHS, but why would one waste their efforts putting it on it. IT DOES NOT SHOW how serious or their commitment to their craft. Save up, borrow, or beg for the better stuff.
Chuck writes-----------------------------------------------------------------
I recommend instead reading "Digital Filmmaking 101" by Dale Newton and John Gaspard which is a much better book that explains in layman's terms how to shoot a quality, professional looking movie on digital video.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I also have this book and found it informative as well.
With any information, news, gossip, and so forth, why do people read it from one source and call it truth or real? Read more than one paper, watch more than one news program, look at more than one weather station, and read more than one book on moviemaking--the more you do this better informed you will be.

A great source on color space, but that's about it.......2005-04-06
Billup's book is creative, fun read. But looking back on it, it's not one of those essential film books. The book's greatest strength is explaining color space and color depth, which are Billup's profession as he works on the technical side of HD production. He explores these rather dry issues in a fun and witty way. And he also explores working in Hollywood in a new, positive way. But beyond that, the book gives a very, very, very broad look at every other field of digital moviemaking, making it seem in the end too darn general to be effective. A better book for breaking into digitial filmmaking: $30 Film School by Michael Dean. It does a much better job of covering all the bases and is just as fun.
Not worth it!.......2004-11-03
If you're looking for a book that will give you practical, nuts and bolts, down to brass tacks advice on how to make a quality, professional looking DV movie on an ultra-low budget then "Digital Moviemaking" by Scott Billups is NOT the book you're looking for. This book was obviously written by a tech-nerd for other tech-nerds.
The majority of this book is technical information and history and should instead be entitled:"Hi-Definition Video Moviemaking" as this is what Billups spends the majority of the book discussing. There is precious little in this book that a low-budget filmmaker will find of use. Billups and co. are apparently of the opinion that it's a waste of time shooting on anything other than HD video or 35mm film and seem to have nothing but contempt for Independent, low-budget filmmakers.
If you are an aspiring filmmaker who has a good movie idea and want to know how to shoot it on an ultra-low budget then don't waste your money buying this book. I recommend instead reading "Digital Filmmaking 101" by Dale Newton and John Gaspard which is a much better book that explains in layman's terms how to shoot a quality, professional looking movie on digital video. It was written by 2 guys who have made good low-budget films and have a lot more respect for and understanding of independent, low-budget filmmakers than Scott Billups.
A fun, down-to-earth read, held back by some minor errors........2004-08-30
I got this book a matter of days ago, and upon finishing the introduction, I hated the author with a passion. He had me furious with his no-nonsense, kick-in-the-crotch attitude that went against everything I believed. Or so I thought. After a good night's sleep, I realized that most of what he had to say was correct, and I found my way around to agreeing with most of his points. I decided to give the rest of it a chance, and I'm glad I did, because although Billups continues telling it like he thinks it is (he's right pretty much all of the time, to his credit), he manages to inject a sense of humor into the proceedings, and keep the book light hearted enough so as not to scare you away. This helps tremendously in making him seem more like a working professional, and not a pompous, self-important windbag.
I haven't got much to say about the GOOD parts of the book; they are numerous indeed, and I learned a good deal from them regardless of the fact that I don't see myself doing this for a living.
No, what struck me most about this book was the liberal sprinkling of spelling, grammatic, conceptual, and structural errors. Never before have I encountered such nonsense in a FIRST edition book, let alone a second. What am I talking about? Well, the spelling errors are usually minor, and easily overlooked, but the grammar is another thing entirely. "Orientated" instead of "oriented", "bandpass" instead of "bandwidth", things like that. "Orientated", I suppose, is technically correct (though it makes one look about as ridiculous as "irregardless" does), and "bandpass" may very well be the proper term in certain situations, but it's like the difference between "GNU/Linux" and "Linux": NO ONE uses the "proper" term, NO ONE is going to be confused, and as such it is completely unnecessary. Insisting on the techie version serves only to make you look like a pretentious tightwad.
When it comes to conceptual errors, I mean the way he, in one situation when discussing 3D modeling/rendering, confuses alpha channels with bump maps. Alpha channels control the transparency of a material, bump maps make the bumps. Again, even if what he said was correct (I'm no expert, maybe bump maps really are alpha channels in a stricter sense), the fact remains that NO ONE speaks this way, no manuals define things this way, nor do special interest technical books or training videos. If you ask someone to put an image with the letter H in the alpha channel of a material, and place that material on a surface, you're going to get a big H-shaped hole in your surface, not an H-shaped bump on top of it.
He also flip-flops between describing image dimensions as width by height and describing them as height by width. Even though the vast majority uses the width by height description, something I agree and feel comfortable with, I would hardly mind him using the other if he were the least bit consistent. He's back and forth throughout the course of the text, and it can be quite disorienting (not "disorientating", you'll note).
Then we have the more basic structural errors. The only way to adequately demonstrate this phenomenon is to provide a fictional example (note that he is NEVER this blatant, and doesn't even touch on this subject):
"The default lens package included with Camera X is absolutely wonderful, but the lens they give you along with Camera X is pretty darn great."
See what I mean? That he repeats himself, saying the SAME thing about the SAME product in the course of one sentence for no reason is disturbing enough; more troubling is his use of "but" when he should be using "and". If you're going to tack a positive comment about an object on to an existing comment about the same object that's already positive, you use "and".
There's also a tendency to use common words and phrases over and over and over again. I do this all the time (my parenthetic comments in this review, for example), but in a professionally published work? You'd think somebody would do a "Count Instances" in their word processor.
Things like that contribute to an overall sense of "wha...?" when reading this book. At first I attributed this stuff to an absolutely abysmal proofreader, but firstly, I own several other books from MWP which sound far better. Secondly, as we reach the end of this book, we start to see more and more quotes--eventually interviews, and entire guest-written chapters--from others in the field, typically people the author has worked with and known for some time. None of their writing exhibits this behavior.
In short, this book is like certain types of music and movies: the content may be great, but the way it's put together makes you a bit nauseous. You don't know exactly why, but sounds with certain frequencies and/or images with certain kinds of movement make you sick, no matter how moving the song/film may very well be.
It IS worth full price, it IS worth reading several times over, and you WILL get something out of it whether you want this hobby to become a career or not. The errors are not world-ending, and the overall idea gets through loud and clear.
They're big enough for someone like me, though, to feel that something, however small, is missing.
Best book on the subject.......2004-04-01
I reviewed this Book for High Definition Magazine in 2003. I was so impressed that I thought this information should be available generally.
Back in the 60's Scott Billups would have been known as a video freak. The subtitle of his book Digital Moviemaking: "All the skill, techniques and moxie you'll need to turn your passion into a career": also betrays his understanding that digital moviemaking is a business as well as a technicians paradise - and I have to say right here right now, what this man don't know about video - ain't worth knowin' !
"Those who know will always have a job, those who know why, will be in charge." From Chapter two.
Digital Moviemaking is a very readable book and there are a plethora of technical details for all but the most seriously anoraked of our readers. Scott's approach to High Definition is to take you on a journey of understanding through the underlying principles of the digital realm.
There are many many technical descriptions that allow the reader easily into a highly complex digital world - He begins with a basic description of the fundamentals of analogue to digital conversion, through the systems of compression, up through DV all the way to High Definition. This is a necessary path because the understanding of High Definition issues lay within the undergrowth of simple digital encoding and compression. I haven't come across a book as clear as this one before.
Scott is the Richard Dawkins of digital technicalities - he can make even the most dense technical information fun:
"While RGB theoretically creates the most robust ITU-R 601 signal, the most common reference to 601 as colour difference, component digital video, sampled at 4:2:2 at 13.5 mhz with 720 luminance samples per active line, digitized at either 8 - or 10 bit.
Whew, it hurt me to write that too".
This fundamentally technical book actually made me understand and laugh out loud ! What's more, it's an energetic enough book to begin with image capture, work its way through the editing process, then out and onto film - and beyond. At the end there's a reference section in which you'll find an extremely concise guide for the newly fledged HD Cinematographer.
But this book is also a rant against Hollywood which is fun in itself and Scott is on a mission to re-educate and re-inform his audience who he sees as enthusiastic but slightly wayward idealists who want to invade Hollywood's hallowed avenues without the right information.
"Just imagine if the snakes that slither through the gutters of Hollywood actually had a say in matters. They'd glut the market, take their booty, and retire in a heartbeat. You know it, I know it, and they know it."
Scott has worked with many great filmmakers, including David Lynch, and he was even assistant to the great James Wong Howe, so you know that what he's got to say has real authority, though I get the feeling he'd poo poo that suggestion himself. He's also at the very cutting edge of invention - he'll think nothing of capturing bits of a movie he's shooting on 35mm, on his laptop from a small digital camera for later compositing at the edit with the 35mm footage.
Digital Moviemaking is a great way into digital video and High Definition in so many areas, and Scott insists you understand why you're making the choices you're making, and why you should let craft and technique lead you in the end.
As Jerry Rubin, and possibly Scott too might advocate - read it, even if you have to "steal this book!"
Product Description
This unprecedented new book is a must-have for any musician. These previously unpublished works by Cole Porter are now being made available for the first time! A number of songs in this volume were written for unproduced shows or films, some, for a long time, had existing lyrics but no music, and others were simply thought to be lost, only to later be found in archives and warehouses. Several songs have interesting stories behind them, and some were simply considered too long for the traditional sheet music format. The book includes a CD that provides demonstration recordings for 15 of the titles to aid in learning the pieces. Titles include: You and Me (Hitchy Koo of 1919) * Love Em and Leave Em (Misc. Song) * Ah Fong Low (Hitchy Koo of 1922) * Dizzy Baby (Paris) * The Extra Man (Wake Up and Dream) * That s Why I Love You (Fifty Million Frenchmen) * Why Marry Them? (Gay Divorcee) * Ruins (Nymph Errant) * Through Thick and Thin (Something to Shout About) * We Shall Never Be Younger (Kiss Me Kate) and more.

my only poker book.......2007-07-08
re-read this all the time. addresses only 'limit' games and i only play 'on-limit' and free-rolls. think it provides a good 'basic TIGHT strategy'. he addresses bluffing but it didn't 'stick'. like the charts alot! guess i'm old-school but did find the use of 'she, her' a little annoying. still don't understand 'raising for a free card'. lol
all the best,

Good.......2007-06-27
This is a great book if yuor are into the mathematical aspects of hold'em. ALthough there are some good cencepts for those are less concerned it's main focus is on math. This book also explains outs and non-outs and how to calculate pot odds based on these as well as based on what your opponents cards are (if you are able to read hands well enough).
Best Explanation of Poker Strategy.......2007-02-24
This book is my favorite Hold 'Em book of all time for one simple reason. Every piece of advice it gives is backed up with one or more concrete examples of that principle in a game scenario as well as a mathematical proof of why that strategy is ultimately profitable in the long run. There are thousands of possible scenarios in poker. Having an expert tell me to throw away King-Queen offsuit in early position does me no good if I don't know why. I either won't remember, will misapply that information, or at the very least won't encounter that exact situation at the table where an understanding of the reasoning behind the advice might help me apply the same principle to a similar although slightly different scenario. This is where Yao as an author shines. This book will take you a bit longer than most other Hold 'Em books to get through but it's well worth the trip. If you want to skip over the mathematical parts, the writing itself is enough to stand on its own. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to deepen their ability to play Hold 'Em strategically. It's probably not the best first book if you've never read any book about the game before but a great second or third book - highly recommended.

Book Description
What do these people have in common? Carol cannot free herself from the abusive relationship she has endured for ten miserable years. Ben is driven to secret sexual liaisons with one woman after another. Ginny spends every free moment of her day absorbed in romance novels.
Carol, Ben and Ginny suffer from the same problem. Psychologists call it "love addiction."
Addicted to "Love" describes the many forms this addiction can take. Like alcoholics or drug addicts, love addicts get high on sex and romance and need ever-greater doses to keep going.
Stephen Arterburn examines this addiction--who it afflicts and what you can do if you suspect that your spouse, friend, or family member may be suffering from it. With compassion and wisdom, Arterburn points the way to psychological and spiritual healing that can enable men and women to enjoy real and lasting intimacy.

Must Have Basic Work.......2007-08-09
I feel put off by many of the spiritual finger-pointing works I've read in the past. I already feel too guilty in general, so was looking for something written from a spiritual and somewhat clinical perspective that identified issues without finger-pointing.
Addicted to "Love" is exactly what I was looking for. A word of caution though, for those who've contitioned themselves to be offended by any reference to spiritual concerns - don't buy this.
The material contained in this well-written work is not specific toward one gender, but provides a wide perspective that includes a multitude of concerns I'd never thought about before. I "lost" the copy I lent to someone, and have to buy another. But it's a good reference to keep in my library.
I like self-help works to a point, but for me they usually end up bringing me back to myself, which is the problem in the first place. So, I needed both issue identification and a spiritual option for future personal growth.
I am still unable to follow through with the whole spiritual process, but that leads me to consider other works more specific to my particular need and help me make progress in perhaps smaller increments.
I don't think you'll find a better work anywhere that covers the gamut of potential concerns and is written for the general public to understand.
Clarity From Confusion.......2005-11-21
I was given this book by a friend 8 years ago and was offended. I put it on a shelf and didn't bother with it for over a year. I read it one day when my life and marriage seemed to be falling apart, and I began to understand some of what was driving the chaos in my life. Beyond explanations, its message drew me toward a relationship with God and encouraged me to talk about things that seemed unspeakable to me. I found others who were working out these issues and began to redraw the canvas of my life. What a gift my friend gave me back then. I'm glad she had the courage to risk offending me to help me.
Definitely a Pass.......2003-06-10
I at first thought this would be the answer being I'm in recovery for love addiction and also that I am a psychotherapist. However, like others have found, within the first few pages you see the religious dogma this book spews. So, just as in the twelve step recovery programs, unless you buy into that dogma, which this book also quotes bible verses, this is a big PASS.
Also, you can tell the the author is very inconsistent in his studies and theories. He also needs some medical courses that needs to be taken. Here is an example: Several times within the book he refers to "catching AIDS from someone" or the like. YOU CANNOT CATCH AIDS!!! You aquire HIV. AIDS is symptomatic of HIV. They are not one and the same.
I read as much about the religious addictions evident in this author and returned the book. It could not help since you have to believe in god and many of our citizens do not call their higher power god and many who need help with this addiction do not believe in a higher power. This author, by taking his religious addiction to note here, totally negates the entire population.
A definite pass on this book. Not worth it. Much of the information was duplication. Just changing a few words.
By the way, the author even considers that if you have sex outside of a traditional marriage, then you suffer from sexual addiction. One of the most narrow minded ideas I've read on this subject to date.
What an eye opener!.......2003-03-08
This book was extremely helpful in my recovery. I learned how to evalute my own needs and the reasons I choose certain people to get in relationship with. It pulled she cover off my denial. Which is not a fun thing, but necessary for hope and a future. It may have prevented more heartbreak and pain in my future relationships. I felt like parts of this book were written about me. Dr. Arterburn obviously has a good grasp of codependency and other addictions. Buy it. It may change your life.
Very Disappointing....NOT helpful in the least........2003-01-19
I was unaware when I purchased this book that there would be a religious slant on it. There is no indication that religion would be a part of it when I ordered it. I found this book to be incredibly judgmental, specifically when in one chapter the author mentions a woman using a vibrator as not a "proper" thing to do. Also the author does not have a PhD, and therefore in my opinion has no basis for writing a book that is supposed to help with addiction.
Very disappointing.

Exceptional !.......2006-11-11
This book had me hooked from the very beginning. I wanted to cry when I read about Karen's childhood. To think that someone could do that to a child is horrible. Clyde was a trip. He was absoulutly CRAZY! This book had me glued to my seat, there were so many twist and turns that I never knew what was going to happen next. I couldn't put it down! I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially to any young girls or women who are in abusive relationships. This was a very, very good book!

In the name of Love.......2007-07-30
'This book is about the messy, protracted journey through love and relationship addictions, toward self-love, wholeness and power.' -- Deborah Ricks
After surviving yet another doomed-from-the-start love affair, Deborah Ricks took her daily journal, sat in front of her PC and preceded to share her story. She gives readers a glimpse into the mind of an addict, albeit a relationship addiction. Deborah also shares insight into what she believes is the genesis of her addiction to men and relationships; a troubled relationship with her father.
Years of hurt, disappointment, betrayal, abuse, misuse and resentment calcified into a seething contempt and extreme bitterness for an entire segment of the population. Men, especially Black men, became her enemy. Finally, Deborah realized her noxious attitude about men, coupled with her self-esteem issues, were the impetus behind her failed relationships. Deborah even considered an alternative, but her mental foray into that lifestyle did not satisfy her desire for testosterone; she missed the seductive dance between the yin and the yang.
After Deborah slipped into what she calls 'her darkness', she made a powerful choice, one that gave her more freedom, more flexibility, and more time to write. Deborah realized she had the power to direct her life and that joy was her birthright. Love addiction was her reality; it fueled her misguided pursuit of a father's love, in the arms of the wrong men. LOVE ADDICTED led to the healing of her mind and spirit and is the culmination of a spiritual ritual that still channels her life.

Putting emotional dependency and man addiction on blast.......2006-06-14
I stumbled on this book at a poetry reading and had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Ricks there. Her book spoke to me so personally (even down to the 6 year relationship that went no where)and helped me to walk away from my addiction to men and focus on ME! The book also names other important reads, quotes, and people to get additional assistance from.
A must read for all women who are searching for love in all the wrong places.......2005-09-05
I have read this book "Love Addicted" and being a long term friend of the author's Debora Ricks, it was truly an eye opener! Reading my sister-friends journey through her love addiction. The book was written with such eloquence and revelation that the reader would be given answers on why they search and love men that are abusive, controlling, and powerful. Debora takes you back to her relationship with her father, which was an abusive one or she shares her intimate secret of being raped as a child by a stranger. These two men had an impact on how she perceives and accepts men that were not loving - her father and a stranger who raped her.
Debora, an intelligent sister. An attorney by trade, a mother by choice lets you into her secret world to help others who have travelled this same path of abuse, heartbreak, struggle and then triumph. A spiritually written book with quotes that will move you through each chapter from Zora Neal Hurston to Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching.
I recommend this journalistic reflection of a sister-friend whose eloquence in her writing and her evolving into her own,
makes it a must read for those who are searching for love or need help in breaking their addiction - "Love Addiction"
Product Description
A compelling story of help and hope for hundreds of babies born addicted to drugs in Harlem. Dr. Lorraine Hale tells the story of finding a hopeless heroin addict and her baby firl on a New York sidewalk over 20 years ago, and sending them to her mother. That was the beginning of Hale House.

The Vixen Diaries
ASIN: 0373830386 |
Book Description
Ordained elder and radio personality Vikki Johnson addresses the emotionally crippling behavior of being addicted to counterfeit love. Some people have become so conditioned to being in a pattern of unsatisfying and spiritually draining relationships that they can't recognize what a truly genuine and loving partnership should be. They become accepting of the lies, anguish and humiliation and train themselves to become numb to the emotional pain. When someone does come along who bestows upon them love, honor and respect, quite frequently they sabotage the relationship simply because they cannot identify it. The negative cycle they are caught up in has them addicted to the counterfeit—the deceptive, fraudulent behavior that weakens their capacity to trust.
The words of wisdom that Vikki Johnson delivers will help readers identify destructive behavior and encourage them to demand the love that they are entitled to. God wants us to be in healthy, loving relationships, but our body, soul and spirit must be in harmony in order for these unions to succeed. The faith-based messages throughout the book will help readers get on the pathway to loving God and themselves the way God designed.
