"David Landau's book, Multi-camera Cinematography and Production , is a comprehensive coverage of the subject area. The real-world examples of contemporary production techniques, specific examples and the input from professional practitioners make this different from other textbooks. It reviews the basics and then goes to more in depth, introducing new material and examples. It gives students a place and context to practice their craft using his" Putting it in Practice" exercises." -- Matt Clarke, Producer-Director, C2 Media, USA "What David Landau has done here is distilled decades of his and his colleagues knowledge and put them into a single book. Broken down into easy to understand sections, he teaches by telling stories of our successes and failures alike. Reminding us that not all of our experiences are great, but what we learn from them is worth more than gold." -- Tigre McMullan, Gaffer with Local 52 and Director of Photography with Local 600, USA "David Landau has done it again.

After his outstanding Lighting for Cinematography fused his decades of professional work behind the camera with his equal commitment to undergraduate film education in order to provide a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to lighting for the moving image, he has shifted his focus to the demands of multiple camera television production in Multi-Camera Cinematography. In the first section of the book Landau and co-author Bruce Finn offer a simple yet comprehensive approach to camera and lighting basics useful for any introductory cinematography student. The real breakthrough comes in the second section of the volume, in which Landau and Finn detail the challenges raised by specific television genres including, talk shows, comedy shows, cooking shows and reality programming as the well as the techniques used for each of these forms. There is no currently available text that so clearly and thoroughly analyzes and explains these essential camera skills, and both students and teachers should find these insights extremely valuable." -- Evan Lieberman, Associate Professor of Film, Cleveland State University, USA.
