I had higher hopes for this book. I was expecting more detail and less basic overview of shooting action sports. I think it’s a good source of basic information for those considering getting into this field as a profession or hobbyist, but it falls short in technical aspects. However, there were some good points such as the section on story line that even the most seasoned filmmaker could use.
