Documentary Guide

Welcome to the bonus website for The Shut Up and Shoot Documentary Guide, Second Edition by Anthony Artis!

  • Fresh coverage of DSLR cameras, new lighting gear, visual storytelling, postproduction techniques, and distribution in an online era
  • 500+ full color illustration, timesaving tips, and practical input from filmmakers that you can immediately apply to your own projects
  • New sections on fundraising, choosing lenses, shooting internationally, the 4K format, shooting on iPhones, previsualization, wireless microphones, dolly and slider shots, staging remote interviews, transcripts, and more
