Autorenporträt

Dan Selakovich has held almost every position on a variety of film and video projects: Cinematographer, assistant camera, gaffer, grip, boom operator, loader, and since 1986, editor and second unit director. As an editor, Dan acquired the reputation as someone who could "fix" a film in trouble, and found himself working mostly as an uncredited film surgeon making bad films a little more watchable.

Rezensionen

"If you wanted to start a film studio but only had $1,000, then this would be the book for you. You could be a "DreamWorks" in miniature. You can, believe it or not, build a crane for less than $100; a cheaper alternative then spending thousands of dollars to buy one or $500 to rent one."

"If there's one thing Killer Camera Rigs has done for me, it has started me thinking outside of the box. Not that I had loads of name-brand equipment lying around, but having been in school (and therefore having access to a lot of it) made me think that I needed lots of it to make the stories I wanted to. And yes, some of it's nice, and some things really are worth the money (after a new lens, the Vinten Vision Blue and a decent set of sticks in my priority purchase). Killer Camera Rigs You Can Build is a great idea if you are really looking to create more flexibility for your story-telling, and you will start thinking differently about your DIY filmmaking."

-Microfilmmaker Magazine

"The singular beauty of this book is that Mr. Selakovich has successfully dedicated himself to producing clarity with every page."

- Michael Ferris, Camera Operator/DP (Die Hard)

"For filmmakers who like to shoot their films with a mobile camera withough spending a fortune on equipment rentals, this book is a great gift indeed. I highly recommend it for its clarity and common sense."

- Kris Malkiewica, Cinematographer/Author
