Nuts and Bolts by .. Florian T. Boyce (Brooklyn, NY)
When it comes down to it, "Film Scheduling" does not steer you wrong, giving the reader the essential foundation blocks to properly break down and schedule a particular film.


My problem with the book however is that it is awfully dated. Being published in the 80s and revised in the 90s, it treats electronic tools (ie a computer) like it is some sort of "coming soon" feature.

All and all a decent book, that if anything is needing a new edition.

practice does it.. by .. Xavier (Amsterdam)
Clear and elaborate explanation on breakdown and scheduling. A bit short on getting the number of scenes on a day tot day basis right, but I guess practice does it.

The definitive work... by .. David Park (Austin, TX)
This book is the definitive work in film scheduling. It clearly explains the process of breaking down a screenplay in order to produce a shooting schedule, daily call sheets, and much of the rest of the paperwork that goes hand-in-hand with a smooth feature film.

Planning is everything on cost-effective filmmaking. This book is an educational tool that breaks everything down into small logical steps. It explains how to carry out those steps, and the logic and reasoning behind doing it this way. In the end, you arrive at a point where you have ample paperwork that explains in which order you shall shoot your film, on which days, in which locations, and with everyone knowing who and what needs to be where, when!

It needs to be said that at time, the breakdown process can be laborious and highly repetitive. This method goes a long way to minimizing the repetition, and making you a more effective filmmaker.

When you reach the end of this book and have scheduled your film, the companion book "Film Budgeting" will show you with equal clarity how to produce a meaningful budget from the results of this book.

I highly recommend both books, particularly if you are working on larger productions where you have enough money to really mess up, but not enough money to afford to mess up.

Great primer!! by .. Ernesto Alcantara ()
Before getting this title I had downloaded a couple of scheduling software to start planning a short film but soon discovered that I had no clue how to get started and transform the written words in the script to a detailed plan of action for the cast and crew to follow.

Although this book is a little old - the second edition was published in 1991- the principals for film scheduling it contains are invaluable for anyone involved in planning a film or video production. It guides you through the logical process of transforming any script into the foundation for a precise film schedule. Brief and concise explanations about color-coding your script, transferring these tags to breakdown sheets and then working with the strip board to fine tune your schedule. It uses Francis Ford Coppola's Conversation as a sample script, and it takes up a large chunk of the book. This helps illustrate a very complex film and what was the mindset for breaking it down into shooting days in the most adverse conditions, but you can always use your own. It also includes a chapter on computer scheduling but most of the software presented are outdated; the most important thing you can learn from this chapter is that you need to understand the fundamentals, key parameters and how the process is done manually before sitting in front of a computer and this book does just that.

I must also point out that you can breeze through the pages as I was able to finish this book in just two days (over the weekend) leaving me enough time to practice the basics and go to the computer to prepare a reasonable film schedule.

READ THIS BOOK FIRST!! by .. ()
Film Scheduling is the basic primer of how to schedule a film. There are very expensive computer programs that will help you in scheduling -- but you have to first understand the process. This book is written by an experienced, working, Hollywood film producer. Best $20 you'll spend. Cheaper than film school! Spend a little more and get the other books Singleton's written as well and you'll be on your way to knowing more than many Hollywood execs.

In 1979 WSB questions the creation of Nat'l Healthcare by .. Mr. Egregious ()
Burroughs's Blade Runner, A Movie, though as noted in previous reviews, bears no relation to the P.K. Dick work by the same title, it is nonetheless a far-reaching work of science fiction which explores the potential ramifications of the state of the nation if national health care were to be instituted (the work was penned in 1979). Though many people, when confronting a sci-fi work that has become literal in one sense yet in other aspects have yet to occur, will prey upon the latter while failing to salute the former. However, many times such critics are only exercising half of their literary aestheticism, for these people quickly forget the literal and the metaphorical are, at its best moments, entirely inseparable. With this in mind, yes, part of what Burroughs has written has occurred in regards to the implementation of HMOs yet other aspects have, and will not, but are to be taken metaphorically. Yet, regardless of interpretation, it is a tale told by a master that is easily accessible (even for Burroughs). Blade Runner is entertaining, and as always with WSB, thought provoking.

Nothing New, and No Real Connections to the Film by .. Sir Charles Panther (Alexandria, Virginny, USandA)
If you're looking for a connection to Ridley Scott's brilliant 1981 film release, you won't have it here. The only real connection is the title itself. It strikes me that someone creative and well-read in the Blade Runner film development came upon a phrase which just wouldn't let go, and that's how we got the term for the film. But wait, this was the term in Philip K. Dick's original book--so who knows which came first... Burroughs' description here and that in the film are similar in their urban and societal context, but that's about where they end.

Reading this book, it strikes me that the producers of Escape from New York read this novel, and took an awful lot of creative vision away from it. This is especially true of the descriptions of a decrepit and decaying New York City, walled, populated by the dead, dying, and murdering, and where entire cultures flourish hundreds of feet above in the dead skyscrapers.

Written in late 70s, published first in 1979. Set in 1999, or maybe 2014, or maybe 1984, or maybe any number of time citations Burroughs coughs up.

Basically it's a futuristic nightmare, a technological hell in which the state has taken over all aspects of life, bureaucracy dictates every waking moment, and the medical institution is the vilest, most corrupt, most bloodthirsty, and most reckless of them all. Underground and legit drugs, as well as designer plagues all vie in the marketplace. Genetics are manipulated and diseases are voluntarily contracted for the material and physiological benefits the accrue.

Inside this hell the blade runner is central. "Essential to underground medicine are the blade runners, who transfer the actual drugs, instruments and equipment from the suppliers to the clients and doctors and underground clinics." The second half of the book, all two-dozen-odd pages of it follows Billy and his mates, blade runners all, as they fight their way through life on the street.

If you're a Burroughs fan, you've seen it all before in Cities of the Red Night and The Place of Dead Roads. Nothing exotic or new or surprising here. This is a good addition to complete your Burroughs library, but not much more.

Off-cuts should not be published. by .. Neil Ford (Sydney, Australia)
This very short book will disappoint all but the most blindly fanatical Burroughs fans. A series of sketches inspired by the Nourse novel of the same name, it simply repeats well-worn themes dealt with more effectively elsewhere in his work. It seems to be the collected results of an aborted attempt to write a novel or screenplay, and from these insipid, lifeless scenes it is easy to see why it was aborted. The only question is: why display the lifeless corpse to the reading public? Methinks his manager was behind this unwise decision$$$

For completists only.

The great novel by .. drizzle@ibm.net ()
Different from "Blade runner"by Ridley Scott. Rather;more difficult,but bloody fun,wild,cool and rapid. You will not able to deceive yourself any longer after reading this novel,or you yourself must be a blade runner.

Good New Edition by .. TGM ()
Updated edition has a glossier cover. Corrected some of the issues from an earlier edition noted by some readers, but the book is basically the same as the earlier one - minus any small production errors. Has a great behind the scenes look at The Crow and Twilight Zone-The Movie and a rare look behind Bette Davis' last film The Wicked Stepmother. Also Amityville Horror story look at the real killings ands the movies tale.

Interesting Subject Matter by .. Sam in Chicago (Chicago, IL)
Not all inclusive but this book has some interesting stories that I havent seen before. It's not the usual horror stuff that tries to talk about the themes or hidden meanings. This book is fun because it goes into the making of the movie. Some good coverage of Twilight Zone the movie, the Crow and the rare Bette Davis flick Wicked Stepmother. It also covers the usual making of big flicks like Exorcist, Jaws and Psycho, but it's the rare ones that make the book a treat. Small publisher so there's not a lot of money put into the printing. Quality is ok. Some nice pics, some typos, but overall an interesting read. I recommend if you like back story stuff around hollywood flicks.

too many typos. by .. Jennifer R. Word ()
The book was kind of interesting. The first few stories "The Crow" and "Twilight Zone, The Movie," were definitely eerie and gruesome. Loaded with details I didn't previous know. But for a book with the title Reel 'Horror', some of the stories were just plain boring. I thought the book was about actual deaths that took place during the filming of various movies. Only the first few movies were about mysterious or nasty deaths. The rest were just stories of production woes. Poltergeist did have deaths, but none occurring on set. Who cares about the production problems on Bette Davis' last film? It doesn't qualify as 'horror' in any way (although the director and producers probably disagree). The Jaws story wasn't terrifying at all. What was it doing in the book? And I couldn't get past the various typos throughout the book. There are at least 5 on every page. Some mistakes are too grievous to be overlooked. The author refers repeatedly to the director of Poltergeist as Tobe Cooper! (it's Hooper!!). Out of sheer curiosity, I looked up the cinematographer named on the Bette Davis story, and couldn't find his name in the database. His name is also not the name listed on the official credit of cinematographer who worked on the film. Hmmm...I simply had to check references after the Hooper incident! It makes me wonder about the credibility of the authors' references. While there may be an explanation for certain questions (perhaps the cinematographer quit halfway through production and was replaced?), I can't believe they mispelled a directors' name....Not very interesting. I'd try a different title than this for some real 'reel horror'.

Fascinating but cheaply made book by .. Just Another Reviewer (Ashburn, VA United States)
Not to be confused by Reel Terror, a book containing the stories that influenced several sc-fi and horror movies. This book focuses on the tragic real life events surrounding some recognizable movies.

Be warned, the book is cheaply made and is 8.5 x 11, not a standard paperback size as I was expecting. For the price, I would recommend trying to find it at your local library over purchasing. But a good read, nonetheless.
