American Cinematographer Magazine Review

“As one might guess from the emphatic title of his book, The Shut Up and Shoot Documentary Guide, author Anthony Q. Artis is more than just a filmmaker, teacher, and writer — he’s a sort of DV evangelist. A man on a mission to educate everyone about the benefits of digital production and post-production.”
