Persistence of Vision: An Impractical Guide to Producing A Feature Film for Under $30,000
$26.95
While this is still a good book and certainly has reafirmed my desire to see what I have created on screen the Impractical guide is showing its age a little.

My main problem with the text is the way they dismissed video out of hand, and thus little of what they have written pertains to digital film creation. The modern indy film maker will be well versed in the film vs digital dilemma, when this was written that didn't even seen to be an issue.

However it also details with finding actors, crew and resources and all the other fundimentals of pulling together whatever you can find to make your picture.

It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A072114. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The purpose of this research is to examine the Planning, Programming, and Budgeting process within the Naval Dental Centers (NDCs) as well as their particular budget formulation and execution procedures. Since there has been no extensive research done concerning budgeting and Naval Dental Centers, this thesis stands as a small-scale representative of budgetary processes in this small hut vital section of the military. Moreover, the lack of dental readiness among personnel of operational commands recently debated in Congress during the summer of 2002 illustrates the critical nature of this topic. To analyze the topic in depth, the following points, among others, concerning budgetary policies of Naval Dental Centers must he examined; how do NDCs fit in the overall budgeting process of the Navy, how do NDCs formulate and execute budgets, what are their core missions, how do marks and reclamas affect the process, what factors affect the disparity between the funding NDCs request and what they actually receive, what performance measures are compiled and what role do they play in the budgeting process. The specific goal of this study is to provide prospective NDC comptrollers with the insight into procedures, technicalities, and peculiarities of a Medical Service Corps comptroller's job in a Naval Dental Center command.
