This is a thread to provide resources for upcoming filmmakers. Please let me know if there is already a thread like this - I did do a search, and couldn’t find one…
Anyway, this is to post links to websites that are helpful in different areas and aspects of both live-action and other forms/mediums of filmmaking such as animation.
To get started, here are a few links below. (Please remember that this is for all aspects of filmmaking, so please do add as many as possible.)

(This issue of the book, I have not read. It is the third edition printing of a book first published in 1995, then again in 1998, and this one in 2003. Since the book is quite expensive, I looked at the library, and they only had the 1998 version. I figured I would borrow it anyway, and I did. Even though the version I am reading is quite out-dated by today’s standards, the basics are still the same, and the information great. This being said, the updated version must be even better, [I am not sure if it has been updated again], and as you can tell through the ‘look inside’ feature on Amazon, it covers many different aspects such as storyboarding. It is very thorough, and is easy, and fun to read. Although it is like a textbook, I don’t know why, but it doesn’t feel as textbooky. It is a very useful book. It is published by http://www.wwnorton.com. This is a good publisher, for text books judging by the ones from them that I have read, [essentially this one, and the music history textbooks a little while back].) [url]Catalog | W. W.

Other books on animation are listed below. I think that I have check all of these out at some point, but cannot remember the specifics… When I did my animation search on Amazon, there were many that I had read, but I can’t exactly post them all here…

Filmmaking in general: And then there is this last one, which is a great book to read about independent filmmaking, written by the Polish brothers, who have directed several films, including Northfork.

You can add links to websites, and books about the filmmaking process that you are reading, and comment below. I know that there are more that I have used, but I can’t think of them right now. There are also some that I am going to be checking out, and will post here if the seem to be useful. Another note, is that from a filmmaking perspective, the ‘Art Of’ books are great, so be sure to search for them on Amazon, or at a local bookstore, and check them out.
If there are any areas of filmmaking that you are wondering about / looking for information on, then please mention them, so that others who know of great resources in this area can help.
Thanks,
