Whether you oversee film production as a faculty member, are a production manager for a film studio, or an independent filmmaker/freelance producer, this first-of-its-kind book is an absolute essential. Injuries (sometimes tragic) occur all too frequently on film sets, and often even a minimal amount of safety training could have made all the difference in the decision making process that led to accident. This book provides just that and then some with succinct, easy-to-read yet crucial information that can't be found anywhere else.

Creating an effective safety program presents two primary challenges, those being devising a system of oversight of projects and providing appropiate training to creative people so they gain an awareness of hazards, and the methods with which they can safely approach them. To get you past these challenges, the book starts by looking at successful safety programs within academic and commercial production environments, distilling the best ideas for impelementing a program that promotes safety awareness and accountability. The second part of the book then provides a wealth of safety awareness information and considerations, covering fourteen particular areas that have vital safety implications.

Topics covered include: * vehicle and roadway safety, including shooting in moving vehicles * lighting equipment safety * 2 chapters on electrical safety * safety with props, weapons, and special effects * environmental safety * safety when using chemicals, flammable materials, solvents, and paints * Much more....
