A music video director, Anthony Richards, has added another feather to his cap with the publication of a book titled, Cinematic Success.
According to him, the book aims to empower aspiring filmmakers and aid them in finding their feet in the industry.
Richards, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Frizzle n Bizzle Films, told Sunday Scoop, “This comprehensive guidebook promises to be a beacon of knowledge, offering invaluable insights and strategies for achieving excellence in film directing.
“It delves into the intricacies of film directing, providing a step-by-step approach that combines theoretical foundations with practical techniques. It explores various aspects of the director’s role, ranging from pre-production planning to visual storytelling, working with actors, capturing compelling shots, and post-production. In the book, I offer readers advice and insider tips based on my career successes and challenges.”
Speaking on what makes the book different from the myriad of already published works out there, Richards, whose career has spanned almost two decades, said, “What sets the book apart is my emphasis on fostering creativity and individuality. I encourage budding filmmakers to find their unique voices and vision, while reminding them that true success lies in authenticity and originality.”
The author also stated that the importance of technological advancements in the industry could not be overemphasised. According to him, that was why he dedicated a section of the book to exploring the impact of digital filmmaking techniques and emerging technologies.
Richards also stated that he was embarking on a nationwide tour, conducting workshops and masterclasses to further support and inspire up-and-coming filmmakers to learn directly from him.
