If I only had the option to get the Barry Green HVX Book or the 2 disc Bootcamp DVD's, which one should I get. I have 30-40 hours experience with the HVX so im not a beginner, I am looking for help with advanced techniques and looks (scene settings).
 
get the videos as barry talks faster than most people read a lot of information is disseminated in a short period of time and i found it easier to see the demo of how something worked rather than read about it
 
Well - I'd say no matter which one you get, you should seriously consider getting the other as soon as you have the money.

That said - I would go for the DVDs.
They are really fantastic.
 
If choosing between the two, I would say the book without a doubt. It's size and ringbound format mean it's a perfect reference manual that can taken on shoots with you. As Luis said though, if you can, get them both. They are both excellent companions to the HVX.
 
and you can reference the book on location if need be. I'd feel silly asking for a dvd player at a shoot so I can watch that one part again... But like Luis said - get both ASAP.
 
Alright - after reading everyone's comments I have to say, they've got a good point....
While I still find the DVDs more bang for the buck (in my opinion) - the book might be more convenient and practical for its use on set. I have mine in my camera case with my HVX, and I've flipped through it on more than one occassion while shooting.

So, go with the book for now - but the DVDs are really indispensible, and personally I find it easier to absorb this type of information in a video format than in a book.
So, yet again, I'd say get them both as soon as you can afford it.

I went with the book based on replies in this thread. Seems like a good idea to be able to keep it in my bag with the rest of my gear. So thanks guys.
