Let the bells ring out and the banners fly. I know it's too good to be true, but it's here!
The textbook, "Mike's Textbook of Digital Video Production" (formally available as a pdf file on my website) has now been updated, improved with new graphics and released as a printed edition by McGraw Hill Publishing - one of the largest publishers of technical textbooks in North America.
The new book is titled, "Digital Filmmaking for Beginners: A Practical Guide to Video Production".
For those (like myself) who love to read their book electronically it will also be converted to ePub format in a few weeks and should be available at major bookstores on-line.
This comprehensive book is aimed at everyone from the beginner wanting to learn all they can to get into the digital filmmaking business to professionals who want to know about areas of filmmaking outside of their specialty.
Featuring clear, concise instruction - accompanied by online video demonstrations - this comprehensive guide covers the best methods and techniques to plan and script projects; set up lighting, microphones and cameras; and shoot, edit and apply postproduction effects and other finishing touches.
Whether you're an amateur film buff or an aspiring professional videographer, this is the source for everything you need to bring your ideas from the page to the screen.
I've been teaching filmmaking for well over 30 years - beginners and professionals alike - and have filled this book with the course material I've honed over the years as well as a ton of extra material.
If your local bookstore hasn't stocked it yet you can order it by it's ISBN number 978-0-07-179136-1.
