The five essential steps in digital video
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : OHIO DENISE
Five Essential Steps in Digital Video offers more than any other DV book on the market by completely covering all aspects of videography and production, including digital video camcorders, editing, and Internet for distribution, research, financing, and much more.
- Other books fail to recognize that DV isnt just a format-its a new way of making videos.
- This book will give independent producers, prosumers and consumers, novices, and dreamers concrete, detailed direction from someone who has solid experience choosing and using DV equipment, shooting, and producing movies, documentaries, and shorts, in digital video and using digital tools.
- Also included will be a DVD with a short DV movie and the "making of" documentary all shot, produced, and edited by the author, using the steps in the book.
Denise Ohio is a writer, producer, director, DP, location audio technician, editor, and composer, and often does all of these jobs on her DV projects. In 1996, she made one of the first digital video features in the world, Amazing World. It has screened in film festivals in Montevideo, Montreal, Toronto, Paris, London, and Philadelphia. Ohio also made Family Business, a documentary. It is making the rounds of the festival circuit and is under consideration by P.O.V. She is co-designing and prototyping an energy-efficient cinema lighting system that addresses the special needs of independent DV moviemakers.
