While the book focuses primarily on how to get the most out of your entry- and mid-level P2, XDCAM, and AVCHD camcorder, the principles and lessons covered such as shooting for green screen and understanding point of view apply just as well to video shooters and storytellers of any level.As apprenticeships in the industry have largely disappeared, aspiring shooters and film students have had to seek alternative sources for training and guidance. In Video Shooter, you will find a master teacher offering perceptive lessons with a healthy dose of inspiration; these pages are as close to a living and breathing mentor as one can get in a printed form.Hundreds of full-color photos and illustrations present the many lessons throughout the book.

Yes, I'm odd enough to enjoy the "tactile feel" of a good book :)The second thing you'll notice is the almost equal distribution between its t. "Mandatory for Your Video Production Library" according to PD. Yet again, another book on my buy list shows up in Vine for review. I was really hoping this guide would be a well-written insider's view to many of the aspects of video production, and that's exactly what it is. I've gotten a few other books on the same subject and they were so wordy and technical, they now collect dust. Barry Braverman has assembled an excellent g. "Not enough new material for me." according to Alexander Scott. I was disappointed in this, I had the first edition of this book and was jazzed up to dig into the new edition with all it's HD information. Sadly, after looking the book over quickly, I found there just wasn't enough information there compared to the previous edition to justify the purchase price; it's edition one reprinted in a different page format with some very
