Great for shooting technique but not for DV editing Feb 20, 2001
Excellent book for beginners & intermediates to video shooting. Covers all basics such as lighting, composition, audio, panning, shooting for different specific situations etc. Lots of diagrams and pictures that author uses to illustrate points.

However the editing section is only aimed at analog devices. There is no information on digital video cameras or frame rates and fields etc for PC based DV editing.

Terrific manual for using your camcorder and editing! Nov 16, 1996
I found this to be a terific manual for using your camcorder and editing your videos. The only drawback is that there isn't a sequel in print at this time! More! I film, produce, host and edit a local access television show and this book helped tremendously. It is written to address the beginners questions as well as the "imtermediate" level. The local access television station is ordering more for manuals. Deborah Goodell, Critter Connection
