Personal Review: DV Filmmaking: From Start to Finish (OReilly
Digital Studio) by Ian Aronson
"DV Filmaking from Start to Finish" is a !!MASTERPIECE!!. It is a book I
recommend to anyone interested in Digital Video. Reading the book was
like having Mr. Ian David Aronson in your room sharing with you all of his
knowledge.
This book it's not a 18 chapter tutorial on learning Final Cut Pro or After
Effects. It's more like traveling back in time and learning from the history of
Digital Video to the present day. Aronson show's everything, from film to
video, the way you should treat your camera, what you should be
prepared with; lighting, greenscreen, Hardware, white balance, DVD
authoring,
aspect ratios, you name it, including some basic tutorials on doing
edits.
He even gives you an internet address to look and confirm what he is
showing
you.
If you are an advanced editor, this book is for you. This book is for to
read,
learn and keep it forever just in case you forget a detail, so you can
review it again and again. I was amazed with the things I have learned
from
Mr.
Aronson. Thank you and I'll hope to read another book from him.
