The Little Digital Video Book Second Edition

This completely revised edition of the bestselling book The Little Digital Video Book by Michael Rubin shows readers how to make great videos for family, school, work, or just for fun
Digital video expert Rubin puts the power of video storytelling into readers’ hands by demystifying filmmaking so that even the busiest parent or weekend video hobbyist can produce impressive movies in just a few hours. Readers will learn that all they need to start creating videos is a digital video camera and a computer equipped with video-editing software—and this book.
The second edition of The Little Digital Video Book, is not only improved and updated, but now consists of a book, a blog and a community. The accompanying blog includes many video examples from the book as well as the author’s latest observations and explorations in video, which ensures that the content is always topical and fresh. There is even a community connected to the blog where readers can post their videos.
Author Michael Rubin said, “Everyone in this media age should understand how video is shot and edited to make the stuff we see on TV and the Internet. Anyone can do it. You don't have to want to be the next Steven Spielberg to benefit from mastering video."
The Little Digital Video Book, Second Edition is now available at peachpit.com, Amazon.com, and as an eBook via Safari Books Online.
