Digital Guerrilla Video: A Grassroots Guide to the Revolution
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Part of the DV Magazine Expert Series, and written by someone who's lost a lot of blood on the front lines of the digital video revolution, Digital Guerrilla Video describes the history, tools, and techniques you can use to make a professional, cutting-edge video.
The book covers the technical requirements like gathering source footage and images, learning to manage them as a resource, editing fundamentals, post-production effects, and audio post-production. It even provides avenues for the finished product, offering insight that draws upon experience and suggests the "shameless self-promotion" needed to make a name in the field.
If you are looking for a training manual on configuring a digital video system using an editing package, this is probably not the book you need. Short on system specifics, it describes the whole playing field and techniques to getting the production done, not how to do it using the latest version of VideoBlahBlahPro 5.3.
There is something special about witnessing the birth of a revolution, about being on the leading edge of a new media power shift. If nothing else, you can accumulate more experience and war stories than those who come after--if you survive the first transitional upheaval. Digital Guerrilla Video, written by one experienced survivor, comes just after the first wave in the digital video revolution: the weapons are cheap and accessible, and the revolutionaries are lining up.
Think of this book as boot camp, a training ground, a survival guide. To the independent filmmaker with little or no digital experience, don't go into the jungle without this book. --Mike Caputo
