This is a book witch gives you the confidence that it stands beside you all the way in order to give you a clear, tested, working and in a professional level guidance of what and most important HOW someone has to deal with when digital filmmaking. Unlike many books, this one has not been written with any taboo most professionals have. On the contrary it gives you all the directions and secrets you need, in order to understand, to search or experimentise, or expertise yourself in order to make serious work with a digital camera. How to shoot your digital footage (camera choice, lighting, framing, scripting...), it guides you through the ways to import and manipulate this footage in a professional manner in your home PC (editing, synchronizing, special effects...), whether you are a low or high budget. Least but not last it ends in every detail with the different types of media your footage can end with (theatrical release, web, cd's and so on). It even gives you tip's on how one can promote his digital artwork. Those people have done a beautiful job.
