Description
Although the number of budding filmmakers and the availability
of digital video technology are growing, there are currently no
books that encapsulate the process of creating a feature-length
film using only a video camera and a home computer. Whether you
are an amateur filmmaker or a computer enthusiast, "Desktop
Cinema: Feature Filmmaking on a Home Computer" shows you how to
create a feature or short film from start to finish using only
home computer technology. Using his own film, "Able Edwards," as
a model, the author illustrates step-by-step each stage of the
filmmaking process, covering story, pre-production, production,
post-production, and distribution. This book shows you how to
explore and use the readily available software and other
technology tools effectively. The author's use of his own film
makes the processes involved seem realistic and attainable and
allows you to really see what works and what doesn't. An
accompanying CD/DVD that features both the "Able Edwards"
trailer and green screen reveals make "Desktop Cinema: Feature
Filmmaking on a Home Computer" a comprehensive guide to digital
filmmaking.
