Synopsis

A guide to producing video digitally, from scripting to finishing -- this book provides a comprehensive explanation of how "digital" affects the process at every step, and how computer-based tools and techniques can be used throughout to speed overall production.

As the digital era in media production approaches maturity over the next few years, computer-based tools covering the entire production process -- from scripting to finishing -- are becoming commonplace. While many books have been published covering specific areas of the digital production workflow such as nonlinear editing or pre-production methods, no single comprehensive volume has yet been published. This book will fill that gap, providing professionals and students alike with a useful guide to the overall changes taking place.
