The Digital Filmmaking Handbook is a popular filmmaking textbook used in universities, colleges and high schools around the world. It’s been a top-rated bestseller since it was first published in 2000. It was written with students, indie filmmakers and industry professionals in mind and describes techniques and technology, useful for beginners and advanced students alike.
It provides information on how the pros work, but focuses primarily on equipment that is affordable for individuals and schools to buy or rent. It offers 600 pages of regularly-updated information on all aspects of filmmaking. It is designed as both a guide to making a film, from preproduction to final delivery, and a reference book, with a comprehensive glossary, index, and supplemental materials on the companion website, including tutorial media from actual films, archived essays on older technology, and an active blog that features short articles on new technology, product reviews and other timely matters.
