Another resource from Michael Rubin is his online e-seminar at: http://ci.columbia.edu/ci/eseminars/0201_detail.html Developed by Columbia University and the American Film Institute, Digital Video: An Introduction features filmmaker, author, and lecturer Michael Rubin. This e-seminar is designed to help students complete a personal video project. Beginning with Michael Rubin's philosophy of "holistic video" (in which one person performs all the production tasks), the e-seminar offers how-to guidance in using digital video cameras and equipment, organizing material, and adding professional touches like music and titles. It also covers the principles of shooting and editing, including getting coverage, orchestrating different types of shots, and creating structure. -----Original Message----- From: Macintosh Digital Video List [mailto:MacDV at lists.themacintoshguy.com]On Behalf Of Daniel Beck Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 8:45 PM To: Macintosh Digital Video List Subject: [MacDV] Re: newby question On Friday, January 31, 2003, at 10:22 AM, Jonathan & Diana Long wrote: > I'm brand new to digital video... > > Is there a good basic guide online somewhere? As was previously mentioned, David Pogue's "iMovie2: The Missing Manual" is excellent. And though I haven't read it, I want to check out Michael Rubin's "The Little Digital Video Book". His "Beginner's Final Cut Pro" was really helpful in my switch to FCP.
