More About the Author

Michael Sean Kaminsky is a Brooklyn based writer, video blogger and filmmaker. Sean, as he is more often known, has his B.A. in Film & Television from the University of British Columbia in Canada and his M.A. in Media and Communications from the European Graduate School in Switzerland. He has produced and/or directed documentary projects for networks ranging from HBO to Sundance Channel to MTV's LOGO.

Sean's passion for filmmaking was born when his grandfather - a filmmaker and photographer - screened a collection of his Super 8 films that spanned over fifty years of family history. Soon enough, his grandfather gave him an old camera and Sean was making his own experimental films in his back yard in Winnipeg, Canada.

Throughout his life, Sean has kept a written journal and in 1996 began experimenting with video journaling as a way to increase creativity and engage in self-exploration. This practice, combined with experiences he had videoing documentary subjects and the YouTube phenomenon, ultimately coalesced to inspire his M.A. Thesis, the development of the 'Video Regeneration' workshop and ultimately the writing of 'Naked Lens', his first book.

Kaminsky is currently launching an intensive version of the 'Video Regeneration' workshop as well as starting a new documentary project. He began using 'Sean' as a nickname while living in an artist's collective in the Mission district of San Francisco in the mid-nineties...there were four other Michaels.

I was initially drawn to this book for the simple reason that I thought it might assist me in making an intelligent choice in my purchase of a 3D camera. These little devices are frightfully expensive, and, when comparing one to another, often quite confusing. Well, "Shoot 3D Video Like a Pro" addressed my concerns most efficiently, and, furthermore, offered me a plethora of other knowledge.... a succinct who, what, where, when, why and how of three-dimensional visual optics, from 300 BC to present.

The book walks the reader through every phase of planning and purchasing a 3D camera, choosing the right unit, setting up and utilizing your 3D camera to achieve optimum results. Including lighting, sound, and editing. There are even chapters that offer assistance in planning projects and going into the business of 3D movie making. For a book that contains a mere 134 pages, it is a treasure trove of information.

If you are not wanting to purchase a shelf full of specialty volumes, which may take six months to a year to consume, then you should pick up a copy of this thoroughly comprehensive and delightfully compendious book, read it two or three times over, and keep it handy for thumbing. Afterwards, when you pick up a 3D camera you'll actually feel like you know what your doing.
You will even be able to comprehend the technical terminology, as Mr. Kaminsky also included a chapter on "Jargon and lingo" that covers 3MOS to Z Axis. A great all inclusive effort that is well worth the price.

I was frustrated after trying to capture 3d videos using a 3d camcorder, so much so that I went ahead and sought help in a book.
This book definitely taught me a lot about the subject.

First off, it's written by a guy who shoots films for a living and while he does pepper some technical details here and there, the book is mostly all about what you need to know to get the job done.

Who knew you need to think differently about capturing video if it's in 2d or 3d? Well that's why I'm guessing most of us get crappy 3d videos and that's one of the major things I learnt from this book.

It also has quick tips and pointers to make you shoot good 3d videos almost immediately.

It's not the most technically comprehensive book out there on the subject, but it worked fine for me. It doesn't take long to read, and with those quick tips even I got great 3d videos of our latest family get together :)

There's also a terrific section on how best to shoot really important events such as weddings, vacations etc.

I wasn't too keen on the 'how to make money shooting 3d videos' section, but I guess if you're into that it can come in handy. What is impressive is the section where the author interviews professional 3d film makers that offer some of their insights.

All in all, the book gave me a boost in my 3d shooting abilities almost instantly, and was well worth it for me.
