¦Thoroughly covers both the art and science of making great videos.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good textual guide in need of illustrations and update, September 14, 1998
By 
This review is from: Videomaker Handbook, The: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO MAKING VIDEO (Paperback)
Just finished reading this very good guide to video makers of most levels. I found the book to be of great help explining the basics as well as more "pro" tricks of the trade. Maybe a bit too much mateial here for a casual amateur video person like myself, filming my son from time to time.

The book is sadly lacking illustrations and that could really have helped in conveying this material in a more informative way. An update in the desktop editing topic would probably not hurt either.
