"..arguably the best introductory text available on this subject"
Journal of Educational Television

"Ahh! A readable, accessible, clearly written guide to producing economical video programs for students, industrial and public educators, cable TV producers and hobbyists"
Communicator magazine - USA

"If you were to buy just one video making handbook, this volume should probably rate among the front-runners from which to choose. Put simply, it's excellent in every way"

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly comprehensive, January 3, 2004
By A Customer
This book covers it all. It will take an interested videography student through every facet of putting together a video production project. There is indepth technical explanations and diagrams for camera usage, lighting your set & capturing the sound, as well as plenty of helpful advice on matters of process and taste.

This book is not digitally savvy. It covers proper technique and procedures, however it leaves the product choices up to you.

There is a lot of material in this book. The print is small, the pages are large, and there are plenty of them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good - but often old - non-digital era - point of view, May 14, 2009
Solid, very good standard info. However, you recognize that the basic concept of this book was written long time ago...

2.0 out of 5 stars Video Production Handbook - Review, November 11, 2006
Good book but the material is somewhat "old" - no longer cutting edge in my personal opinion. I would have purchased a different book given another choice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT buy the first edition.
I don't know what I was thinking. I bought a USED copy, but it was a first edition from 1987 or so. Editing was done by cutting tape! Read more
