Customer Review: I found the manual to be very helpful and it answered some
questions for me that I had about iMovie that I hadn't found
anywhere else. I didn't like the answers, but it solved a long
ongoing problem I have had with using iMovie 08. The manual is easy
to read and follow, for... more info
Customer Review: iMovie 6 & IDVD: The Missing Manual is not what I consider David
Pogue's best work. It is a bit off the mark, spending a great deal of
time on issues related to camcorders to the detriment of the applications.
I would prefer a manual, missing or otherwise, that would apply... more info
Customer Review: Another fantastic book from Focal Press. This book by Jason J. Tomaric is a fantastic resource guide, covering all aspects of filmmaking from start to finish. Well written, and a DVD loaded with extras! Don't make an independent movie without it! Highly recommended!

The book consists of several exercises that you can work along with. Most of the "tutorials" are strictly, "do this, then do that", without much... more info
Customer Review: This is a very well written book on digital TV for the intermediate student or reader. It steers a middle course between the more technical or professional level TV books, such as the well known Whitaker volume published by McGraw Hill, and the more basic books such as The Dummies guides. For me, it... more info
Customer Review: With the doors opening to a new world of independent moviemaking...and the resulting search for distribution, this is a must-read primer on what you need to do to prepare for possible self-distribution. Sometimes that can be more profitable than a half-baked distribution deal. Most moviemakers don't... more info
