Producing 24p Video: Covers the Canon XL2 and the Panasonic DVX-100a (DV Expert Series)

Customer Reviews:

Should be called "Producing Digital Video"

By Tommy Thumb - February 2, 2006

I waited and waited to purchase this book because I had recently bought a Canon XL2 and wanted to know how to get that "film look" by shooting in 24p. After several months of delays, the book was finally released and I bought it. When I read through it I realized that this book was not what the title said it was. 95% of this book talks about the basics of film making; use of wide angle and telephoto lenes, continuity, lighting, etc. While helpful in its own right, this is not why I bought the book. There are maybe two chapters that talk about getting the film look for digital video. I probably could have gotten more detailed instruction off of message boards and newsgroups.

If you're looking for a "how to" when it comes to 24p, pass on this book. Save the money and do some investigating on the web. I'm sure you'll find a number of sources that will be able to walk you through the process and you may even get individual instruction.

Title very misleading/Not much care taken to develop book

By A. Spirk - March 2, 2007

I purchased this book assuming that it would cover 24p, as in the book would be about 24p and the process from camera to screen. I had to spend 90% of my time going through the book and identifying which parts were about 24p and which were rudimentary and simplistic overviews of film making. I was very disappointed when I went through the entire book (skipping a lot of sections because I didn't buy the book to show me all the different 'amazing' kinds of dolly's are out for rent). The book is also RIDDLED with spelling errors and mis-edits such as; meaning to say "The most important thing about shooting on 24p is to make sure you're shooting with a 24p camera" and having it written "The most important thing about make sure you're shooting with a 24p camera". That line is not in the book of course, but it's an example of how, even as an experienced filmmaker I am just confused and have to pause and think about what I just read and what the author Mr. Skidgel was trying to get... read more
