Читать книгу The DSLR Filmmaker's Handbook - Andersson Barry - Страница 5

I could not have written this book without the help and support of many people. First, I need to thank Janie L. Geyen, who coauthored the first edition of this book. Without her tireless dedication, patience, passion, and support, this book would have never made it off the ground.

I also want thank my kids, Trinity and Stonewall, for being so patient with me during the whole writing experience as well as being good subjects in so many of the examples and testing over the past couple of years.

I must also thank the contributors, Michael Heagle and Daniel Brown. Michael wrote the chapter on fixing it in post and did a superb job of making the subject matter of post-production seem to be no problem at all. Daniel wrote the entire section about shooting underwater photos and video. His many years of experience were invaluable and distilled to a point where we believe anyone reading his tips will be well on their way to top-quality underwater images.

I also want to thank some of my close friends who allowed me to share some of their invaluable knowledge with their permission. Shane and Lydia Hurlbut and their top-of-the-line Hurlbut Visuals Elite team were awesome. They are leaders in the field and helped us tremendously in better learning the DSLR video cameras and workflows; I also gleaned information from their blog at www.hurlbutvisuals.com. Additionally, Chris Fenwick, editor extraordinaire, was invaluable in helping with a simplified workflow for compressing final images and getting them ready for multiple devices. Thanks to Scott Sheppard for the many hours of assistance in helping set up test after test and being a sounding board for everything from lenses to editing to compression to color and more, to Milo Durben for his invaluable knowledge of gripping and rigging and the patience for all the images we had to take during the course of writing the book, and to Jack Boniface for being a great sounding board and a great help with consulting on the audio portions of the book.

I also cannot thank enough our cast and crew of The Shamus for their outstanding performances and their patience in working with a young technology so early in the DSLR game: to our actors, Charles Hubble, Greg Hain, Emily Tyra, Sarah Richardson, Sam Landman, Sasha Andreev, and the many other outstanding actors; and to our crew, Michael Dvork, Ryan Dodge, Tammy Hollingsworth, Deena Graf, Thomas Popp, and the rest of the gang who helped make the film such a joy to work on.

Additional thanks to Julien Lasseur, Anne Gaither, Jeff Lalier, Antonio Aguirre, Rachel Weber, Michael Patrick McCaffrey, David Svenson, Scott Citron, Richard Schleuning, and Nocole Balle from Carl Zeiss, Brian Valente from Redrock Micro, Rick Booth and Dan Ikeda from Tiffen/Steadicam, Garrett Brown for his lifetime dedication to the perfection of movement in film, John Peters, Matthew Duclos from Duclos Lenses, Joel Svendsen from Rosco, Steve Holmes, and Lee Varis.

Lastly, I have to thank my great friend and DSLR video champion Mitch Aunger and his website Planet5D.com. It is the must-read blog and information resource on the Web. Bookmark the site and visit it often.

Of course, the book wouldn’t have been possible at all without the Sybex team: Mariann Barsolo, acquisitions editor; Kim Wimpsett, developmental editor; Dassi Zeidel, production editor; Linda Recktenwald, copy editor; Amy Schneider, proofreader; and the compositors at Happenstance Type-O-Rama. I also want to thank the technical editor on this edition, Robert Correll.
