INTRODUCTION

I want you to capture extraordinary images and create great videos.

Whether you want to make a feature film, family video, or capture the first steps of your new son or daughter, I want you to be successful!

None of the things in this book are really secret. They are the things that “everyone knows,” but nobody tells you. I’ve been bitten by every one of these “secrets.” Each one of them cost me precious time, money and effort to learn.

I wrote this book because, after running a small local film festival for nearly ten years, and being a juror at an international film festival, I realized that I wasn’t alone in being “bitten.”

When I researched this book, I tested all sorts of cameras, from a $149 Flip camera with one button (“Record”) to a $3,000 Panasonic prosumer camera with dozens of buttons and menus. I learned that everyone has the same problems. Whether you are shooting with a toy video camera or a prosumer camera, you have to solve these problems.

This book will show you how to:

• Shoot fluently and confidently

• Shoot visually pleasing and compelling images

• Record clear and vivid sound

• Shoot footage that has continuity from shot to shot

• Shoot footage that is editable

• Choose the best camera for you
