Résumé
As part of the CyberRookies series (ages 12-19), this book provides music and movie enthusiasts with hands-on instructions for making their own creative videos. Making Digital Videos is written to teach the skills and techniques needed to make high-quality, video productions, including short parodies, music videos, skits, home movies, and more. No matter which type of production you want to produce, you need to learn all of the same things: how to make a good story, how to translate your story into images, how to capture the images, and how to turn the images into a finished piece. All of these questions are answered here including the hardware and software needed (freeware and shareware including Apple's QuickTime, etc.), and how to add lighting, sound, and special effects. Through hands-on tutorials and sample footage, you'll learn how to write and plan your production, from creating the story to editing the final product. You'll also find how out how to deliver your masterpiece to friends and family on tape, CD, DVD, or the Web. If you've ever wanted to create your own movie or music video, you've come to the right place.
