Title: Very helpful to avoid common mistakes with the HDV format
Product review: I've read another book about HDV but this one was much better - it's written in plain english, it's easy to understand and follow, and it has helped me avoid a lot of the mistakes that other members of my film club have made with the format.There's no fluff or filler, it's all great content, which I really appreciated. I hate books that beat around the bush, using 20 words when one will suffice. Mr Lock gets straight to the point, and the information you need is easy to find as a result. After reading this book you'll be better educated about HDV than 90% of semi-professionals.I particularly enjoyed the section on how to get the film look, as well as the chapter on outputting hdv to DVD for distribution. A number of questions that I had that no one was able to answer in public forums were covered in depth and very helpfully in this book, so I was very impressed about that.
