Title: Should be called "Producing Digital Video"
Review: 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.
