Book Reviews of Sound for Digital Video

Book Review: Great, book, not for begginers though
Summary: 4 Stars

Essentialy, it is a great book: very well written with every piece of important information for working sound for video. The part on post-production is better than the initial one on sound recording. It is not a book for someone looking into learning the basics on sound for video, though. Some prior knowledge is required, I think.

Summary of Sound for Digital Video

The distinguishing feature of many low-budget films and TV shows is often the poor sound quality. Now, filmmakers shooting DV on a limited budget can learn from Tomlinson Holman, a film sound production pioneer, how to make their films sound like fully professional productions. Holman offers suggestions that you can apply to your own project from preproduction through postproduction and provides tips and solutions on production, editing, and mixing.

Holman, sound engineer on such films as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, is famous for his pioneering work in film sound production and for developing THX. Now, he brings his expertise to the relatively new field of sound for digital video productions. Once considered an amateur format, digital video is becoming the format of choice for some feature films and for many lower budget productions; this book will enable you to use this medium to create the most professional and effective sound possible.

*Learn how to get great sound on a limited budget, from the recognized expert in the field
*Provides tips and instructions for improving sound, from planning through mixing
*Includes CD with recording and editing exercises
