$30 Film School Book/DVD Package 2nd Edition

Description

Filmmaking is entering a new era. Mini-DV filmmaking is the new folk music, the new punk rock, the new medium in which anyone can tell their story. "$30 Dollar Film School, Second Edition" is an alternative to spending four years and a hundred-thousand dollars to learn the filmmaking trade. It is influenced by punk rock's "Do-it-Yourself" spirit of just learning the basics and then jumping up on a stage and making a point; and by the essence of the American work ethic. This new edition of the bestselling title includes new, improved, and updated chapters on video and audio editing, plus a companion DVD-Rom loaded with movies, shorts, and trailers from "graduates" of the first edition.
