From A to Z

This is a decent if plain-vanilla guide to digital video for beginners. It covers pretty much everything in the realm of home-made movies, from selecting a DV camcorder to shooting clips to capturing video to your PC to editing the final product to publishing. It's primarily a how-to guide, clearly written and illustrated. (The sample video shots are low-quality, though, esp. that ugly black/dark grey cat!) Following the advice in the book will familiarize you with teh tools and techniques, esp. if you are new to video editing. Of course, nothing supplants actually D.I.Y -- doing it yourself. This book provides a good primer and reference.
