Since the dawn of film, novices and experts have used quick-and-dirty workarounds
and audiovisual tricks to improve their motion pictures, from home movies to feature
films. Today, the tools have certainly changed, as have the quality and scope
of the results. With digital video, the hacking possibilities are now limitless,
for both amateurs and professional artists. From acquiring footage, mixing, editing,
and adding effects, to final distribution, Digital Video Hacks provides unique
tips, tools, and techniques for every stage of video production. You'll learn
how to:
Get your projects started right using creative preparation tools and techniques,
from making your own Steadicam, boom, or dolly, to effective storyboarding,
timecoding, and tape labeling
Troubleshoot common shooting problems, including using stop-motion and time-lapse
techniques, lighting effects, colored screens and gels, and household objects
to establish mood or otherwise wow an audience
Create stunning visual effects, such as satellite zooming, surreal scenes, Matrix-like
bullet-time, and green screen illusions
Fool your audience with audio tricks, replacing flubbed dialogue, smoothing
over cuts, and covering missing audio with room tone
Add professional features with post-production tricks, including color correction,
soundtrack cleanup, opening sequences, and DVD bookmarks
Distribute final content in a variety of creative ways, from exporting to basic
videotape or DVD to streaming over the Internet or even via cell phone
Use the Web to provide interactivity and dynamic content, attend a remote conference,
or vlog your life.
Whether you're looking for a new technique to include in your next project,
a solution to a common problem, or just a little inspiration, this book reintroduces
you to the digital video you only thought you knew.
