This book was written for people that have no clue what a computer, a video camera, or a movie is. It is written for the very inexperienced or novice–the people that should not be making movies to begin with.
But it is packed with information a 7 year old or 88 year old can understand, and it is 95% close to being accurate. I guess if one needs to start somewhere, here it is, but after reading it, please do not make your first movie to send to festivals, make as many as you can, practice, practice, practice, then get a real book. Digital Filmmaking 101, Digital Moviemaking, Independent Filmmakers Manual, and so forth before getting into the movie making world–please.

For the beginnner this book is probably too advanced. It already assumes an understanding of photo principles such as depth of field, some knowledge of linear editing, etc. For those with knowledge over an above this it is a goldmine however. It provide state-of-the-art overviews of techniques at every stage of digital filmmaking (cinematraphy, sound, linear editign, post-sound, etc.). Much of this is very useful even for those with considerable experience and hence can be used as a very good reference. For example, frame sizes to import stills (used for credits0 and photoshop integration are discussed. One hence finds this as a very useful reference that can be used extensively.

nice reference guide. the oldschool pinkus book is probably better, although less focused on video.
