This is a smartly-written, uniquely accessible account of the quirky world of audio acquisition and production for film and video. A well-healed veteran of the film audio discipline, Woody Woodhall manages not only to diligently cover the nuts and bolts of producing and posting audio for film, but he goes well beyond, providing valuable insight to prevent the would-be audio technician from costly mistakes and oversights. That said, he keeps things simple and straightforward enough to digest and move on to the more important step of practicing the techniques described.
As with any production-related book, 'Audio Production and Post-Production' covers the tools and techniques required to produce a quality film soundtrack. Unlike other books, it discusses the intangibles that might trip up the uninitiated. Rather than immediately delving into the technical elements, the author covers the equally essential aspects of planning, crew dynamics and resource management (to name a few.) He does all of this while maintaining an objective-oriented approach, taking the time and space to ensure the reader understands how it all relates to the goal of a quality audio project (and indeed to the film itself) to ultimately tell the story.
What's remarkable about this comprehensive perspective is the simple yet universal manner in which it is eloquently written. For example, rather than getting mired down in a technical overview of the most-expensive, cutting-edge piece of editing software available (likely to be obsolete upon first reading), the author relates editing principles to Final Cut Express, assuming that, even without an operator's manual, the reader can easily relate the techniques to their chosen platform.
