This book, MASTERING MULTICAMERA TECHNIQUES, is a thoroughly comprehensive look at cinematography and the digital editing process. This is NOT one of those cheesy how-to-lighting books that seems to be given away with every camera ever made. No! This is cameramen and camerawomen taking you within inches of performers, like Paul McCartney and Elton John, in a live concert setting. This is backstage where gaffers and technicians set up their equipment and do sound check while engineers in the editing room monitor multiple camera angles over David Letterman's studio soundstage. This is part text-book, part insider's information, part university course for interested persons who'd like to work behind the scenes in film, theatre, television or perhaps to have the practical information on creating her/his own production company.
This really is a phenomenal book.
It is essentially a marriage between two departments: the audio/visual and the digital editing departments. Everything that you need, think you need and things you probably wouldn't have thought about are discussed here.
Preproduction. The author, Mitch Jacobson, discusses topics ranging from organizing personnel, the kinds of recording equipment, archiving to post-production facilities and costs.
Production. Types of multi-camera productions, setting up in various venues, studios and stadiums. The logistics of setting up equipment. "On Shoot Day," he discusses the floor plans from what tools to use to power the equipment, the location of the crew, to the art of "camera matching." Beautiful photographs show how various camera angles are fed and synched to the editing room where we see how the production of the David Letterman show is carried out.
In the world of film, you are often thrown headlong and hands-on into situations where you have to learn an aspect of the filming and editing process that you have never done before. Even if you are fairly familiar with cameras, camera rigs and various technical aspects behind the camera, when it comes time to put together the footage, using programs like Final Cut Pro have a fairly high learning curve in order to get the hang of what you are doing. Mastering Multi-Camera Techniques helps with all those things and so much more. Focal Press is the top publisher of film related titles and they have managed to deliver yet again on this book.
Even if you are just using two cameras for a shoot, you will find value - and if you have up to 26 cameras for a serious concert or film shoot, you are going to have witin the book various case studies with examples that show real situations where the techniques are being used - and not just discussed in theory. The book is profusely illustrated with four colour pictures of actual events, diagrams for lighting, formulas for multicamera set-ups.
You get tips and tricks for Adobe Premiere, how-tos for editing in Final Cut Pro (Apple) and Sony Vegas(PC) programs. If you are in the industry, it is a given that you need to be able to deal crossplatform because not every shop is going to use the same type of set up. Vegas and Final Cut are generally what the majority of filmmakers use, but there are mentions and examples of other systems that are not so widely used. Included with the book is a CD-ROM with bonus chapters, video tutorials, various free applications, and links to more resources and material.
I have yet to be disappointed with any of Focal Press' titles and this one is no different.
