Hillman Curtis on Creating Short Films for the Web - Prima edizione

The journey from Web guru to filmmaker isn't always a smooth one just ask the author of this book! In these pages, Web designer and Flash pioneer Hillman Curtis draws on his own experiences as a fledgling digital filmmaker to provide readers with an informative, real-world look at what it takes to create digital films for the Web using today's top tools, including Flash and Final Cut Pro. After showing users what tools they need and why in a short primer on equipment, Hillman dives straight in to the heart of the volume: 'Making Movies.' Each chapter in this section represents a short vignette about one of Hillman's real-world projects. From creating a portrait of a modern dance troupe to salvaging a boring shoot, Hillman's wry and witty tales from the trenches provide insight into both the inspiration and process behind each project. Readers learn about each shoot and its aftermath, gleaning loads of practical information along the way.
