Producing Great Sound for Digital Video... 1578202086]

Thanks for including me. I have to point out, though, that those are obsolete editions.

Newer versions of both have totally been reworked, and include a lot of new material dealing with the merging of film and video techniques on narrative projects.

Producing Great Sound for Film & Video, 3rd ed ISBN 9780240809700;

Audio Postproduction for Film and Video, 2nd ed ISBN 9780240809717;

Both are now Focal Press, both include audio CDs with tutorials and diagnostics.

Please don't buy the older editions. I don't mind if you buy used copies of the newer ones. (This is about your getting current info, not my earning a couple of bucks royalty on each.)

I wish I had thought of this book list. Oh, wait... :-

One could say that without the initial compilation you and a few others provided, the list in this thread may never have come about. I think most members here appreciate all of the work many frequenters of this site put into maintaining, expanding, and contributing.

Marc, i think you got me wrong. I never meant to present the list as "my work" (which would be hilarous) - I just tried to help by compiling the stuff, asked everyone to contribute but keep the formatting etc - so that maybe it could become the "one-stop reading resource", which wouldn't have to be posted over and over.

I had this info at the very top of the list. There, I also stated that it's compiled mainly from Marc's posts, plus a few scattered ones, and asked if it was a good idea at all. After Jeff put the list into the "resource" section, I removed my statement, as I figured everything was approved - I just wanted the list to be as clean as possible. Sorry if the removal of the initial statement has lead to bad vibes.

Cheers

Mike

Video for what? Editing? Color correction? Post production in general? Visual Effects? Camera operation? It's a big area.

Haha, no no no, sorry, I meant tutorials on the topic of location sound, for aspiring location sound recordists and boom operators. So far I've seen this one:

Now Hear This: Superior Sound for Digital Video

Hiding lavs?

Indeed, that would be lovely!
