Review

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. More of a checklist of things to considerBy John A Lee IIIThis book is definitely not a tutorial. It presupposes a certain degree of knowledge of video production. You dont have to know a great amount but you better know the basics. What it does do. however. it does well.Instead of explaining the various things that go into a video production studio. emphasis is placed of ideas to consider from the standpoint of designing or building a facility. Topics range from choice of cameras or microphones to types of lighting. control systems. ventilation and ease of use. For any given topic. there may be a very brief synopsis of the principles involved but do not expect to learn about the topics with any degree of thoroughness. Instead. it is more of a checklist of things to consider as you enter the design phase of a project.This volume will also not make anyone qualified to do the actual design work. There is an insufficiency of depth for that. Instead. it provides a general background which can prove useful when talking to a competent design professional or as a reminder of things to consider for a do it yourself project.Possibly the best audience for this book is a person or a company considering putting in video production facilities. After going through it. a much better idea of what to look for. ask for and aspire to is possible.
