Who hasn’t dreamed about making a movie?
Not just for the thrill of it, but as a way to get your story out into the world, the story that only youcan tell. We’ll show you how to navigate the world of independent filmmaking, from script to screen.
The Digital Filmmaking Handbook will help you make the movie you’ve been dreaming about.
For this edition, we’ve focused on soft skills: developing a project, writing a compelling story, working with actors, the special challenges of directing. After all, these are the things that really matter in the end–skills that help you tell any story. But don’t worry, you can’t keep up away from technology and a lot has changed since the last edition. Digital cinema cameras keep getting better and there are important changes to the workflow from set to editing room. The internet of things continues to improve gear, from remote controllable lighting to GPS-based motion tracking and live virtual sets–it’s an exciting time to be a filmmaker!
This book is organized into three parts, just like the process of making a film:
Pre-Production (Chapters 1-4) is when you will make all the decisions necessary to start shooting: producing, writing, understanding the basics of digital media technology, planning, scheduling, storyboarding, location scouting, and production design.
Production (Chapters 5-11) covers the principal shoot of your project: working with actors, lighting, choosing then using the camera, framing and content, recording sound, a special chapter on advanced shooting situations—drones, multiple cameras, VR, and live virtual production—and of course, directing and managing the set.
Post-Production (Chapters 12-18) covers the editing and finishing of your project. We’ll give you an overview of the post process, offer a guide to setting up workstations and equipment, discuss organizing and managing media, and detail the process of editing, sound design, color grading, titles, special effects, and both DIY and high-end delivery of the finished product—everything from streaming video to festivals to a projected digital cinema screening in a theater.
The Digital Filmmaking Handbook is here to help you navigate the complex but increasingly unlimited landscape of independent filmmaking, whether you’re making a short, a series, or a feature film.
The Digital Filmmaking Handbook is a top-rated bestseller. It’s been in print for over 20 years. It offers 450 pages of regularly updated information on all aspects of filmmaking. It’s even spawned a series of companion books: The Digital Filmmaking Handbook Presents.
Oh, and it’s in full color. Finally.

Nathyn Masters –
This is a great book for anyone getting into digital filmmaking. I bought this just to have it. I had one of the previous versions and gave it away. I just keep it around as to get the creative juices flowing. It’s a down to earth book that breaks everything into bite size pieces. It’s not super tech heavy, and explains all the jargon. I’ve been thinking about getting back into filmmaking and read through this every once and awhile. If you’re just starting good idea is pairing this with Gael Chandler’s Cut by Cut and the DV Rebel’s Guide by Stu Maschwitz. Reading Rebel without a Crew by Robert Rodriguez is always good for inspiration.-Nathyn Brendan MastersNight Phoenix Press

The paperback version of this new edition is not printed correctly and has missing text at the edges of the pages. This makes the paperback basically useless.
