Summary:
Considered by some to be the definitive book on the subject, 'Producing and Directing the Short Film and Video' illustrates in detail the steps involved in preproduction, production, post-production, and distribution. Its unique two-fold approach looks at filmmaking from the perspectives of both producer and director, and explains how their separate energies must combine to create a successful short film or video, from script to final product. This guide offers examples from award-winning shorts and includes quotes from the filmmakers themselves describing the problems they encountered and how they solved them.
