Musicians Video HandBook/DVD (Softcover Book/DVD)

The Musician's Video Handbook (another title in Bobby Owsinski's successful Handbook series) describes everything a musician needs to know to easily make any of the various types of videos that are now required of a musical artist for promotion. From creating a club video, shooting a pro-quality music video, or creating an electronic press kit, this book shows you how to do it right by demonstrating the tricks and tips used by the pros to make a professional-looking video – even with inexpensive gear and limited resources.

The book provides easy-to-grasp basics of camera gear, lighting, and audio, and an overview of production and post-production techniques that even novices can utilize. Issues covered include types of cameras, lighting the band, editing techniques, permissions and releases, and much more. Features easy-to-understand explanations geared to musicians and performers; interviews with video-music pros; and an instructional DVD.

A third of the book features exclusive interviews with well-known producers and editors who share their techniques with the reader. The accompanying DVD takes the viewer through each phase of the production and post-production processes and provides tricks and tips from some of the best video producers in the business.
