Once
we have our own DVDs and other products, this is where we'll have
them for sale. Meanwhile, I'll put books and other resources for
sale online here.
$30
Film School
by
Michael Dean - Brilliant! Very inspiring book that covers
a huge range of issues to do with making your own NO budget independent
movie on digital video. It includes a CD and costs even less than
the $30 the title proclaims :)
Getting
Permission
(How To License & Clear Copyrighted Materials Online &
Off)
by Richard Stim - If you want to use other people's material
in your own work, you'll need this book or one similar.
The
Public Domain
(How
to Find & Use Copyright-Free Writings, Music, Art & More)
by Stephen Fishman - The term "Public Domain"
is so often misused. This book will help you to work out what
really IS Public Domain so that you can work out what material
you can use in your own work without incurring any copyright problems.
This is especially useful if, like us, you have a taste for incorporating
vintage material into your work.
We
don't recommend that you necessarily need the following
pro video software, as it's pretty expensive & we only bought
it when we started doing video clips and DVD production. You can
buy each program seperately, but it's a lot cheaper to buy them
all at once as a Collection. It's a great suite if you can afford
it, as it all integrates together beautifully:
Adobe
Video Pro Collection
consisting of (various versions available, have slightly different
component software):
Adobe
Premiere Pro
- Industry standard video editing software. There are much cheaper,
but obviously less powerful versions available - Premiere
and Premiere
Elements.
Premiere
Encore
- DVD authoring software. Easy to use and a lot more sophisticated
than the other software we're tried to use without a great deal
of success.
Premiere
Audition
- Sound editing software that includes Surround-Sound capability
(multiple channel output).
Premiere
Photoshop CS
- Nice to get it in the package, but I still prefer Paintshop
Pro :)
Premiere
After Effects
- I LOVE LOVE LOVE this program. It's sort of like Photoshop,
but with a timeline. It's so easy to animate still images, put
text over video and a million other things. So many uses, and
nowhere near as difficult as something like Flash to get used
to, if you're familiar with Photoshop
