Although the number of budding filmmakers and the availability of digital video technology are growing, there are currently no books that encapsulate the process of creating a feature-length film using only a video camera and a home computer. �Desktop Cinema: Feature Filmmaking on a Home Computer� shows amateur filmmakers and computer enthusiasts alike how to create a feature or short film from start to finish using only home computer technology. Using his own film, �Able Edwards,� as a model, the author illustrates step-by-step each stage of the filmmaking process, covering story, pre-production, production, post-production, and distribution. This book shows readers how to explore and use the readily available software and other technology tools effectively. The author�s use of his own film makes the processes involved seem realistic and attainable and allows the reader to really see what works and what doesn�t. An accompanying CD/DVD that features both the �Able Edwards� trailer and green screen reveals make �Desktop Cinema: Feature Filmmaking on a Home Computer� a comprehensive guide to digital filmmaking.
