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.
