Juul - E- BookBeat

Thanks to the good people at Focal Press I’m happy to announce this blog’s first ever prize-winning competition! For a chance to win a set of three of the DIT books reviewed in this post, simply sign up for the blog’s email newsletter before the end of February 2015 and 3 lucky readers will be picked at random. If you’re already signed up (smart decision!) you’re auto-enrolled. You can, of course, unsubscribe at any time, but the best part of being a subscriber is that you’ll never miss a post. To enter the competition scroll to the top right of the blog’s sidebar and enter your email address in the box and hit ‘Subscribe’… UPDATE: – Robert Trim has said that he will add his book, Digital Imaging Technician to the prize draw too. So three lucky readers could walk away with all of the books reviewed here!ditbornetoj The Digital Imaging Technician – Robert L Trim One of my favourite things about the book is that it’s an informal and fast read, that will give you tons of practical knowledge and fine grain DIT wisdom as you make your way through the contents, tutorials and practice media that go along with it. And because it’s an ebook, those tutorials are available in a single click, as are other articles and links that the book recommends. Another bonus to the book are the revision questions at the end of some of the chapters, which test your knowledge through some multiple choice questions, which helps to cement in your learning. Although it’s not as extensive as Blain Brown’s The Filmmakers Guide To Digital Imaging, it is still very much worth buying if you’re serious about becoming a DIT as you will learn things in this book you won’t learn elsewhere. Digital Imaging Technician is actually a little more detailed in some of the practical aspects of a DIT’s day to day workload – such as exactly how to set up you file and folder structures and step-by-step guides to using Assimilate Scratch or REDCINE-X to create dailies.
