PeachPit has a new book targeted at photographers who want to move into the video business. It is called, From Still to Motion. You can get the free chapter “Playing with the Light” here.
Judging by the content of the sample chapter, it seems to be targeted more toward the pro / serious videographer but the lighting concepts hold true what ever the gear you use, from Kino Flo lights to DIY setups.
Take a moment to download the sample chapter and read it. If you like it, you can pre-order the book here. I will have a full review once I receive my copy.












Are there any good introduction books to DSLR videography for people like me who know the photo side of things but are complete noobs as far as video is concerned? A list, or even a number of reviews, would be greatly appreciated.
Our book, From Still to Motion, is clearly targeted at photographers of all levels. It is also the only book on the market (and includes several hours of training videos with it).
Give it a shot.
Thanks for the clarification Richard. I applied for a review copy, hope to get one soon!
No problem… the Full Table of Contents is here
