LEARN DIGITAL VIDEO PRODUCTION FROM AN EXPERT WHO HAS BEEN PRODUCING
VIDEOS AND TEACHING OTHERS HOW TO DO IT FOR OVER 30 YEARS!
DEAR FELLOW DIGITAL VIDEO ENTHUSIAST,
Many years ago, when I wanted to become a film maker, there was no
film and television school or formal training in film production
available.
I didn’t want to be just a director, just a camera operator or just
an editor. I wanted to do it all!
When I was learning I knew that to get good at it, I needed to find
out where to start, exactly what skills and knowledge I needed to
learn and what equipment and software would be required. So I used my
background in television production, photography, film making and
video editing production as the foundation of what I needed to learn
and eventually what to teach to others.
I am now about to enter my fourth decade as a professional producer
of film and video programs and creator of videos for my clients and I
have been teaching eager students how to make videos in filmmaking
school for over 30 years.
Now – for the first time – I am making my course material and
accumulated knowledge of over 35 years in the
digital video production business available to you!
“MIKE’S TEXTBOOK OF DIGITAL VIDEO PRODUCTION”
I have written a textbook on how to make videos which has
everything you need to learn how to plan, shoot, edit and package
exciting and stimulating PROFESSIONAL digital video programs. _ _
This book contains a ton of information I have gleaned from actual
digital video production experiences over the years. I designed my
courses and taught my students from this wealth of experience, but
this book contains scads more information than I could ever have
taught in my live classes.
You will learn the best ways of planning and scripting your project .
. . how to set up lighting, microphones and the camera . . . how to
shoot your program so that all of the necessary shots are available
for editing . . . and post production techniques that will result in a
finished program that you can truly call _FABULOUS!_
This is not a coffee table book with just an overview of each topic,
but a comprehensive textbook, jam-packed with everything you need to
JUMP-START A HOBBY . . . or a full-blown CAREER IN DIGITAL VIDEO
PRODUCTION.
“As an artist, musician, videographer, sound and lighting
technician, editor, animator, graphics designer, author and instructor
in video production, Mike is the first true “Renaissance Man” I
have met in my 30+ years in this business. I am a retired executive
television producer who wanted to learn how to do all of the things
that I used to hire others to do. Mike was the one teacher who taught
me with patience, humor and a vast base of knowledge and experience.
Mike’s book is the most user friendly and functionally efficient
“how to” film/video production book in my library. You can pick a
section, print it out, take it into the field, studio or editing bay
and get to work. Or begin at chapter one and advance chapter by
chapter until “Fade Out”. Mike has made it easy for the novice and
as a refresher for the experienced professional.”
- JB Krause, USA

of educational design, having been culled from over 30 years of

School.
_“I’m basically a Jack of All Trades in the production business
having a great deal of experience in production design and scripting,
camera operation, lighting, directing and many aspects of post
production including video editing production techniques like sound
mixing, graphic design and animation and even doing many of the
voice-overs for the corporate productions I’ve worked on over the
years.”_

“Mike Hughes has been instrumental in the evolution of my career as
a documentary filmmaker. I can say in all sincerity, that without
Mike’s expertise and guidance, I would not be in the position I am
today of having a burgeoning career as a videographer as well as
having a documentary broadcast on national television. Mike’s clear
and concise graphic representations and casual, yet informative
writing style make this book a joy to read and a giant leap in the
education of video production. This book is invaluable for
videographers or anyone interested in video production.”

"Mike is more that a teacher; he is an amazing mentor. We have worked
together going on 25 years. After graduating from Capilano University
in the Media Resources Program, I created Street Legal Communications.
When I started the business I discovered that technical problems do
occur, but Mike was there with solutions no matter what format or
equipment/skills were needed to produce a fantastic production on time
and on budget to please the client. I could always depend on Mike to
assist me with editing, lighting, sound, video camera operation,
music, stills, film, animation, effects and to put it all together.
Now, HD is sooo amazing that there are no limits to Broadcast Video
Production, and I will be using his book over and over. You have found
a gold mine here!”
