–DIGITAL CONVERGENCE EPISODE
6 Episode 6 features Richard
Harrington and Robbie Carman, who are two of
four of the co-authors of the new book from
Peachpit: From Still to Motion.
In this episode, Rich Harrington and Robbie
Carman talk about what to expect from their new
book. Taking a platform agnostic approach and
covering a wide range of budgets, they discuss a
broad range of topics including unexpected
lessons learned, do-it-yourself lighting, camera
support and motion, post-production and color
grading, sound, stop-motion and time-lapse and a
wealth of other topics. I hated to cut short this
conversation - it's our longest episode yet. But
it's well worth hearing.
Soundtrack Pro is a powerful tool for scoring and
adding sound design elements like sound effects,
Foley sounds, and ambient noise. Check out this

Peachpit talks to James
Ball, Robbie Carman, Matt Gottshalk, and
Richard Harrington about their new book and
DVD, From Still to Motion, what
photographers struggle with the most when
learning video, and how to stay up to date
on the latest in the world of video.
Peachpit: What was the
motivation behind writing From Still to Motion?
Why this topic, and why now?
Authors: We've been thinking
about and actively working on the book for more
than a year. When we first starting seeing
video-enabled DSLR cameras we were excited by
their potential. They can be challenging to work
with, but have great rewards with incredible
visuals.
We decided there needed to be a definitive book
and DVD that explored the entire process of using
these cameras (from pre-production through
delivery), and one that explored both the art and
the technology. Camera models and features
constantly change, but the process of creating
video is relatively constant and we felt there
needed to be thorough coverage on how to create
video with a DSLR camera. What we've created is
an in-depth case study that explores how we used
these cameras for six months and all the cool
things we learned along the way.
