Description
A professional introduction to the end-to-end process of digital filmmaking!
The EDCF Guide to Digital Cinema Production sheds light
on the ongoing and confusing transition from analog to digital technology in film production. In addition to a complete analysis of technical
concerns, this text deals with a number of issues where European and Hollywood priorities differ. It adds fuel to the discussion on "Photo-Chemical
Fundamentalism" and the future of traditional film-based cinematography.
With special emphasis on new HD production techniques for the
big cinema screen, this guide is the one and only resource available from a European perspective. The EDCF Guide to Digital Cinema Production
provides film professionals and decisions-makers in European cinema with an excellent basis for discussions on how to handle the transition
from analog to digital technology.
Look no further for:
* Several production case studies, among them Ingmar Bergman's last film "Saraband"
(2003) and Lars von Trier's "Dogville" (2003).
* Surveys of HD Systems & Cameras and "The 37 MFAQ on HD Production."
* Expert reports
on Audio Recording for HD and the Digital Intermediate Process.
* Detailed European initiatives in Digital Cinema.
* An up-to-date
survey of the problematic standards situation for Digital Cinema.
* A comprehensive look at archiving – the "Achilles Heel" of digital
production.
* The pros and cons of producing feature films digitally – a unique and professional view of "the agony and ecstacy."

European forum for discussions, information exchange and industrial activities in the field of Digital Cinema. This project was initiated
because digital production, digital distribution and digital exhibition of film is the most radical technical change facing the film
industry since sound film was introduced.
