Nonlinear - A Field Guide to Digital Video and Film Editing

Excellent.......2002-11-22
Best technical book in the field.......2002-03-07
Because he IS an editor, Rubin is the only technical writer I know who is able to prioritize exactly what you need to know and to tell you why you need to know it. Like any good editor, he has the ability to think macro- and microscopically at once. His post-production flowcharts, history of nonlinear, and overview of systems and distribution are unsurpassed in the field. The down-and-dirty details of digital video- subjects like timecode, telecine and 3:2 pulldown, and compression algorithms- are clearly demystified. These are sections to which I still refer! This book is always in my cutting room as a reference, and when I teach I borrow examples from the book and urge my students to purchase their own copy.
This book contains another unique feature, which is an intellectual and practical interest in editing theory. Rubin has worked not only as an editor, but also in research and development at several companies during the dawn of nonlinear technology. Thus, he is able to pose and answer the most fundamental questions: Why do we need nonlinear technology? And how can that technology serve our creative needs? What might we see in the future?
This is a book that will be helpful for anyone who is already editing at any level, or for anyone just learning about the craft. Straightforward, well-organized, and filled with humor and wisdom, this is quite simply my favorite book about the technical side of editing.
An Excellent Introduction to Video.......2002-02-07
During the past two years I have learned the terminology used with FCP video. But my knowledge is FCP-centeric. I had little understanding of video, it's relationship to film or it's history.
Last week I discovered "Nonlinear/4" written by Michael Rubin. I can best describe this book as a complete reference guide to all things video. But its actually more.
Each element covered in this book is in it's own section. Each section is brief, concise and clearly written. Very simple (read: clever) analogies are employed to help the reader gain understanding. While there is technical information, the book is not overly technical. There is a great deal of art, illustrations and photos. This art furthers the learning experience and is one reason that the book works so well, the art really illustrates the
lessons being taught.
The history of film and video runs throughout the book. This history is essential to understanding how and why video is what it is today.
I learned a great deal from this book and now have a better understanding of why things are the way they are. Our modern day NLE Digital video is the result of a long legacy, going all the way back to the early days of film. This book is a great reference guide as well with a full index at the back.
I am really glad that I came across Nonlinear/4. I truly have a better understanding of what's going on with Video and how it works. This knowledge will certainly help me with FCP.

Predator: Race War (Dark Horse Collection.)
Andrew Vachss , Randy Stradley , and Variou Manufacturer: Dark Horse ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1569711127 |
Book Description
From the Arctic Circle to the equatorial jungles -- from the most isolated wilderness to the overpopulated city -- any place can be a hunting ground. It all depends on your choice of game. For Predator, that game is man, so he heads to the grounds with the biggest trophies: the Paloverde State Penitentiary. They say that when you kill a killer, all his kills belong to you, and Predator's looking to rack up the big numbers.Customer Reviews:
Awful graphic novel: bad story, bad art.......2004-12-09
Pathetic.......2002-09-04
The main reason is that the artwork is just plain horrid. In the opening chapters it's competent enough but as the story progresses it becomes more and more ugly. I could do better than this. It's a shame considering how brilliant other Predator comics looked.
The Predator is a truly awesome and iconic character. He deserves better than this. And so this is one to forget. Check out Predator: Dark River or Kindred instead. Those are really cool. This is not.
Great book!!.......2001-09-30

Predator: Race War.......2000-07-31
The whole thing started when Dark Horse's Randy Stradley planned a storyline involving a Predator hunting a serial killer. Since the Predator's victims are _de facto_ reps of the human race itself, this came down to the *human* killer, in his battle with the *alien* killer, becoming The Good Guy.
As Stradley tells us--and as one would expect--Vachss didn't think much of that idea. But that was Ok, because he had an idea of his own. Thus was "Predator: Race War" conceived and, eventually, born, as a five-issue series, collected together here.
The cover is, natch, the first thing one sees, and this one, by Ray Lago, is a winner. The Predator, a heavily-armored intergalactic Rastamon, crouches on a prison walkway, menacing and indestructible. It's a thing of beauty, and I'm *not* being facetious.
Stradley's adaptation is clean and tight, as it the artwork throughout--pencils by Raskin & Pelle, inks b Rick Bryant, and colors by Matt Hollingsworth & Pamela Rambo.
"They say that when you kill a killer, all his kills belong to you," the back cover informs us. "Well, Predator's looking to rack up the big numbers."
What better place to do so than the most maxed-out of maximum security prisons in the country? Who could possibly stop this dude?
Who else but Cross & Crew, familiar to fans of Vachss' short fiction and Dark Horse's _Cross_ series?
Be aware that Cross & crew's depiction is a bit different than fans might expect. Tiger has no stripes, fer-instance, and she's drawn a bit...err, *heftier*...than we'd expect. Cross, Fal & Rhino are more in line with the rest of the series, and the Predator is nicely done, especially in "camoflauge" mode.
The "Race War" is a double theme: first, the tension and violence along racial lines familiar to those of us who live in The Real World(tm), second, the war of the *human* race in its various shades against the Predator's alien race.
The "Gallery" section at the end features the series' covers, paintings by Dave Dorman, which are quite simply *damned* cool. IMNSHO, the covers alone are well worth the price. Do yourself a favor and order this one. It's a keeper.

Picked it up. Couldn't put it down.......2005-04-11
New Perspective on a Facinating Woman.......2004-04-18
Madame Rambova.......2003-01-05
Morris works hard to reverse the numerous unflattering stereotypes and rumours built around Natacha during her life. By refusing to at least explore them, he weakens the book considerably. All negative claims are swiftly - perhaps a little too swiftly - shot down. The bare details are subtly poked and prodded into a much more pleasant picture than was strictly the case. In particular, very little is made of `Monsieur Beaucaire', the notorious flop which nearly ended Valentino's career and his rough, mysterious image. This movie represented a major crisis in the marriage of the couple, as Rambova has convinced Valentino and his studio to make the film in the first place.
The end (and for that matter, much) of the Valentinos' marriage was far more acrimonious than Morris leads us to believe, and thus the portrait of Natacha he paints remains disappointingly bloodless. One topic of which more exploration is needed by further biographers of Natacha (and I hope that more is written of her) is made evident by the numerous references to her ability to work all day having had nothing to eat, and by the stomach ailment that eventually killed her. Natacha was quite obviously anorexic, and exploration into her affliction might have told us much more about her.
Natacha was not the wilful but essentially benign artiste that Morris portrays here, but nor was she the cold-hearted, ruthlessly ambitious lesbian of other historical accounts. The truth, presumably, was somewhere in between - a person far more interesting than either cliched extreme. What cannot be denied is that Rambova was an interesting, talented, and ambitious woman whose story is very worthy of telling, and the book is worth reading for that alone.
What a shame that, even after Morris' attempt to bring her out from under the shadow of her famous husband, the book must still be titled `Madame Valentino'.

This new series of fifteen books - The Food Service Professional Guide TO Series from the editors of the Food Service Professional are the best and most comprehensive books for serious food service operators available today.These step-by-step guides on a specific management subject range from finding a great site for your new restaurant to how to train your wait staff and literally everything in between.

The books cover all the bases, providing clear explanations and helpful, specific information. All titles in the series include the phone numbers and web sites of all companies discussed.

Every paragraph in each of the books are comprehensive, well researched, engrossing, and just plain fun-to-read, yet are packed with interesting ideas. You'll be using your highlighter a lot! The best part aside from the content is they are very moderately priced. You can also purchase the whole 15 book series the isbn number is 0-910627-26-6. You are bound to get a great new idea to try on every page if not out of every paragraph. Do not be put off by the low price, these books really do deliver the critical information and eye opening ideas you need you to succeed without the fluff so commonly found in more expensive books on the subject. Highly recommended!
