"With the advent of digital video cameras, anyone can shoot and produce a video for very little money. What “anyone” can’t do is create a high quality, professional looking video that will generate clients and open doors. No Budget Video Production will show the undercapitalized video producer how every step in production – preproduction, writing, storyboarding, lighting, locations, on-camera talent, editing and post-production – can be cost minimized, yet still result in a sterling, professional quality final product. And how final distribution – via the Web, DVD, the festival circuit, or public exhibition, can be handled in a similarly penny-wise manner. Covering every major type of video: commercials, corporate, training, how-to’s as well as features, this is a must-have tool for any aspiring video-maker." (Publisher description)
