3D Mathematics for Game DevelopmentFletcher Dunn

This book provides an introduction to the most important concepts needed in 3D graphics and simulation, with a bias towards real-time 3D video games. This information has previously been relegated to a brief introductory chapter or appendix in a graphics textbook, or buried in linear algebra textbooks beneath layers of generality and systems of equations without any geometric

application. 3D Mathematics for Game Development collects the material from various disciplines such as linear algebra, computational geometry, control systems, approximation theory, and of course graphics all in one place, and targets the presentation for those who need to understand how to mathematically describe and manipulate a 3D environment.

Production ManagementWinnie Wong

In all the seminars and courses the author has taught over the past 20 years, she has concluded that most fi lm students are unaware of the “business” of the fi lm world. They are not fully aware that while they are producing a fi lm they will have to deal with contracts, budget constraints, personnel, scheduling, legal, insurance, and safety issues. Many fi rst time fi lmmakers concentrate on their “creative endeavors” and unfortunately forget to establish production management strategies or exhibit any business ethics. In many cases this results in legal or insurance issues that can end in lawsuits, fi nancial hardships, and/or the inability to distribute their fi lm. This book provides the in-depth information, exercises, and worksheets that will prepare the student and provide them with the tools to become successful and enlightened fi lmmakers.

Audio Production and Post-productionWoody Woodhall

This is an introductory but comprehensive text of audio practices for both production and post-production sound. Readers are guided through a series of exercises to better understand the relationships between the gear and practices required for optimal recordings and mixes. Rather than merely explain the esoteric concepts of sound wave propagation, the electronics of how sound is recorded, or the acoustics of sound reverberation in spaces, this text provides hands-on exercises for experiential understanding of these crucial ideas.

This text emphasizes the importance of recording the sound properly on the set and also elucidates the post-production audio process as a creative collaboration that enhances the story and is not merely a “fi x” for various audio problems. With this systematic approach from simple recording through sound editing and mixing the reader will gain valuable hands/ears-on experience.

Visual Post-ProductionWarren Heaton

Visual post-production spans a wide range of topics: title design, video graphics, color correction and special effects. When telling a story with picture and sound, as is done with the medium of fi lm and video, any of these components of visual post-production on a project may take on a variety of rolls ranging from being merely a functional component of the production to a deeply integrated part of the story telling process.

This book is for the fi lm and/or video author using picture and sound who needs to take on most, if not all, of the roles of visual post-production by themselves or with a small team of creative people from project to project. It provides a solid foundation in the terminology and the current technology, with tutorials and clear step-by-step instructions, to give a professional polish to any project using the very same tools that someone who specializes in title design, video graphics, color correction and/or special effects might use in industry.



Digital Media DistributionJason Moore

We are experiencing a major change in the fi lmmaking industry. It used to be that only a few highly successful “show-runner” producers could propose new TV series. Now, with the accessible technology and social media, anyone with a camera can develop a concept that could be picked up by main stream entertainment. This book will help the reader do just that. It is a complete guide to marketing an independent fi lm and making sure it gets into the right hands.

This book covers all aspects of independent fi lm distribution including:

• Publicity• Distributor deals and contracts• Physical product delivery• Release windows, U.S. and international• New distribution models• Free and paid streaming video• Ownership issues• Finding your true audience• Social media• Publicizing your fi lm including creating
