Maria Langer has just published her first Maria’s Guides title, Making Movies: A Guide for Serious Amateurs, and discusses what it delivers for the budding filmmaker. Choosing not to focus on hardware or software geekery, Maria helps you understand movie making from a practical, creative standpoint. The book is based on her experiences in shooting a mini-documentary, Cherries: From Tree to Truck; because it draws from a real project and not a sample file, you’ll find Maria’s guidance the perfect way to improve your video projects. The discussion includes some simple but effective techniques for using both b-roll and still photos, a few tricks to help improve the look of things, and her biggest surprise in making the video.
