Book Review: DV Filmmaking by Ian Aronson

Posted by on December 19, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

Ian David Aronson was an Associate Professor at Ramapo College in New Jersey – my Alma Mata. As I was looking for books on digital filmmaking I spotted this and I bought it. I’ve read 5 other books and this was my favorite for a number of reasons. The quality of the printing is outstanding. And the material from start to finish is well written and many of the major points I learned about digital filmmaking at the New York Film Academy are explained beautifully in this book. I was surprised we did not have a text book for Evening Digital Video at NYFA… and this became my textbook. I have found in life that if I read 3 to 5 books on a subject, I might know more than the so called “experts”. Usually “the experts” have a PhD and they ultimately reform life to look like their pet theories. Aronson is a straight shooter and he gives real life examples of everything he teaches in the book. Ian Aronson is a genuine expert with lots of experience and no illusions that get in the way of the content. I recommend “DV Filmmaking” to anyone considering taking or teaching a class in digital filmmaking.
