"There's been a seismic shift in our industry. The line between film and video production has become blurred. When I conceived the first edition in 1999, video was used mostly for corporate and documentary projects. By the second edition, video was starting to be used for feature projects, so I added more material on booming and other narrative dialog techniques. Also, manufacturers had introduced miniDV cameras with reasonable picture quality but generally substandard sound. So I added a lot on getting the best single-system results, and shortcuts for low-cost double-system.
Now, some small video cameras can record dialog at theatrical quality when used properly. A new generation of non-linear audio recorders has appeared. Both audio and video have advanced to the point that some theatrical releases are completely digital until prints are made for distribution; most film festival entries don't use film at all. These days, "filmmaking" means "story telling"... regardless of the actual medium. I've added lab measurements of new cameras and recorders along with conclusions on how to get the best results with any single- or double-system recording. I talk about other recent changes in wireless, software, and delivery methods. Most importantly I've added sections on feature film workflow editing techniques, what they contribute that traditional video sound techniques can't, and how they can be used in smaller productions.
More pages, more topics, and a remastered audio CD... for the same price as previous editions."
