This is a great book for the serious prosumer or pro. I am learning professional video at present and I’ve read half way through this book and I would say out of the many other books and numberless websites I’ve read this book has given me about half of my useful knowledge and covered everything in other books I’ve read so far except the consumer grade silliness. It gives really great explanations of technical stuff like file formats and codecs, compression, organization and camera movement to name a few examples. I like to understand stuff for myself and not just take the author’s word for something, and that’s how this book works. I especially like the useful examples and analogies.

If you are a non-tech Consumer making Point & Shoot home videos and just want a quick, easy, color picture guide to video then you don’t want this book although it still could be handy for a reference.

If you are a Pro you definitely want this book and it’s possible you might not need another except for books specific to certain areas or equipment. This book covers in moderate to heavy depth everything from planning to budgeting to lights to sound recording to editing to marketing.

Bottom Line: I highly recommend this book! (Make sure and get the latest edition – as of 7-2010 it’s 3)

Next to consulting video game developers and publishers in Germany, I’m teaching Game Design at the Games Academy and University of Applied Sciences in Berlin. This is why I have read the most books about Game Design on the market. Jesse Shell doesn’t repeat well known facts and strategies, he gets down to the core of the topics and explains the source. This might be a little academic, if he would not choose great examples to illustrate his thoughts. In the end it will help you understand your craft much better and remember important aspects.

The book of lenses has a wide scope, which will make it suitable for teachers setting up a curriculum, students or beginners entering the industry or game design veterans making sure their latest invention is not missing a crucial point, which could turn a million dollar idea to a spot of bat barf.

The Art of Game Design: A book of lenses Overview

Anyone can master the fundamentals of game design – no technological expertise is necessary. The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses shows that the same basic principles of psychology that work for board games, card games and athletic games also are the keys to making top-quality videogames. Good game design happens when you view your game from many different perspectives, or lenses. While touring through the unusual territory that is game design, this book gives the reader one hundred of these lenses – one hundred sets of insightful questions to ask yourself that will help make your game better. These lenses are gathered from fields as diverse as psychology, architecture, music, visual design, film, software engineering, theme park design, mathematics, writing, puzzle design, and anthropology. Anyone who reads this book will be inspired to become a better game designer – and will understand how to do it.

* Jesse Schell is a highly recognizable name within the game industry – he is the former chair of the International Game Developer’s Association, and has designed many successful games, including Disney’s award-winning Toontown Online.

* The book’s design methodology was developed at Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center, co-founded by Dr. Randy Pausch of “Last Lecture” fame.

* 100 ‘lenses’ are scattered throughout the book. These are boxed sets of questions, each a different way of seeing a game that will inspire the creative process.

* 500 pages of detailed, practical instruction on creating world-class games that will be played again and again.

* Winner of Game Developer’s 2008 Front Line Award in the book category

“Chapter Three: Safety Behind Bars” finds our ragtag band of survivors moving into a new safe haven. This one has real promise–it’s a well secured prison. While Chapter Two has forced us to confront the fact that no one is safe, new hope springs alive. Still wary from their encounter on Herschel’s farm, the group extends an olive branch to the family to share the safety of their new digs. So a community starts to form again and the group begins to grow with the newcomers as well as four inmates that were alive in the prison. Building a safe structure takes the primary focus of this chapter but all the new people are still wary of trusting one another. Jockeying for dominance and leadership, this bloody good chapter makes us confront that the zombies are not the only dangers inherent in the new world. With murder, suicide, and betrayal–its starting to get harder to determine the good guys from the bad. And in true cliff hanger fashion, the safe haven may be slipping from their grasp–or actually, it may be ripped away!

“Chapter Four: The Heart’s Desire” wraps up the prison cliff hanger from the previous chapter. Among other things, Rick takes another controversial step to defend his tribe. Is he losing his humanity or doing whatever is necessary to survive? As a new character is introduced, the enigmatic warrior Michonne, things start to unravel for Tyreese. Still haunted by his daughters death and what he did in its aftermath, his relationship with Michonne threatens those he is already involved with. The series retains its heart with the continuation of the love affair between Glenn and Maggie including a racy nude scene. But the destruction of Rick and Tyreese’s friendship packs a huge wallop. Easily one of the more dramatic chapters, the series hits an all time high with Rick’s “We are the Walking Dead” speech–an absolutely unforgettable moment of raw emotion.

Video Basics Overview

Herbert Zettl draws on his expertise and field experience to bring you the sixth edition of VIDEO BASICS, the handiest and most authoritative, current, and technically accurate student guide to video production available. Meeting the need for a briefer book, this text distills comprehensive video instruction so that it can be covered in a single semester. The book moves students from video concepts and processes to production tools and techniques and, finally, to the production environment (studio and field, inside and outside) and its effects. A more conceptual framework leads students from the idea (what to create) to the image (how to create) on video. Contrary to the previous editions of VIDEO BASICS, which reflected the transition from analog to digital technology, VIDEO BASICS, 6th Edition, acknowledges that digital video is a firmly established medium. References to analog are made only to help explain the digital process or the analog equipment that is still in use.

Dante had his Inferno. Odysseus had to get past Scylla and Charybdis. And Bertie Wooster has to darken the dangerous halls of Totleigh Towers again to avoid the unwelcome bands of matrimony with Miss Madeline Bassett.

Madeline’s engagement to that world-class newt lover, Gussie Fink-Nottle, is on the rocks when Madeline insists that the meat-loving Gussie become a vegetarian. That’s dangerous because Madeline has always made it clear that she will have no other man than Bertie as her husband if Gussie isn’t available. So Bertie volunteers to enter that place where all others abandon hope in order to try to repair the engagement. But he’s soon in trouble because Emerald Stoker, daughter of the American millionaire, has taken a temporary job as the cook at Totleigh Towers and is tempting Gussie with steak and kidney pie and ham sandwiches. Soon love is following the growls of Gussie’s stomach, and Gussie insults the sunset and Madeline’s favorite fictional character.

At the same time, Stiffi Byng’s engagement to Stinker Pinker is on the rocks as well because Pop Bassett won’t come through with the vicar’s job that Stinker needs to be able to afford to marry. A rocky day at the school treat makes progress even more problematical.

Jeeves is the source of the all the solutions as he often is, but relations are strained even there by Bertie’s new hat which Jeeves feels is unsuitable.

Stiffi also takes to absconding with Pop Bassett’s prize gee-gaw, which Bertie’s Uncle Tom covets, and matters develop to make Bertie look like a thief again. Can Bertie escape the goal?

In the best of the Jeeves stories, the plot unfolds in a fairly straightforward fashion that holds Bertie at ransom to fate. Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves has such a plot. I highly recommend this book to you.

This book should also remind you to read the Jeeves books in order of their publication. Many of the best are sequels to the finest of the early stories. Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves is one of those sequels. Enjoy!

I like that this book is inspired by Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice and enjoy the references throughout the book:
“It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be called Mr. Darcy and to stand on your own looking snooty at a party. It’s like being called Heathcliff and insisting on spending the entire evening in the garden, shouting “Cathy” and banging your head against a tree.”

This book had me laughing out loud and I could totally relate to some of the things Bridget was talking about. She’s one of those heroines I think most women can relate to.
The film version of Bridget Jones’s Diary is one of my favorites and I recommend the book for a good dose of light and fun chick lit. In this case, I do prefer the film to the book. Some of my favorite scenes in the movie are not in the book, like the famous fight scene between Darcy and Daniel.
