The easy way for kids to get started with filmmaking

If you've been bitten by the filmmaking bug--even if you
don't have a background in video or access to fancy
equipment--Digital Filmmaking For Kids makes it easy to
get up and running with digital filmmaking! This fun and friendly
guide walks you through a ton of cool projects that introduce you
to all stages of filmmaking. Packed with full-color photos,
easy-to-follow instruction, and simple examples, it shows you how
to write a script, create a storyboard, pick a set, light a scene,
master top-quality sound, frame and shoot, edit, add special
effects, and share your finished product with friends or a global

Anyone can take a selfie or upload a silly video to
YouTube--but it takes practice and skill to shoot
professional-looking frames and make your own short film. Written

students, this kid-accessible guide provides you with hands-on
projects that make it fun to learn all aspects of video production,
