You may be a student, a professor, or out on your own, working independently. You may be a budding filmmaker or an emeritus anthropologist. You may have a burning desire to shoot a feature-length movie about a revolution in a remote spot of the globe, or have long hoped to make a ten-minute video about your grandmother. You may want to learn the technology simply to shoot research footage, or to improve your home video style. In any of these cases, this handbook contains the background information you'll need to work with moving images.
