It was perfect for my 7-year-old daughter who has been wanting to make her own YouTube videos. Its simplicity and visual aids were very helpful. This is NOT the book to get if you're looking to start a major YouTube channel, but is a great tool for beginners.

Kniha je sice pro děti, ale já si ji zkusmo z knihovny vypůjčil, že se třeba něco nového naučím.

Nebudu lhát, drtivou většinu jsem již znal a někdy i skákal, protože jsem věděl co na určité stránce bude, nicméně pár věcí zde bylo opravdu zajímavých a já je nevěděl(jasně našel bych si je kdykoliv na netu, ale já je našel tu).

Abych to zakončil, je poznat, že kniha je primárně určená menším dětem(max 13 let) , kterým může dát spoustu nových informací o problematice natáčení, střihu a uploadu na Yt, nicméně chtělo by to aktualizovat vydání, jelikož v tomto rychle se pohybujícím odvětví se toho za 4 roky od vydání mnoho a mnoho změnilo.

7,5/10.

[Susana · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's a clear and simple approach to videomaking, excellent for beginners and has a language that makes it easily readable for a very large audience group (in terms of age and previous experience).

[Francesca Corsetti · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nel caso voleste diventare dei videomaker provetti per YouTube questo semplice libro spiega tutto ciò che c’è da sapere, passo passo, dalle basi alla pubblicazione di un video di qualità!

[Teresa Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is mainly a simplified version of Willoughby's book, "Digital Filmmaking for Kids". The instructions on storyboards, production teams, and trailers are missing, but he does go over lighting, sound and location. Also included are detailed instructions on how to use IMOVIE to make a video. This is a quick and easy way to learn how to make a better looking, more professional video for youtube or to share with friends.
