American Cinematographer Manual

Known as the “Filmmaker’s bible,” for several generations, one of the world’s most widely used cinema reference books is more comprehensive than ever — moving into the digital side of image capture. The editing of the 10th AC Manual was overseen by Michael Goi, ASC, former ASC President. He is a key speaker on issues involving technology and the history of cinema. Completely re-imagined to reflect the sweeping technological changes that our industry has experienced, this edition of the Manual is vibrant and essential reading, as well as an invaluable field resource, covering subjects such as:


• A comprehensive breakdown of digital technology terminology

•The explosion of prosumer cameras in professional use

• Previsualization

• 3-D

• LED lighting fixtures

• How to use the Academy Color Encoding Specification (ACES)

• An entirely new section on digital camera prep, and more!
