In the process of deciding what game I should walk through the creation of in this chapter, I asked a lot of my developer friends what they would fi nd most useful. I even posted a public survey for people to cast votes on a variety of game types. I was impressed that, by a huge margin (the runner-up had about half as…
Few people I know, programmers included, don’t groan a little when math and physics are brought up. While not all games utilize them, geometry, trigonometry, and basic physical mechanics are essential parts of game development. Don’t worry though; this isn’t a physics and math book. There are many of those out in the…
Most systems in use are for commercial applications, principally office blocks, and this has driven the design ethos. Where systems have been required for commercial applications other than office blocks, a system originally developed for treating offices has often been adapted to suit the different use, for example,…
Materials and textures OUR SURROUNDINGS ARE DEFINED BY TEXTURES. We can, for example, see at a glance that something is made of wood simply because of its familiar grainy appearance. We recognize certain materials such as silk by the way the light catches its folds and creases.
The rules of composition have been delineated over the centuries, evolving from first principles into a solid, robust set of guidelines. This chapter looks at some of the key concepts that determine how a good picture differs from one that’s poorly composed. The position of a character in a scene changes the way we ap…
Geometry , specifi cally Euclidian geometry, is the branch of mathematics that deals with, among other things, the relationship between points, lines, and shapes in a space. From it we derive the formulas for getting the distance between two points, as well as the entire x , y coordinate system (known as the Cartesian…
In its simplest form an audio mixer combines several incoming signals into a single output signal. This cannot be achieved simply by connecting all the incoming signals in parallel and then feeding them into a single input because they may influence each other. The signals need to be isolated from each other. Individu…

MAN cannot live by bread alone, although wheat \nwas believed to have been formed of the body of \nGod, and without water he could not live at all. \nHis whole existence depends upon it, and from the \nearliest times man has regarded water as a thing of \nmystery and has attributed to it supernatural and \nanimistic p…
The production techniques that video crew members employ vary greatly from person to person, company to company, and country to country. The goal of this chapter is to review the most common production techniques in order to broadly prepare you for the television industry.
It’s a new day in photography. The earth-shattering change brought on by the availability of instant feedback on the digital camera’s LCD, or directly on computer monitor through tethered or wireless camera-to-computer capture, with histogram and capture information displayed, has changed the way we work and play in t…
What This Book Is About This book is designed to teach you about the equipment you will need and use on a daily basis. I will also lightly touch on some stage terms, tricks of the trade, and procedures. With this book, perseverance (and I mean lots of perseverance), and just plain old hard work, you can become a succe…
Rule 1. Never make a cut without a positive reason. Rule 2. When undecided about the exact frame to cut on, cut long rather than short.* Cuts should be conceived on the big screen, but they can be made only on the Moviola. To put i t more simply, based on his viewing of the assembled material, the cutter decides where…
Production Departments Whether you&s;re shooting on film or video, making a five-minute short or a feature film, or working with a big budget or miniscule resources-the core production tasks for all narrative motion pictures are essentially the same. All film crews are divided up into departments. A production departm…
This is probably the most used and yet abused test of them all. Affectionately known as ‘meggering’, an insulation resistance test is performed in order to ensure that the insulation of conductors, accessories and equipment is in a healthy condition, and will prevent dangerous leakage currents between conductors and b…
Clear instructions and step-by-step photographs teach you how to mix chemicals and apply light-sensitive emulsions by hand, how to create imagery in and out of the darkroom, how to translocate Polaroid photos, photocopies,magazine and newspaper pictures, and how to alter black-and-white and color photographs. FULL COL…

The interface for Adobe Premiere Pro is made up of different work areas, each inside its own window. A two-monitor computer desktop is handy, though not required. Premiere Pro has many windows, and without two monitors, you may find yourself juggling windows a bit. Using the preset workspaces, as well as developing yo…
Short descriptions make it all sound too easy, so let us pause to refl ect on debugging. Many of the bugs are never understood. They are eliminated by trial and error. Let us illustrate three different kinds: (1) The essential technical limitations that in the end have to be factored into the analysis of error. (2) Si…
Having composed and formed the picture in the camera the next step is to make the image permanent. Digital image capture is increasingly used, recording images as electronic signals from a CCD panel (Chapter 6), but a huge amount of photography relies on chemically coated film as the image-recording medium because of…
