The Video Camera Operator's Handbook explains in easy-to-understand language the background to video operation. It describes the video system in photography terms, explaining its benefits, limitations and how these influence picture making. Aimed at camera operators (those transferring from photography and film, as well as those already working in video and television) the book explains how camera operation, lighting and special effects are all affected by video operation. The system is described from its roots. The camera and picture display are considered together to describe how they interact - these form the backbone of video photography. Checkout procedures are described and there is a discussion on lenses, lighting and pictures where these are specific to video operation. In short, all the important basics are covered to ensure the operator fully understands the system. Peter Hodges is a freelance trainer and consultant, operating his own Moving Image Masterclasses which teach the fundamentals of video from a visual base. He worked for many years at BBC Pebble Mill on such productions as Oliver Twist, The Rai. Reviews: 'A compelling read for all camera operators learning their craft and for those who think they know it all' Amateur Film and Video Maker 'I would recommend The Video Camera Operator's Handbook to anyone who is serious about taking moving pictures and who would like to understand what lies behind grain, aperture ramping, colour temperature, gamma and the many other elements which affect the pictures we produce.' Despatches Explains how the video system influences picture making An invaluable guide for those needing to multiskill Invaluable for workers in allied crafts such as lighting, vision operation and special effects as written in a non technical language

The essence of measurement in video is to make sure that all the parts fit. In other words, making sure the picture fits the system, or conversely, the system can handle the picture. An Introduction to Video Measurement sets out in clear and simple terms, with many photographs and line drawings, the answers to the question "What do we measure in video and why?" A section at the beginning is devoted to the principles of electronic signals, ending with a description of the whole video system: from camera set up, and studio timing to videotape editing. With an Introduction to Video Measurement, a broad knowledge of the whole video system will be gained.

Peter Hodges rejects the long-held view that ramps were used to build the pyramids; his alternative is that it could all have been done with levers. This book explains how and why. First published by Element books in 1989, Aris &amp; Phillips reprinted it in 1993.
