David Stump, ASC’s Excellent Book, Digital Cinematography, Out Now

     David Stump, ASC has written a book, and why not? After all, he has done everything else. His work in and knowledge of digital cinematography is impressive, and his visual effects shooting is aces. Amazingly, he has condensed his vast knowledge into this excellent reference book available now.

And I’m not praising the book just because it contains my lengthy treatise on color space. (It does. Just see Chapter 4.) Rather, it is a great resource; I’ve been using it since it came out.
