first post... good books/videos for post production

EN tha Wize Guy · 16th May 2007, 01:03 PM

Alright, this is my first post on the forums. I have been addicted, and reading hours a day for months. I am going to school currently for audio engineering, and I'm planning on moving to LA when I am done with school. I have always been mainly interested in the music side of audio but have also been interested in making movies as well. Anyways I figured a happy medium for me to start with would be post production audio and maybe a little bit of film editing. So if any of you have any good recommendations on DVD's or Books for Post Production with programs such as Pro Tools or Logic please let me know. In fact any books worth reading please let me know. I am willing to read anything that will provide me with more knowledge than i have now. (just a very basic but good post foundation, adr,sync,sfx, foley). I did a quick search but i figured a more up to date reply would be better.

Thanks ahead of time, your responses are very appreciated.

also, if anyone could suggest any other websites/forums that are worth checking out that have post production topics, it would be great. I figure I'd get all my small questions answered right off the bat so I won't have to waste space making numerous posts.

The Practical Art of Motion Picture Sound (3rd Edition) by David Yewdall. That would be a good place to start.

"Sound for Film and Television" by Tomlinson Holman on Focus press. You may also want "5.1 up and Running" by the same author. I have a great article by Walter Murch as a PDF. PM me and I'll send it on.
Also,

That should keep you busy for a while.

The Practical Art of Motion Picture Sound.... we are reading that one in class now. I wonder if the third edition is updated alot because we have the second edition. I guess it just came out about 2 weeks ago.
