Producing and Directing the Short Film and Video By Peter W. Rea, David K. Irving

I would like to point out the first five paragraphs on this page from 'Producing and Directing the Short Film and Video' by Peter W. Rea, David K. Irving. I think this is a perfect summary of digital media as it addresses the uprising digital technologies used in present day film production but also makes a brilliant point.

"No matter what the tools, art is created out of the heart" - this quote from paragraph four sums it up perfectly. Technologies can be improved and improved to the point where we can make fantastic visually dynamic films. However, these technologies don't have a patch on an film makers passion and enthusiasm for an idea.
