4 out of 5 stars Filled with value, but nobody's perfect   June 26, 2007
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

This magazine regularly has a lot of very solid info in it for video creators at many levels. Sure, a seasoned professional might find this magazine superfluous, but teaching such a person something new is not the purpose of the magazine. It's refreshing to see a publication that has an actual mission, which Videomaker does, and to see it work very successfully toward that mission. If you want to express yourself with video and you're not yet a seasoned professional, this is one magazine you should definitely subscribe to. There is always room for improvement, so it pays to keep an eye on other publications as well, but I have yet to pick up an issue of Videomaker without finding plenty worth reading.


4 out of 5 stars Great Practical Advice and Tips   December 31, 2006
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

I have found a lot of great tips in this magazine, like how to make my own diffusion screens and silks. The magazine is not focused on the professional videographer, but it does have good gear reviews and helpful advice for someone just getting started. And the price is right.


1 out of 5 stars Horribly unprofessional, bunch of ads put together   December 9, 2006
 7 out of 10 found this review helpful

I would give it zero stars if it would be possible. This magazine is as tedious as it only could possibly be, I even don't bother to take it into apartment anymore, it goes into garbage right out of mailbox. The owner and main contributor for this "magazine" , Matt York, probably had something to say about basic home video production some 20 years ago but reading his articles, of the same style, wording and sense of humor is a boredom.

More than that, it is doubtful that contributors to this "magazine" know about video production much more than anyone of us. There are some "video-casting" on their website, that our high-school videos look more "professional". As the subscription is cheap I don't care about it, but if you need quality ads materials just request free catalogs from B&H as it is pretty much what this "magazine" is.
If you really wanna learn of what is video production, get some DVD training from Elite-Video, from John Cooksey, I got some and it is another league, unmatchable for Matt and his "crew". In a turn the video training from "Videomaker" that I happened to watch is pure bluh, guy barely understands a subject he tries to teach other.
You can get way better prospective on what video production is just by browsing internet for freely available articles and reviews.
