Frank-

Which of those three is the best?

Videographer Magazine, in my opinion. For the DV greenhorn, ComputerVideo. (Forget Videomaker.)

Note: Videographer (CMP), DV Mag (CMP) and ComputerVideo are all owned by Miller.

I like DV the best. Sometimes though, Videomaker has a worthwhile article covering video basics. It doesn't hurt to thumb through them, while drinking cappucino at Barnes and Noble bookstore ;) You'll find the one that fits you best.

Videomaker even has free issues, trying to get you to subscribe. DV sometimes has free subscriptions. I just got a second year for free.

Videography and DV Mag are free if you are an industry 'pro,' or so they say. I don't pay for any of them and I didn't have to ask. The subs were offered. I do not know why except I did attend a couple of trade shows.

Sounds about right, Mike. Other than that, I couldn't figure out why I got it.

How do I obtain a free "pro" subscription to DV Magazine and Videographer Mag?

Anyone know the web site for Videographer Mag?

Searched google and couldn't find it.

TIA.

It pays to look before you post! I was just looking for info about this topic!

Industry magazines
 

What magazines/newletters do you consider as great reading material?

I try to read American Cinematographer, SHOOT magazine, DV Magazine and Cinefex (for in depth efx stuff).

What do you read as inspiration/helpful material?

What are your specific interests and needs?

I try to obtain a range of material for both the video and film world. A lot of video industry material and some hollywood movie stuff. I am particularly interested in material that leans towards independent video/film making.

I don't read any technical industry magazines as I'm leaning away from production and more toward development. So for inspriation I read "Film Comment", the film magazine of the Lincoln Center society. For the other fluffy entertainment I can get more by reading online sources.

Which Videography Magazine do you read?
 

Hi folks.

I just picked up two recent Videography and Videomaker magazine but can’t decide which one to subscribe to. What video magazine do you read?

VideoMaker.... isn't that the one which is sort of hobby-oriented? Haven't read it much. I pick up Videography magazine at the newstand from time to time. I think perhaps it's only published quarterly or bi-monthly? My only subscription is to DV magazine.

FilmMaker

and when it's at the local newsstand, Camcorder & Computer Video
