The advancement of science and technology has a significant impact on the evolution of education. This is because it offers numerous advantages, such as making it easier to find learning resources, such as through media, multimedia, e-learning, mobile learning, and other platforms. The advantage of learning digitalization is that it increases students’ interest in learning activities, and teachers can manage how students choose to study, such as through video. Unfortunately, the lack of IT facilities and infrastructure controlled by educational institutions, as well as the high expenses of creating and purchasing IT infrastructure, make the use of IT in education challenging. This book therefore provides a straightforward description of how prospective teachers might supply teaching materials in the form of videos cheaply and easily. It further provides novice video creators with straightforward instructions for generating instructional movies using Kinemaster. In an effort to optimize digital resources for Indonesian education, it is intended that this book would give beneficial references for its readers.

This textbook describes the concepts, tools, and activities needed to get started in video production, with chapters on operating the camera, lighting the set, videotape recording systems, the production studio, editing, and acting techniques.

"This book supports my own 30-year crusade to demonstrate that games are an art form that undeniably rivals traditional arts. It gives detailed explanations of game art techniques and their importance, while also highlighting their dependence on artistic aspects of game design and programming.” — John Romero, co-founder of id Software and CEO of Loot Drop, Inc. "Solarski’s methodology here is to show us the artistic techniques that every artist should know, and then he transposes them to the realm of video games to show how they should be used to create a far more artful gaming experience ... if I were an artist planning to do video game work, I’d have a copy of this on my shelf." — Marc Mason, Comics Waiting Room Video games are not a revolution in art history, but an evolution. Whether the medium is paper or canvas—or a computer screen—the artist’s challenge is to make something without depth seem like a window into a living, breathing world. Video game art is no different. Drawing Basics and Video Game Art is first to examine the connections between classical art and video games, enabling developers to create more expressive and varied emotional experiences in games. Artist game designer Chris Solarski gives readers a comprehensive introduction to basic and advanced drawing and design skills—light, value, color, anatomy, concept development—as well as detailed instruction for using these methods to design complex characters, worlds, and gameplay experiences. Artwork by the likes of Michelangelo, Titian, and Rubens are studied alongside AAA games like BioShock, Journey, the Mario series, and Portal 2, to demonstrate perpetual theories of depth, composition, movement, artistic anatomy, and expression. Although Drawing Basics and Video Game Art is primarily a practical reference for artists and designers working in the video games industry, it’s equally accessible for those interested to learn about gaming’s future, and potential as an artistic medium. Also available as an eBook
