Customer Reviews

Extremely Useful

Coming from a background with little to no experience, I found this book extremely helpful in getting me moving forward on my project. It provided detailed information, from soup to nuts - in plain English, on what to consider, what to do, what to avoid, who to talk to. In addition, there are useful forms and resources contained on the CD. I am comfortable about the possibilities for my project; I am not as overwhelmed as before I read it.

Great insight from an expert who is hands on. Totally worth it

Cathrine delivers here a complete collections of issues for those looking to learn all the details about producing TV and for those who are also considering to take the "jump" and start their own company. Her advice and simple style make this book a "must" for those trying to get as much information as possible in a single piece. Also of interest is the second part of the book, with several interviews with real people/producers, dealing with the most vexing questions about producing TV in the 21st century. I can't wait for the next edition.

Excellent

I loved the speedy service. I needed the textbook for class, and it came early the following week, just in time for lectures and homework. The condition stated by the company said used and even claimed there is a high chance of some damage. I could swear this book is brand new. Not a single thing about it shows that it is warn, even the CD that came with it is unopened. Love it.

An absolutely must-have manual

This great book should be a staple in every classroom. It instructs with clarity and insight, and gives real, practical, working knowledge from inside the world of TV and video production. It's conversational style makes ingesting the material a pleasure. You'll easily want to read and re-read it; and no holes will remain in your understanding, as it seems that every question was anticipated and then answered.

Comprehensive and Well-Presented

The book is extremely well written and very comprehensive. It provides a great entry-level introduction to the world of TV and Video Production while also managing to deliver thought-provoking and educational perspectives via "interviews" with many long-term practitioners.
