Praise for HOW VIDEO WORKS: "If you work in video, or want to work in video, this book is a must have. It is a comprehensive A through Z of video from the people who have been at the backbone of training in Los Angeles. I recommend it to my staff and clients." Marty Meyer, Director of Engineering, Wexler Video, Los Angeles "This book is a great teaching tool." David Schwartz, Professor, Film and Video Department, Brooks Institute of Photography "Video can be hard to explain and contextualize. This book does a great job of making it easy to understand."
