Review :
Rarely do you get a chance to see how a master storyteller works. This is it. This wonderful book shows you how to build great stories step by step. A great story can look so natural but hide the truth that a story is a carefully made thing. The good news is that two great visual storytellers, with skill and generosity, have revealed the process in all of its graceful complexity and shown us the way. For generations, Bob Dotson has shown us how to connect with the audience utilizing people-focused video storytelling, both through his work and his instruction. Make It Memorable continues to be an invaluable resource for journalism that matters and the next generation of journalists will surely benefit from this new edition.
