5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading for my new staff at our new in-house studio, August 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Television Field Production and Reporting (Paperback)

This book focuses on the most important part of making television and video - the story. It's an incredible how-to book with solid techniques and tricks-of-the-trade that are described by working professionals. As the senior producer of the second studio I've built for a Fortune 100 corporation, I'm making it required reading for my in-house staff. Our programs will be created this way or we will fail.
