"Hollywood Camera Work is hands down the most informative and complete DVD collection on the market. Basics to advanced topics are clearly
explained and easy to understand through use of animated previsualization style examples. The Master Course In High-End Blocking And Staging has changed the way I plan and execute my scenes.

"The whole program is wonderful! I've directed four feature films, produced eight features -- was the VP of Production at 20th Century Fox for 4 1/2 years and I still learned a ton from watching the videos!
I recently directed Behind Enemy Lines 2, and I would fall asleep at night watching your videos so that I would dream about the techniques! Great stuff!!"
Jim Dodson, Director, Behind Enemy Lines 2, Vice President of Production, 20th Century Fox

"Hollywood Camera Work is the ultimate 'When to, Why to and How to' instructional tool for directing and cinematography in live action or CGI. It should be required viewing in order to graduate from any film school. Where was this DVD set when I was going to film school? Of course, I had no way of watching it back in 1979."

"Amazing! This is more than a course. It is such a comprehensive exploration of shots and camera grammar that it should be any filmmaker's bedside companion. I will share its content with all my students and make it a must in their video libraries. I also suggest to my peers, that these DVDs could be the liberating and inspiring trigger at any time during the blinding stress and tension of their prep-work. Thank you Hollywood Camera Work."
Daniele J Suissa
Directing teacher at USC, UCLA, and THE DIRECTOR STUDIO at CBS
"Hollywood Camera Work isn't pretty good. It's absolutely bloody astounding. After 7 years and 16 films, I'd expected I had a fair idea of at least the basics that the course covers in the first four or five chapters of the DVD, but I learned a massive amount within the first 20 minutes..."
