"My search is over! Kevin Walsh has created a fabulous resource for teaching the concepts of filmmaking, advertising and television production. As a high school Library Media Specialist teaching a course in television production, the Video Direct Guide and CD will take my lessons to the next level. The resource list of movies are invaluable and the student projects are creative and well designed. The four units and the corresponding projects could be taught in a semester course or over a year. The students should be very motivated to jump right into the projects!"

--B. McKenna, Renaissance H.S.

Pros: The Material Shopping List and Internet resources, the way the material is presented in four units with corresponding student projects, and the inclusion of student worksheets and rubrics.

Cons: There was nothing that I didn't like about Video Direct.
