"I can hardly praise this book enoughShould every documentary student read it? Certainly. Should every documentary filmmaker, no matter how experienced they are, read it? Certainly."—Film Quarterly "Just as Rosenthal's books and films are about ideas, so his book is about 'above the neck' (as distinct from 'hands-on' skills). . . . The book is a major contribution to the literature of film teaching."—International Documentary "Any writer entertaining thoughts of turning computer work to camera work would do well to read this classic guide."—Clockwatch Review: A Journal of the Arts
