Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"Herb Zettl continues his classic tradition of providing a comprehensive and up-to-date textbook for video production. It is an honor to be associated with such a tradition.""I think the textbook is really quite fantastic, and great for students who want to continue to production outside of the university [...]"
"Zettl's TELEVISION PRODUCTION HANDBOOK is a comprehensive text that provides useful information in a clear and practical way. This is a good example of an interesting text created by an insider who knows television through actual experience. The book lays out the foundation for understanding how to create television and works nicely when combined with actual studio production."
"I enjoy the author's writing style. It is clear, interesting, and intelligent. We have all seen textbooks that take 500 pages to say what should be said in 200 pages. This is not one of them. The writing and the illustrations combine to make a great learning experience for students."
