"This is an essential book to both production and post professionals. Multicamera production is becoming increasingly relevant to many different genres and I can think of no better expert than Mitch Jacobson. He is both knowledgeable and very generous... making this an essential read."--Richard Harrington - RHED Pixel "The book is a treasure chest of all things multicam. At 449 pages there's tons of good information in the book from cover to cover. If you want to learn about multicam editing then this is the book for you. As an editor who's cut a lot of multicam over his career I'm still learning as I make my way through the book."--PVC
