"Ray’s hands-on approach to producing corporate videos is on the money. The more you have figured out the details of your production prior to your shoot, the more you can duck and weave when issues do arise – whether you’re tasked with fixing a sudden script or location problem, cutting around a poor actor’s performance, or dealing with an unforeseen video tape problem in Post. The result is a production that comes in under budget and meets your client’s objectives."—Ralph Phillips, Blue Monarch LA Productions"Ray DiZazzo's The Corporate Media Toolkit takes you on a real-life journey every writer, producer or director faces daily working on industrial videos.
