Acknowledgments
So many people and organizations contributed to this project. I have listed some of these contributors below. Of special note is Asbury University, my school, which has allowed me the flexibility to stay involved in professional television production around the world.
The editors at Focal Press have been encouraging and helpful in many ways:
Emily McCloskey and Elise Poston.
The following video/television professionals agreed to be interviewed for this book:
Ben Brown, Keith Brown, Tommy Brown, Chad Crouch, Noel Dannemiller, John DeCuir, Ryan Hammer, Sarah Hogencamp, Kristin Ross Lauderbach, Tommy Mitchell, Lou Moore, Scott Rogers, Robin Sjogren, DT Slouffman, Brock Smith, and Nathan White.
