5.0 out of 5 stars My visual effects supervisor, 9 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I have met and worked along side Bernard on various projects in the past and can say without a doubt that he is a wealth of excellent knowledge and that by transferring some of it in to a book will help many others for years to come as it did when I was supervised by him. Real knowledge from an industry player.
