About the Reviewers

Chris Bryant, after standing in line for hours to watch Jurassic Park on opening night, was instantly hooked on motion pictures. He also realized at an early age that if you don't want to be filmed, you needed to be the one holding the camera. One of his first paychecks went to purchase an 8 mm camcorder, and his passion for video production has grown ever since. He edited his first video back in high school by chaining together two VCRs to create a thematic introduction to his Senior Project, and was a Media Arts major at Western Connecticut State University.

He eventually went on to start his own company in 2004 (look for Bryant Productions on Facebook) and films a range of promotional and internal training videos for companies nationwide.

For fun, he produces short films, including The Other Half, the first place winner of the 2009 Connecticut Film Festival's "24 Hour Cup 'O Joe Filmmaking Competition". He has experience as a voiceover artist and event videographer.

When he isn't shooting video or editing, he enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife at their home in New York City.

David Clarke started DVC Ltd in 1995, retailing custom-built computer editing systems using Adobe Premiere 1. DVC has expanded to deal with all the major editing programs. He has also produced many training videos on Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Encore. He has also run Premiere training courses for Buckingham Palace press office, Fulham football club, and the BBC.

He has directed, edited, and produced effects on the epic, 6-part-adventure-based BBC TV series Dr Who, which included a guest appearance from Jon Pertwee, his last time to play the role of the Doctor.
