Acknowledgments

I'd like to start off by thanking my editor, Bob Eckstein, for his patience and input throughout the long process of getting this book on the shelves. Several people supplied both time and content to the book and have my sincerest gratitude: Damian Moshak, Amy Hammond, Brooks Graham, and Jason Weaver. The good folks at Studio Anti-Thesis, co-dependent productions, and ThemeWorks Music also contributed material that added to the overall professionalism of the book. I would like to thank Paul Wesselmann at The Ripples Project and Aaron Sherer at the Paine Art Center and Museum for their time and generous permission to use their video content. Christian Hessler, Eric Bolden, Jim Elliott, Tom Berry, and Michael Faurot all provided invaluable reviews and early critiques of both the book and the companion DVD. The book is better for their participation.

I also owe a great deal of thanks to my partner, Ron Becker. His unwavering support and encouragement helped me to overcome several hurdles. His continued reminders to relax and have fun also translated to a more enjoyable book—both to write and (hopefully!) to read.
