Rating : - less in the studio and more in the editors chair
Whilst what was on the DVD was mildly interesting, I think the makers have a cheek to call it in the studio with Michael Golden. There was no real discussion over his art and methods, and not much in the way of examples of his work. The packaging states that the running time is 90 minutes, The main interview was barely 30 minutes and he spent at least 10 minutes taling about editing comics.
Generally when running time is mentioned you expect that to cover the main feature and not to include all the Bonuses as well. these do not last 60 minutes unless my dvd clock is wrong. The bonus features are indeed of him drawing with some talk overlayed onto double speed photography. Given as the other reviewer has stated the low quality of the picture they could probably have done these in real time. I understand that Mr Golden does not do interviews often which is why I eagerly awaited this item, but he doesn't seem to have participated very fully and perhaps should not have agreed to the dvd if he did not want to be talkative. I was distinctly underwhelmed by it and if this is an indication of the quality of the other titles in the range then I will not be buying anymore and would advise other potential purchasers to approach with caution. If you want to have a better insight into Michael Golden then get the modern Masters book on Golden - which is great value and better serves the publisher and Golden than this DVD does
