I watched this one because I am a beginner with IT, I have even until now never used it before
(still waiting for it to arrive). But as to the DVD: it's about an hour long and you get to learn
the effects outlined in the add, fair enough. It starts with a performing-section, followed by the
explanations. He even explains how to "harvest IT", so in the future I guess one didn't have to buy
it anymore if one felt like doing the work (and no, he is not harvesting them from chinese
caterpillars). There is nothing much too write, it's basically solid, LeClair a nice guy and don't
expect someting fancy or funny during the instructional part, but this is the good thing: I compared
his method to the method of the "floating dollar bill" as explained in the instructional video, and
think his handling is much better. Can't write too much about it (exposure), I guess, just let me
say "hook-up". I think it's so obviously superior, I'm thinking maybe it's copyrighted or someting.
All in all very convincing and the vid has sold me on the idea to give it a try, I actually
didn't want to get involved with threads, just scared me, which I guess got addressed in the title
of this video. LeClair uses one basic method to do all his tricks, so one does not have to learn
many different concepts for different effects. It looked simple enough to roll with it. It lost one
star because - and I am mainly guessing - in the meantime there are appearently more advanced props
out there, reels and the like, which I can't judge due to inexperience, but it would be cool to
learn how you can back off from objects and still have them floating, for example (which I know is
possible). I think this vid has not exactly been recently shot.
