    He's terrific! This is terrific! I can't recommend Roger S.H. Schulman's tutorial more highly. I've read many a script but never worked in FD before, and thanks to this well conceived and well executed tutorial I feel ready to dive in with my writing partner. Roger was personable, he was knowledgeable, he broke all the areas of learning down beautifully, and he presented them in a way that took the daunting right out of them. Big thanks to you, Roger, for this excellent tutorial -- wish us luck with our unbelievably brilliant project, hahaha, but no, seriously, it is, you'll see...! ;)
