The Guild of Television Camera Professionals : Zerb - GTCThe GTC's twice yearly journal has been around since 1. Guild was started. The hazy origins of its eccentric name may be hidden in the mists of time but the content of this well- respected magazine is always cutting edge and relevant to working camera crew. Each issue is edited by a different member of the GTC acting as guest editor with the overall operation overseen by a managing editor for continuity. This system ensures that material in the magazine is predominantly 'from the cameraman's point of view' and strives to be topical, objective and always of interest to those working professionally with cameras, featuring an entertaining mix of location reports, technical information and human stories related to the craft of camerawork.

The visuals completely overwhelm the story and characters to the point that it is rather distracting. The story is also way too straightforward for Alice in Wonderland. The performances are fine, but no one really stands out. Depp was the driving force of the hype and I was a little disappointed that his character really wasn't much. Him and Burton have created magic before, but this is not one of those times. It can be entertaining for sure, but it's forgettable and certainly one of the lesser Burton collaborations. Hopefully the sequel can build off of this and deliver a truly wacky story.
