"Paving the Way" is a fascinating glimpse into the formative years of the National Park Service, the personalities of its early administrators and advocates, and an understanding the Service's strong emphasis on recreational tourism. So many current national park controversies have their roots in the Service's dual mandate of balancing nature preservation with making the parks accessible to tourists. This film provides insight into how dependent the fledgling Park Service was on the support of the automobile-touring public and those organizations that promoted early auto travel to the parks. Through crisp narration and historical photographs and film footage, "Paving the Way" weaves together the stories of the many forces involved in building and promoting the Park-to-Park Highway joining the western "crown jewel" national parks and in formulating and promoting the mission of the National Park Service itself. - JUDITH MEYER, author, - WILLIAM TWEED, "This video history of the lives of my mother and father was a lot of fun for my sisters and I to do and a big thrill for our children. After watching the WHOLE 3.5 HOURS IN ONE SITTING THE FIRST NIGHT the kids first reaction was 'it was like watching PBS.' Everyone - particularly the subjects - remarked at the quality of the picture and the sound." -Eric Weidmann, "For the past 25 years, the wonder of public television has been the magisterial storytelling of Ken Burns. The work of Brandon Wade offers an exceptional complement, and even Mr. Burns would be pleased to say so. In Paving the Way, Brandon Wade has added a new originality to our understanding of the American land. By hitting the road Americans could finally see for themselves why the national parks were worth preserving. John Muir could not do it all. Paving the Way is a timely reminder that it requires visitors to save the parks. Whether you agree that the automobile is their future, its story here rings deep and true." - ALFRED RUNTE, author, "The viewer is treated to a cake with many layers and allowed to savor each piece of the story in a variety of forms in narrative, visual, and story form--through the old movie clips, Lucier dedication tour photos, modern views, and the small stories nestled within each section--giving us, the viewers, a definite sense of being there." - JANE WHITELEY, author, "I've had the opportunity to work with Brandon Wade on various events that we do at the American Diabetes Association. Brandon's professionalism, flexibility, easy-going personality and vision have not only made it such a pleasure to work with Brandon Wade, but have also yielded some of the most impressive, comprehensive and inspirational products I've seen. His talent and creativity are second only to his sincere passion for his work and his eagerness to help good causes." -Jennifer Hall- "The Visionary Reflections tag phrase says it all - inspired by the past, focused on the future. This company's creative talents are very evident in the final product they deliver. My customers have said about my DVD - very professional and well done. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone else in this type of business who can deliver a better product." -Helen Gibb- "I have had the pleasure of working with Brandon for the Relay for Life at Webster Lake for the past two years. He has captured the essence of our event through the many pictures he has taken and the wonderful videos. This year, he built our website to spread the word about Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society to our community. -Tracy Dalton- -Chris Cunningham- -Leslie Molen- -John & Dorann Bradford- -Frank G.
