How to Make Kheer (Indian Rice Pudding)

--Foothill High School (Sacramento, CA) ROP Digital Media Cooking Video Project

By class advisor Steve Dommer

Frustrated with the sub-par efforts being produced by students in his class, Dommer decided to do his own Cooking Video Project to show as an example what is acceptable for a decent grade.

Following a script, using multiple shots, close-ups, title screens and good audio are minimum expectations. Final editing is most important.
