COMPLIMENTARY REVIEW (from TRAINING MEDIA REVIEW)

Implode! is a blast. It’s got an odd but winning combination of tongue-in-cheek humor, a sublime visual effect, and some down-to-earth lessons... This team has an unsentimental and increasingly unfashionable approach to trust: You earn it. Team members are trained in the field under close supervision. If they perform well, they receive trust. This isn’t Internet time where in which you get raw recruits, give them a title and assume they’ll do the job just fine.

This film is more visual than most. Yes, it has talking head interviews, all done in the field but with an undertone of humor, as if folks are about to burst out laughing and ask, "Can you believe we do this for a living?" The big visual appeal, though, is the sublime sight of large buildings, sometimes whole blocks of them, crumbling into neat piles. Implode! cleverly exploits the value of entertainment - in this case, the awesome sight of buildings collapsing after having their structural knees knocked out - to get the training message across.

This training package includes a workbook with the video.
