The course is very well done, I highly recommend this course to anyone who is trying to learn both the theoretical part of film making but also to those who want to have a practical idea of how the whole video production process works: from pre-production to post-production, all accompanied by very practical and useful advice.

If you're hesitant about getting this course, then I'd just advice you to buy it now, because the only thing that would change would be it's price; when more people begin to find the hidden gems in this course that has been restricted by a paywall
By Robin Flanigan on 5/15/2024
So far, all good information. As a newbie, this is helpful but a lot to take in at one time. Might need to slow down the rate at which I am watching just to make sure I understand. This is completely new to me. However, the presentation is friendly, patient and well explained with answers to all the questions I would ask.

Loved it, on the edit videos, it would have been nice if he zoomed in and showed us all the buttons being clicked. The final cut edit videos he was clicking and moving stuff so quickly I got lost and couldn’t see what he was clicking and doing.
By Jeff Kent Files on 9/23/2022
It is well enough done so far but I am already familiar with the covered content. I will wait until we get to unfamiliar territory and see how well I understand it before I pass judgement on the quality of the teaching. It is pleasant enough to watch. The presenter is doing a good job.
By Baptiste David on 8/16/2022
Formation complète, avec des conseils pertinents. Permet de faire un tour d'horizon concret du sujet. A compléter par d'autres cours par exemple sur Adobe Première. Ça correspond à mes attentes
By Bruce Berman on 5/23/2022
Nice to know about adapters but if you don't have all these lenses to be adapted I'd rather just stick with what I have (which is a Canon Rebel and the kit lenses it came with). in other words, the basics for making a video.* * I realize it's nice to know more for the future.
By Robert J. Hantson on 5/20/2022
These guys are fantastic! They get straight to the point, keeping it generic for ALL levels of gear and don't leave the student worried that their gear isn't good enough. The way they explain things are detailed enough to help you learn exactly what you need to know without going down any rabbit holes or complicated explanations. I'm definately checking out other courses they offer!
By David Taylor on 3/4/2022
It has given me a good solid grounding to start working on my YouTube videos, which is why I picked up the course. I'll get producing a few videos and refer back, then once I have some more practical experience under my belt I'll probably move on to the Premiere Pro course, which I've already picked up.
By Stuart Aitken on 1/5/2022
I know some of the basics of taking videos and editing, but this course is improving my knowledge and understanding of what I should be doing
