The topics are in line with my expectations, a good entry level course. But the quality of the videos could be better, which is quite ironic for a video production course. He sometimes refers to words he'll put on the screen, yet I haven't seen those yet.

By Dycus Vision Production Llc on 8/5/2020

Still watching, trying to see if its worth my time..

By Benjamin Sterne on 7/19/2020

I enjoyed this class. Having different techniques followed up by examples was helpful in understand what the instructors meant.

Because I might actually take up making films

By Jamia Seifert on 6/24/2020

Great information since I teach high school digital production classes.

By Wendell Querubin on 6/7/2020

More power to you guys and your course!

By Will Stedman on 5/16/2020

Good course for teaching basics. Thanks!!

By Patrick Tolan on 5/12/2020

Very interesting course! I needed something to learn from so I could start doing some independent filmmaking and this online course has helped learn more about equipment, different perspectives of the camera and special techniques to make shots more cinematic! I definitely learned a lot and it was well worth it! Thank you so much!!!

By Imraan Zishan Dixit on 5/7/2020

It was an amazing experience. I have learnt more than i expected.

By Jared Baker on 4/25/2020

Still Pretty early... not sure if I purchased the right course. I was hoping to learn more about editing, cutting, croping, layering... etc. But I have learned a fair amount so far. Not yet over or underwhelmed.
Edit: I understand this course now is more about the filming process. Extremely glad to be learning this as there's a lot of tips and standards I may not have learnt otherwise. Very cool and intriguing course. the only negative Ill offer to say is in some off the audio I can hear the mans pasties. Dry mouth. Whatever its called and that makes it kinda hard to concentrate at times. very distracting, for me.
If I could suggest using some of the techniques your teaching while explaining certain topics, might make the still video more intriguing, exciting... creative. 4 stars for now. will likely be 5 by the time im done. I Love THIS course so far. Bottom line. Thank you.
last edit: Finished the course and I'm excited to film mymfirst short. definitely still lots to learn as the learning never truly stops but I am excited nonetheless. thank you and everyone who has assisted you with the production of this course. its helped tremendously and I will highly recommend this in the future. bon voyage

By Michael A Thomas on 3/10/2020

By Lukose P Abraham on 2/27/2020

Great learning.. One suggestion.. It would be great if you can print out the equipment name on the screen as you are explaining it.
