That video example was absolutely brilliant! The cinematography was stunning, with beautifully composed shots and creative camera angles that really drew me into the story. The editing was seamless, with smooth transitions and a great rhythm that kept me engaged throughout. The use of music and sound design enhanced the visuals perfectly, evoking the right emotions at the right moments. Overall, it was a very professionally crafted and compelling video. The production value was top-notch, demonstrating a high level of skill and artistry. I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of this video example. It serves as excellent inspiration for aspiring filmmakers and creators. Well done to the team behind this outstanding work!

By Ben Nelson on 2/27/2024

I took this course to improve my pre-production process and storytelling. What information that was worth taking notes was surrounded by a ton of fluff. This course could've been 1-2 hours long with more examples given of how to actually apply what was taught. The examples that were shown really didn't show anything of value. I got more story insight from the links that were shared to external resources. I felt like I was just being talked at the whole time -- cut the fat and this course may have been worth it. I kept wondering when he was going to get to the point. This seemed more like a goal setting course for YouTubers and even then it would be subpar.

I have been producing videos on Youtube for 2 years and of course since I've been doing it for two years I had prior knowledge and ideas about what I was going for. I wanted to up my game and hear some other creators ideas about creating video process. If you are a complete beginner then I think this course will give you a lot of value. You will get clarity of what you want to do with your videos, and it will give you a workflow for creating videos which is one of the most important things on video creation process. You should do the exercises. If you skip exercises I don't think ideas will help you much. If you are an intermediate content creator, this course might add some thoughts and ideas to your current workflow. Which is exactly what it did to me. The instructor is very energized and the content is mostly smooth. One thing I didn't like was in every section of 1-2 video there is a lot of summarizing what is going to happen. I understand it is nice to tell people what is going to happen up-front but to my taste it was a bit too long. Anyways, thanks for the course and I wish everyone happy learning!

By Rogor Light on 2/18/2022

You definitely hit the mark in being what I was looking for as a new creator. The course did a great job in getting me to answer 'why' that I'm creating, followed by a methodical 'how' to plan and execute, ad all while developing a 'start today' mentality. Great course! You have me excited now about your other programs.

By Robert Cook on 3/29/2021

Once again, an amazingly fun and informative course from Julian. I recommend to anyone interested in learning how to bring a creative idea into reality to take this course. You will learn all of the necessary fundamentals in a fun, and intriguing fashion. Numerous resources bolster your learning quality in this course, complete with PDF Downloads and extra interviews from professionals who only want your success! 10/10 from me!

It's to early right now to judge the quality of that course (i've just watch 2 videos) lol => But Generally Julian make a good work (I trust him) So let's see now

By Aleksandra Kreicberga on 7/28/2020

Such an incredibly amazing course! Doesn’t only cover all aspects of video creator, but a mindset and will power on a daily basis! Been loving all of the assessments and tasks, they have really made me brainstorm, gain ideas and have a different positive view as a creator. Fantastic tips and tricks! Feel very inspired! So many ideas are going through my mind NOW! THANKS SO MUCH!

By Justin Rein on 6/25/2020

I'm really impressed with the course information and learning exercises!! I've taken a few online and in person filmmaking courses before and I really feel like this course the most. It's a perfect blend of lectures, teachings, and learning exercises. Plus the downloadable resources are quite helpful to follow along with! Really looking forward to putting into practice what I've learned so far!!! LOVED IT. 5 stars!!!

By Roger Reynolds on 6/22/2020

I have enjoyed it - however for me, rather slow paced - probably because I have been involved in writing music, Scripts, short stories. I'm specifically interested in the craft of making videos. From the remaining lecture content, I think this aspect will be more fully addressed. Thanks - all good - it's always beneficial to ponder on your motivations, ideas, etc.

By Brandon Hakim on 6/21/2020

Julian always makes top notch courses, and this time is no different. I enjoy watching, and learning from, first how engaging he's able to make his content with his videos -- and love, and learn from the content as well. Just started this course, but expect to get through the whole thing before the end of the day. Loving it so far
