After graduating from film school in 2009 I dove straight into the Toronto film industry Directing and Producing a variety of projects such as music videos and short films that have screened at festivals such as Tribeca and Toronto International Shorts. In between projects I also work on big budget film and television such as Suicide Squad and The Boys.
When not on set I'm on the road working with bands, shooting documentaries, and creating other independent projects. Even while traveling for vacation I can't seem to put my camera down, because when you're passionate about something it becomes second nature.

Tout à fait. Merci au formateur pour les précisions qu'il nous a donnés
By Frederic Journoud on 11/17/2020
This course is a good overview of the whole filmmaking process from end to end. Being totally new to filmmaking, it helped me identify the areas I can leverage from my experience as a photographer, and the ones that will require deep dives through more in-depth, specialized courses and actual practice.
By Cam Glynn on 8/23/2020
this is so basic, I could find all of this information on youtube for free production quality is lacking for a guy that is supposed to be teaching me about production quality cut into too many short videos
By Julia Qu on 5/7/2020
Even though I have not yet much experience in filmmaking I was able to follow the course, thanks to well chosen examples and well structured explanations. I can highly recommend it ! Obwohl ich noch nicht so viele Erfahrungen mit Filmmaking gesammelt habe, konnte ich dem Kurs dank sehr anschaulichen Beispielen und ausführlichen Erklärungen gut folgen. Ich kann ihn sehr weiterempfehlen!

This is such an insightful course. I like how Scott enhances his explanations by providing both good and bad examples of work. It makes the course very easy to understand. Also, I found the download documents a great help, especially the tips of when to shoot auto or manual. Thank you so much!

As someone having no experience with film, I was able to quickly identify the basic skills and equipment needed. There were some excellent tips and tricks about how to make each step of the way easier. I look forward to start some film projects on my own with this great course.
By Brittany Mark on 3/24/2020
This course has taught me so much! There are so many tips here that you wouldn't even think of until you hear him explain the importance and how it affects the final product from a viewer's point of view. The videos are very clear and informative. I am very happy with this course and look forward to taking more of his courses in the future.

Scott clearly knows his stuff. Balances the technical with the day to day practical aspects of his craft very well. Also seems like a down to earth guy with a knack for simplifying a very layered process - which is to say that he’s considered his audience well. Good stuff, look forward to his next course!
By Justine on 3/14/2020
I appreciated the high quality video examples provided throughout the course. This course was very clear for a beginner. Provides a thorough explanation of the foundation and reasoning why to select certain settings or equipment. He explains in a manner that makes sense and empowers the user to make the correct decision. Scott explains lessons with images, as a visual learner this was extremely helpful to develop my understanding further. Scott also shares the perspective of the cameraman and viewer, which is important and an area I would have overlooked.
By Rebecca Paquette on 3/13/2020
This is a straightforward and comprehensive course that provides all the basics and more! The way it's broken down makes the information easy to navigate so you can find exactly what you are looking for.
