Really basic information
By Matt on 6/13/2024
Very practical and usable advice. The tips can only come from someone with real field experience.

Very good course. Concise & to the point. Informative.
By James on 11/30/2019
Information seems rather basic. Each segment was very short. More examples I think would help. Over all I just felt it was thin.
By Carlos L Polk on 11/25/2019
It was pretty cool I Purchase the cost mainly to learn how to better service clients in which I received more of that at the end.

Ottimo corso ricco di contenuti utili per avere un primo approccio a questa bella attività. Tuttavia per evitare la monotonia espressiva sarebbe stato meglio una variazione di inquadrature e qualche video spot di esempio.
By Theresa Soares on 9/4/2019
Very informative, Best class I've taken on the subject thus far. The instructor went into very good detail on each topic. I feel I'll return to the course to revisit different topics as I go along. Very good.

Pros: He knows what he is talking about and has the right mindset. I learnt a couple of things. It's a good framework for someone starting out running a video production business. Cons: Too concise for the price. Would have preferred more in depth content.
By Darrian Alexander on 9/22/2018
Great content, great quality, great advice. I wish there was more detail on employing freelancers to work for you.
By Leonard Tan on 1/17/2018
The lesson on perceived value is very useful. The short lessons are on point. Clear explanations. Thanks for sharing.
