Instructor Details

Julian Melanson

"I'm a full-time film director & bestsellinginstructor who teaches aspiring video creators how to createincrediblecareersandvideos.

As a young kid I'd listen to music with my headphones onfull blast, imagining scenes and stories that fit together perfectly with all thesounds I was hearing.I then quickly found my life's passion,creating films that engage the visual and auditory senses inways that move people.
Today this passion has lead me to do the same thing, on a much larger scale.
Through creating highend commercials withwell-established clients, artists, and brands from around the world,Ive discovered what make films great.
I found out that it doesnt matter what budget you have, which software your editing on, or what equipment you own.What DOES matter are theunderlying principles and techniquesbehind what you do that creates somethingamazing.
Learning this on my own outside of traditional schooling,I truly wanted to create a space where others could benefit from the knowledge I'd gained.I created a youtube series designed tohelp creative minded, turn their passion into a career.
Today, this channel has been showcased by film festivals and websites such as,"NoFilmSchool" withover3m views &46k inspired followers.<

so far so good.

By Ronald Salazar on 10/13/2020

From 1-5 ,I will give a 3 to this course.
There are few key nuggets in this course that I liked . Example : Demo reels , balance between music- film and video proposal ). On the other hand , there are lessons on this course that I already learned in college ( Business etiquette emails, business cards , importance of online presence ). I felt a bit disappointed with this section.
In short , If you don't have knowledge at all in the business and filmmaking industry...then this is a good course.

I can resonate with the coaches, this is exactly what I wanted to know.
