I am a filmmaker from Los Angeles, currently based in Munich, Germany. I have over 15 years of experience creating high quality branded content, commercials, event videos, documentaries and more. I spent 7 years at GoPro as a Creative Lead and Filmmaker focused on outdoor/adventure content. I have created content around the world for internationally renowned athletes, major events and well-recognized brands. I am comfortable working as part of a 100+ person crew, or as a solo filmmaker alone on a mountain with my camera. When I am not making films I can be found in the mountains snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking or searching out another adventure.

As much as the info in the course was good, the video itself felt as if the person making it forgot to edit it. He repeated himself many times in the manner that indicated he was going to use the best cut in the final edit but then forgot actually to edit it. IT felt lazy and very scripted and not very well prepared. Definitely wouldn't want to go on and learn video making from this person if this is th quality he offers.

Great description of settings generically and how they affect video. Justin also provides specifics on GoPro settings and their affect. I appreciate the what and why of how he has his GoPro set up. Only negative is this series uses the old app, not the new one.

I am a beginner and this really helped me a lot to up my game in video shooting and editing. Justin even gave ideas about story telling which is like an add on and very useful for beginners like me. Great job Justin !!!

Great course and very in depth, though some bad editing (ironic) was distracting. Also, the whole section on editing was just different enough from the new App that it didn't help (but the concepts were there). How to build a Shot List for a story was my biggest take away.

I am thankful that I took this course. I own a GoPro nowfor almost a year and I almost did not like it. In fact, I stopped using it znd just used my phone to take videos. However, after taking this class, I now have a better understanding on how to use it. I think I will use it more to capture videos. I did try to use the apps a long time ago but i have problems on transferring the clips on my phone. I guess i would have to explore it again. Also, the part on editing on the apps is very useful to me... i never knew i could edit on the GoPro app until I saw it done here. Thanks much.

Pretty good info and the settings/pro tune adjustments are very helpful to get you started. The video is a bit unclear at times and unpolished - certain instances should have been reshot instead of correcting misspeakings and errors on the fly. There are quite a few cases where the audio and on-screen information don't match up, particularly when discussing presets/pro-tune settings. All in all, a perfectly fine introduction, but not a lot here you couldn't get from some free videos on youtube.

I m glad I have got a discount coupon for this class, but it is worth its normal price as well. Very good quality training. It could be bit more on some aspects like editing, but overall good course

It is great that he describe all issues so precisely and just simple. Also very helpful that I can easily stop playing and rewind back any part of guide. I like his voice and the way of explanation - direct and without pomposity. Sharing knowledge, I like it!

This is a really great guide. Extremely helpful. I am a beginner GoPro film maker and Justin just answered all the questions I wanted to ask. Exploring The GoPro Hero 9 without this guide would be tough. Justin explains all ins and outs in a very friendly and simple way. I highly recommend his guide.

Very in depth course! I was lost with so many settings and modes but this course broke everything down and showed me what everything does. My videos look much better now.
