Its broken down in a nice simple way the makes you understand the why.

By Adalsteinn Örnólfsson on 9/25/2025

Learned a lot from this video. Well explained course for driving in pictures and videos, both indoors and outdoors. Now just use this information and make a video yourself. Thank you!

By Jody James Hill on 10/4/2024

Very good straight to the point teaching

By Aðalsteinn Örnólfsson on 11/15/2023

Very well explained everything about cameras, recording, lights, lenses, cameras and much more.

By Dr. Dave Hackett on 11/8/2023

I am enjoying the content but I have to admit the constant hand movement and the extreme talking speed are a little “off-putting”. I understand why one would need to do this on YouTube where the object is to capture the attention of scrolling individuals with no particular interest in a topic, but here we are literally invested in learning a subject and we want to be able to focus on every word of the knowledge he is sharing. Plus a keen learner needs a reasonable “frame rate” of incoming ideas to be able to assess the info and integrate it with other knowledge and experiences.

By Sunny Heera on 10/12/2023

Great course! Highly recommended. I do a lot of video recordings and learned a lot from this course.

By Michael James (PSM I, PSM II, PSM III, P on 10/11/2023

A great course that taught me the theory of videography. I'll get more from my camera now. I recommend.

By Chris Levitt-O on 10/11/2023

It’s been a really useful course for me. I create videos and I’ve been using auto settings for a while. Now after watching this course I’ve learnt a ton about the theory of videography and I’m now starting to use manual mode on my camera and I can really see the difference! So I recommend this for video makers who want to make their videos look more professional

By Ramon Janssen on 10/7/2023

Great course, normally you have to watch those long courses with all kinds of photography information but I only use my camera to make videos. So, I found this a very helpful program to get straightforward practical information on how to make better videos with my camera.

By Suzanne Weller on 10/5/2023

It is a lot to take in, for sure, but so much I didn't know about frame rates vs resolutions! I will need to review a few times more, but the information is fantastic.
