    Good overview of the basics. My main critique is that the instructors seem to have expertise in particular aspects of production but aren’t necessarily knowledgeable in all areas, so what you get out of the course is limited.

    Great course for beginners with little or no technical experience. Covered camera, lighting, audio and shooting fundamentals. Small class size and great teacher!

    Class was cancelled last minute because of the snow. They gave me credit back, but would've appreciated a little something extra for the inconvenience.
