Everything explained clearly and simply, happy to answer questions, very interactive

Candice – 15 October 2026

I liked the structure of the class, really easy to understand.

Natalia – 4 September 2026

Great to go through everything slowly to ensure we understand every aspect of the process and the rationale behind it.

Phil – 26 August 2026

Course was brilliant, fast pace but with opportunities to pause and check things. Felt very tailored to each of us too, random tips thrown…

Sarah – 26 August 2026

Having the right equipment for my needs, providing shortcuts where needed and being pretty patient with a novice student.

Vicky – 26 August 2026

Making difficult problems easier for this Luddite. A lot to take in but super helpful.

Very good at demonstrating the elements of a finished video, including the order of edits, which made the whole process feel intuitive.
