    Interesting class, with good impulses on how to deal with people in front of the camera and how to make your life easier as a videographer. The enthusiasm is palpable.

    Abba was great at explaining why you would do a specific thing in an interview and also the editing as well. Well worth watching.

    At first, I felt like the class was difficult to get into during the "live" instruction but quickly found after the first few classes that the information was extremely valuable. Maybe it was just me- maybe it just wasn't my style at first. I absolutely would recommend this class to anyone interested in learning interview or basic film skills. It's brilliant!

    I found this course very helpful and I recommend it. I picked up a lot of tips, and frankly this course made me realize that putting more preparation into client interactions AND using a more sophisticated production pays off in higher quality video. I wish he had gone into more detail on microphones and camera gear but I can pick that up on review sites.
