I expected more

217 / 5000 Resultados de tradução I admire Aaron's work, but this workshop left something to be desired. And what was that long minute to edit a flare? They could have cut that part in the edit. I found everything very superficial. I expected more... :/

Amazing class, really enjoyed and learned a lot.

Awesome Automotive Class

Brent

I loved all of the information that was presented in this course. The information about spec work and pitching was especially useful for me. Plus, the step by step on how to shoot cars and what companies looked for and expected was well worth the price.
