Class Description
I don't give the highest ratings unless they're earned. This class could not have been better. Navin was well prepared, and the pace was excellent. The facility and and equipment were also top notch. I am pleased that I have the option to retake (audit) the course for a year but I feel that the material was presented in a way that made it easily retainable.
Students should bring headphones (with a standard stereo minijack) so they may better hear their own audio.
This class is taught by an experienced filmmaker and editor.
who should take this class?
Filmmakers, videographers, photographers, visual designers and other content creators who wish to create and share compelling movies. Basic computer skills required.
