I am enjoying the course so far. I have taken other courses by Huw and find them very informative and I like his method of delivery. I enjoy listening to him. I think I will enjoy this course very well and will learn a lot from it.
A great all-round review of what's required when making professional looking videos on a budget and by yourself. All major concepts covered from locations, cameras, lighting, microphones, autocues, editing software to even presenting tips. Brilliant!
No tutorials are given in this course. Only lectures and useless.
Good explanations in details about the topic which he is speaking about.
Yes I think so.
Extraordinarily informative, easy to comprehend even for a beginner such as myself. Highly recommended.
Excellent, Thank You!
It was a quick and yet extremely enriching course.
Smooth and easy flowing...
I learned what wanted to know.

Thank you very much Huw for your course.
It wasn’t the course that I was looking for. As I said in my initial reason for choosing this course was to improve my taking and editing of drone, underwater & Land based footage of mostly nature and landscapes.
However. I have been most pleasantly surprised. I have made a green screen out of an old shower curtain, a teleprompter from my iPad and a polystyrene vegetable box and been enthused with the picture in picture mode, which I have been incorporating into my footage.
Your notes on lighting and sound have been most useful here as well. I shall take many of your tips forward into my future work. 👍
Again thank
