Kevin Cordell –
I found Robb’s course very thorough and informative for a relative newbie to filming. I took this course because I wanted to learn how to make better videos to use in my business through video testimonials, interviews, and short films on conferences that I attend. This course was complete in how to make videos and short stories with photos. This supplements other courses I have taken on how to take better pictures with the iPhone or a DSLR. I have already acquired a lot of gear and now looking to get busy making films.
Thanks Robb for a great course!
Brian Douglas –

Great Course! Highly recommended.
I love mostly any topic related to storytelling, the 6 shot method, the shooting and editing for storytelling, the storytelling in sequences, the continuity, and the editing.
Robb is extremely knowledgeable, and every topic in this course is very well covered.

Made video making much easier than it was for me before this class.
Catherine Solsvig –
So far, so good! only 5 video lessons in, but already was introduced to the ‘music’ aspect that I had no idea about. Looking forward to getting into it!

There is no mention of needing Filmic Pro to complete the course but already alot of focus on this app, which I do not have. Also, there way more focus on the IPHONE than on the Android and I was expecting just a much “how to” instructions on the Android.
