5 Such a good course. I couldn't find much detailed info on the internet about blocking and motion in cinema. He had great live examples and I loved his breakdown of geometry in Roger Deakins's work and how Spielberg makes his shots. Cooper DeMar

5 Wonderful course! So many things! I really liked the analysis of the films and it would be really fantastic to be able to do more and more. Thank you very much for the shared knowledge and for the valuable advice! Antonio Coniglio

5 Back in 2011 I went to a professional film school and ended up with a Diploma in Motion Directing and Cinematography. If you cant afford expensive film school but want the no-nonsense, no-"BS" learning package, Vincent Laforet's course is probably the closest you can get. A huge knowledge treasure you can get for a fraction of what you would pay in a regular School. I invested in a one year membership subscription with the goal to refresh and maybe to learn new stuff. I haven't been disapointed. This is the real deal! Randy Tomlinson

5 This course is TOP NOTCH and a must for directors and cinematographers. Especially for those with small crews or doing a project solo, it goes over the roles and thinking and how to map a project & subsequent shots out regardless if you have a production team or if you alone ARE the production team. Follow Vincent's formulaic and time-proven coverage principles and you will be well on your way to a successful shoot. Dana Allen

5 Awesome Manal Talal

5 Loved it! Especially the case studies, very insightful. Fully practical lectures done with a talk less and show more mindset. Thank you! Andras Paul

5 Take notes. The amount of knowledge here is huge. Rodrigo Resende

5 Very informative for beginners to become a pro level cinematographer. Ravi Kaiwart

5 Better understanding on moving the camera. Great fundamental basics, no more flying blind :) rendy surindrapati

5 Well presented, visually stimulating and thought provoking - a great course from a talented artist. John Bolland

4.5 Fantastic look into movement, motivation and technical aspects. Great class! Benjamin Crenshaw

4.5 Great insight into pre-production and the director's thought process. Giles Mallard

4.5 As a long time still photographer transitioning into video I found this an excellent course. The format of theory-to practical-to theory is a very effective way to communicate the art of movement in film making. Really enjoyable. Marshall Cant

4 Great course to look at directing at a different perspective. His hands on courses are very helpful and uses different films to illustrate motion techniques. The editing portion of the course was cut off and felt out of place though. Brian Oh

4 Great course!! Very good analysis. Alejandro Welsh

4 Great to see behind the scenes work. I would have liked it to go even more in depth about blocking and camera movement, but it's a good intro into the field. Mohammed Al-Shubaiki
