5 Alex course is, as usual, both entertaining and useful. The parts about subtexts and art are really enlightning and mind opening about what visual storytelling is really about. Julien Gouz

5 Great course!!!!! Alejandro Welsh

5 A good all film theories to try to make your own. Alex did a great job holding my attention, I only fell asleep twice. George Anderson

5 Really fantastic look into the visual art of storytelling. Trickled throughout are valuable tips and tricks to elevate your work, with the true takeaway being "create what speaks to you and has meaning". Great work Alex and team! Joe Blodgett

5 Aside from all of the practical stuff, the final lectures opened up my mind and made me want to experiment more. It reminded me of the book "Steal Like an Artist" except Buono goes into more detail. I LOVED THIS COURSE AND I WANT MORE!! Adler Lafleur

5 This course give me so much knowledge. If you haven't see season one then you should definitely watch season one first. It's amazing. I learn so much about the lighting technique, camera movement and how to construct the story. I used to be very confused about this topic but now i won't feel troubled anymore. Thanks again and please forgive my poor english! Yiwen Wang

5 Great stuff Anthony Bentley

5 If you know that expression, "food for thought" think of this course as the "all you can eat, buffet version". It is so jam packed that watching only once won't cut it. This course could be a source of inspiration and ideas over and over again. Awesome. Marshall Cant

5 I enjoyed the demos throughout the course where we got to see practical uses for the lighting techniques from the lectures. The subtext lectures were awesome and will definitely be something I refer back to in the future. Joshua Carroll

5 Really really nice. Nikhil Kripalani

5 Awesome NAVNEET JARGAR

5 Fantastic! Gianni Bonardi

5 Concise and inspiring, a great combination of techniques and tricks to put to use in the next shoot, with a great contextual overview to think about your art. Art Stevens

5 Wow. Fantastic course. The subtext portion is WORTH the price of the course alone. Terrell Epps

5 A really excellent no-nonsense course breaking down stylistic elements across a huge array of genres. Alex is fun and knowledgeable. One of the best online courses I've watched. Excellent for beginning or intermediate DPs/Filmmakers looking to dive deeper into the theory and craft of visual storytelling. Joe Henry

5 Just outstanding. Wilbur Nelson

4.5 Interesting, fun to watch and dense. Alex Buono is the perfect man for a visual storytelling course. Pino Sartorio

4.5 This is a solid course that not only touches on shooting many different genres on different budgets but also delves into the complexity of storytelling. Marco Marco
