HOLA, ME PARECE QUE ESTA BIEN EL CURSO, PORQUE LOGRA METER UN POCO DE CONOCIMIENTO ANTIGUOS A LO MODERNO, QUE GENERALMENTE, ESTAS CUESTIONES MODERNAS NO TIENEN NINGUN SUSTENTO, YA QUE CARECEN DE FUNDAMENTOS TANTOS DE VANGUARDIA O DE MOVIMIENTOS CULTURALES IMPORTANTES QUE MODIFICARON LA VISION DE LO ESTETICO, EN LO VISUAL. SALUDOS.

This was en very nice and inviting way to get the feet wet with producing short video productions in an reasonably small setting. Thalia makes it approachable and it’s nice to have done a first project in this way.
It was also good to see all the decisions she made during shooting and editing. Turns out, you can just make an idea and realize it. Thank you Thalia!

This course is more suitable for beginners, with practical insights, particularly in the area of post-production and editing. Thalia de Jong's expertise is evident in this well-explained project-tutorial. However, the course leans towards a general overview, making it more suitable for those starting now, leaving more experienced users wanting a deeper exploration of advanced creative strategies tailored for brand filmmaking.
