Buen curso, aunque algo corto en detalles, pero lo he aprovechado bastante.
me gusto mucho
Excelente
Es bueno, como su nombre lo indica, es intensivo, por lo tanto no se introduce mucho en detalles es mas bien como una introducción a como realizar un cortometraje en si, para mas aprendizaje creo que se debería mas ahondar detalles, y el estudiante aprender por separado cada aplicación.
Il bavarde beaucoup trop au lieu d'aller directement à l'essentiel
