    Andre is a great videography teacher. He is full of wonderful stories, and makes the information easy to understand. Before walking into his class, I had a very limited idea of how to use my HDSLR for video. The other students seemed to be on the same wavelength as me, so that made the class fun. I feel like the shackle of auto has been removed. I have been recording in Manual thanks to Andre!

    Our teacher Raul Guereque was amazing and I HIGHLY recommend taking his class if you really want to get a good handle on the basics of shooting on a DSLR camera. On the first day of class he told us that we would never shoot on automatic again, and he was right! I have been using a DSLR camera for several years, and I learned more in the two weeks of taking his class, then i did in all the years prior combined. He was able to teach us the principles of using a DSLR (F-Stop, ISO, and Shutter Speed) in a way that was very digestible and easy to understand for any level. Then we were able to actually practice these principles out in the field, which made it even easier to understand. In two weeks, my photography skill level has changed tremendously, and now I feel a lot more confident and in control of my settings when using a DSLR. Take this class, and say goodbye to using automatic on your camera!

    Great class....Raul breaks it down without getting too technical making it easy to understand and follow. He makes sure that he can attend & give each participant his attention and help, as well as respond to each question. Raul even goes beyond class time to stay awhile & do more practice sessions & give additional tips & pointers. Thanks Raul!
