Intermediate Studio Lighting
The classes were both incredible informative and fun. Great chemistry. And since there were people from all levels of experience, the instructor did a great job of explaining things to the less experienced while making it still relevant to those of us who had more experience. All in all a great experience, and I signed up for another class immediately. -
Stage Lighting Basics @ Hollywood
Exactly as advertised. The instructor was knowledgeable, friendly, accessible and we covered the perfect amount of material in the allotted time. I look forward to continuing my study of this subject. -
Stage Lighting Basics @ Hollywood
This is an excellent introduction to stage lighting! Jam packed with material, and well explained. There are lots of things that lights are doing, whether on stage or in daily life. Once done with the class, you will notice those little things so much more and be excited to try to create all kinds of looks with lights. If you ever had to deal with lights as a producer, director, or lighting designer, this is a very useful introduction. -
