Alex Buono is amazing!
Ajay Paul Singh
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.

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
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
Wow. Fantastic course. The subtext portion is WORTH the price of the course alone.
Terrell Epps
Great stuff
Anthony Bentley
One of the most inspiring courses ever.
Giovanni Bomben
Absolutely worth every second of your attention. Alex approaches filmmaking alongside you in a very real practical way. If you’ve watched his first lesson series this is a perfect and more up to date partner to that. Seriously hope MZed will have him teaching on again soon!!!
German Disla
Excellent course, both the larger number of specific demos and the deep dive into visual subtext to cap the course are giving me a great deal to think about for projects going forward.

An absolutely mind-blowing wealth on creative and technical knowledge, skills, techniques, and new forms of trying and exploring the craft of story-telling, more specifically, lighting and cinematography. Having attended his first tour of workshops, that was amazing, but this second tour, Visual Storytelling 2, was so packed with info that was informative and inspiring - to perfect and improve the art and skills I'm working on. I was so impressed with Alex and his articulate and down to earth advice and direction. I highly recommend this course, and cannot wait to review it again.

Fabulous course!
Fidel Ventocilla
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
Alex shows simple and achievable lighting demos that can be applied by anyone with any skill level.
Shawn Yeo
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
Really really nice.
Nikhil Kripalani
Simply amazing!
nermeen kamel
Fantastic!
Gianni Bonardi
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.

Packed chalk full with tips, tricks, demos, theory, and more. This one is even better than the first he did. Now to find some jobs to use what I've learned...
Boone Sommerfeld
Great! Thank You.
Łukasz Kucharski
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
Just outstanding.
Wilbur Nelson
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
Love it. I learned a lot from Alex.
Mohammed Al-Shubaiki
Mind blown! So very rewarding with a great amount of thorough explanation. Feeling enlightened, inspired with a reignited passion for my industry thanks to Alex.
Giles Mallard
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
Interesting, fun to watch and dense. Alex Buono is the perfect man for a visual storytelling course.
Pino Sartorio
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
Great resource! I knew much stuff but good summerized. But the stuff about visual subtext, golden!
