It is a great course with many useful 'real-world' pieces of advice from high-level cinematographers. It is not the kind of knowledge you can easily find for free online.

The course is very interesting, but it's really badly filmed... It's a shame given the subject.

Thanks so much for this course, content from both Paul and Stephen was amazing. Apart form excelent technical description of lightning an interview it was stellar to hear lot of CONTEXT troughout the course - how to simple thing up when in rush, how to comunicate with interviewee and director, etc. This is something which I really appreciate and find most valuable for me personaly especially because I find context missing in lot of contemporary courses.
I must unfortunatelly take 1 star of for awful camera capture of whole second half (Stephen lectures) - In first half at least at most key moments (light change, lecturer referencing something in frame) camera op tried to frame the external monitor. But second camera op just gave up and showed the display maybe few times troughout the whole two hours. Maybe let the camera/recorder roll and show the small preview in corner of course screen next time?

Very informative into the thought process of lighting people in both indoor and outdoor scenarios. It was good to get the perspective of 2 seasoned veterans. The only gripe I have is that at times it would have been nice to show full screen what the camera was seeing. I don't think they were recording on that camera, but there were a few scenes where that would have been helpful. Instead they were showing the DP talking when we should have been looking at the subject who was being lit. Also, a little extra effort in editing could have been done to show overhead diagrams of the scene with lighting setups, and perhaps listed some of the equipment being used, but not the end of the world.

The Teacher is good but he speaks kind a slow.
