Student Reviews
I loved the class, it was so well taught! It is definitely not a beginner class but there are already beginner classes out there. Loved learning the real nuts and bolts of a production shot. It was definitely challenging.
This is exactly the course I needed! Besides that, I have done several other courses which are a great complement. I really like Tamara's approach to teaching production. It was a class on matte painting that I had been wanting so much.
