Good
This class is based around a few projects. You will learn how to use a camera and the software, but you will put in a lot of work. He gives you lots of feedback on your videos during the production process, however you won't see actual grades until the end of the semester. Also,beware of the deadlines as he will not tell you when they are coming up.
