I can't begin to tell you how much your lessons are helping me. I'm probably the brokest indie filmmaker on the face of the Earth, but your lessons have shown me that even with a limited budget, you can get great results by adhering to the basics of filmmaking. Thanks for all that you do.

Wow, this is an excellent demonstration of how topics like this should be taught. Felt like I was there and no detail was left out. Kudos. Truly makes your entire course well worth the price.

I should've skipped film school and just taken FilmSkills. Would've saved tons of time and tons of money.

I learned more from watching this than any other video I've seen. They should do this at film school.

There's something incredibly approachable about Jason's on-screen delivery. The content is top notch, and every single video I've seen here has been a goldmine of info and production value.

Fantastic! Finally, real info from a professional.

Really appreciated the details. This wasn't about a name brand type of light or piece of equipment but meat and potatoes filmmaking. Much appreciated.

Thanks a lot for creating this content. I signed up for FilmSkills Unlimited. Absolutely valuable course. I would go this far and say that this is the best online course on the topic. The catalog is broad and given the range of subject covered, the value is unbelievable. Highly recommended.

Finally, someone who tells the basics, but effective techniques in a simple way and not even losing the detail of the things. Good job, keep it up!

Man, you are seriously helpful. and seem like a super nice dude! Love your passion for light! All the best brother x

WOW! One of the best tutorials and breakdowns I've seen! Thank you so much for this!
