Our online classes
Our classes are pre-recorded workshops. The videographer was the only student in the class. The videos show details of techniques from different angles and zoom into actions to give each student a front row seat in the class. We convert a 5-days in-person workshop to a 6-weeks online class and students have 4 additional weeks for reviewing. Shorter time frame classes are available. Our instructors are professional and established artists who are available to answer questions and assist students in the execution of the projects. |
