Course questions
Do I need cinema gear?
No. We teach craft first. You will learn how far a modest kit goes when light, coverage, and edit are intentional.
Is it only social content?
Social formats are covered, but the bar is professional stills and short-form video you could put in front of a client or hiring manager.
