TESTIMONIALS What people are saying about the 2-DAY Film and High Definition Camera Courses:
"I recently attended the 2 day camera operators course run by Free Spirit Film and TV and it provided me an extraordinary insight into the world of not just camera operation but also the film and TV industry as a whole right through to the final editorial process.
Chris’s passion and understanding for the industry strikes you from the moment you meet him, his knowledge has been gathered from years of experience and this alone is of greatest importance when attending a course of this nature. But even more crucial though is his ability to convey this to those listening and the way he does this is enthralling. The course content has a great balance of theory, technical and practical learning which is all taught in a way that can be understood by either a complete novice or those with a level of background knowledge. An important point is that Chris is also willing to concentrate on specific aspects of the course in more detail or even other areas that aren’t specifically covered that you want to look at in particular and this allows you to gain as much from the course as possible and individual to everybody. The course is aimed at all levels of ability and if you are interested in the industry I would not hesitate booking yourself a place. I was engrossed for the entire two days and even though it covers an amazing amount of material I still had a few questions I forgot to ask, but I left with the reassurance that Chris would advise and help me in any way that he could to enable me to pursue my career."
