Wow… What a turnout! This past Monday I did the Lighting back to Basics class in Coral Gables, FL and it went great. Close to 60 people attended and we had an awesome time discussing technical as well as practical aspects of lighting. The course was focused a lot on the properties of light and how to control them. Overall the reviews were very positive. By the way, I do take the time to read the comments people leave so I can learn from my mistakes. Hummmm, my mistakes (hehe) so many of them, but the participants were very kind to point out only a couple. You can see all the reviews here, but I’d like to take the opportunity to answers to some of the constructive feedback provided.
1) Too much material, we were a little rushed at the end: TRUE (SOOOO TRUE), I always try to pack too much stuff, I just love teaching and I want to share all the knowledge. I’m really taking this one to heart; I will limit materials in my next classes.
2) Maybe a little too much science/technical, I was expecting more practical: I understand the feeling, but my view for this class in particular was to really understand basics of light, its behavior and the properties so we can learn to control and use it more creatively and efficiently.
All the other comments were positive highlights, and since I’m not a narcissist, I’m not planning to post here a list of glowing reviews that would just pump up my already heavily criticized “Argentinean” ego.
Finally I’d like to thank all the participants, as well as ZiZi from Shoot Miami for giving the opportunity to do this and let you know that there will be more classes coming up soon.
