I'm learning SO FREAKIN MUCH from it, and it's totally blowing my mind. Thanks so much to Gil and Alex for putting this course together. I'm a director working on my first horror film, which has a bit of action in it, and this course is totally giving me rocket boots.

If you have more courses from Gil, please let me know and TAKE MY MONEY. - Colby R RiceExcellent content. But you'd better pay attention or you will miss something.
