REVIEW: Studio.com (formerly Monthly.com) course: Filmmaking and Storytelling with Casey Neistat

[@Penfriendrocks]

You made such a good point about how Monthly could have hired subject matter experts to give feedback! I knew there was no chance of Casey popping in, though again for the money perhaps he could have done a live stream or something at least? I liked bits of the class...my review is coming this weekend...

[@JamesHannonAuthor]

Thank you.. If the class was $40, the class would have been phenomenal. But at $249, when the teacher asks you to do ”homework”, you kind of expect somebody (even a Teachers assistant) to go over it with you

Thanks for the review, it's nice to hear what other students thought.

Best thing we could’ve found was that fb group…. I realized we were not alone in the way we felt

[@KeigoMoriyama]

Thanks mate! Ahaha don’t worry I know my name is difficult. Thanks for your honesty review. Is important for all of us and for them to make a better course

[@JamesHannonAuthor]

Thanks man…I completely agree - it has great potential, but without anyone telling you what you’re doing wrong, you’ll never know how to fix it…. For a $40 class I’d accept this, but not a $249 one Great meeting you, and I’m looking forward to what you’ll come up with next!

@@JamesHannonAuthor that would have definitely be a fair price yes

I found your review very honest, as a person who continues there education via online courses. This is a Great look into a course by someone whom actually took the course. There are so many "Review" videos that gloss over the importance of the feedback from those courses. I see way to many instructors, that while great in showing the How, fall short on the "Why" of any given technique. Which is the most important factor. If I know why A Particular tool, or technique is being used, I'll know when I need to use it in the future. That's what instructor, and Peer review should help you towards as well. It's all good if Your fellow classmates are offering feedback, but if the "Experts" and instructors (The reason you probly gravitated towards the course in the first place.) Are not Chiming in then why bother. Again thank you.

[@JamesHannonAuthor]

Thanks man. I agree with you 100%. The proof of learning is being able to use what someone told you in a practical setting.. if you make a mistake when applying the teachings and are not corrected, you’ll never know you’re doing it wrong

[@StoneFistedProps]

@@JamesHannonAuthor Absolutely

Thanks for your review! Please speak a little slower. Not everything was easily understood in your speech. 🙂

I really tried to go slow, but once the camera started rolling, I speed up. It’s been a problem all my life - I’m just a fast talker - I remember my first and second grade teachers used to try to slow me down
