What they are saying

"Absolutely loved the course. Ufuk really provides you with all the essential knowledge you need to start editing well- from creating a project and assembly all the way to doing sound design, great transitions and simple animation techniques."

- Ivan Petrov

"It was a great course. Ufuk’s natural enthusiasm for his subject and his passion for film shone through for the whole weekend. It was a really positive experience and I learned so much to set me on the right path. I can appreciate the difficulty of trying to impart so much knowledge in such a short space of time on a subject that is so in-depth and Ufuk pulled it off brilliantly. And I learnt how to make sharks fly! Who can argue with that? 🙂"
