Enjoying the course content so far. I am quite experienced with Filmic Pro already so most of this is brushing up on stuff that I already know, while hunting for little nuggets of information that will be useful to enhance my workflow on image output. Really enjoyed the section on lighting as that tends to be my downfall - I think good lighting is ultimately what makes or breaks smartphone footage. Looking forward to your take on third-party accessories and will also be checking out your Filmic Pro course. Cheers!
