El paso a paso que da Luci me ayudó bastante para aplicarlo a mis proyectos audiovisuales. Me hubiera gustado que los materiales también vinieran en español, pero por lo demás, excelente!

La información que da Luci es muy buena, dado que desde los dos lados en la que me encuentro es fundamental conocer aquellos fundamentos y/o información que se pasa desapercibida, me ha gustado el contenido, la manera de abordar el tema y continuidad de cada uno

Aunque empecé el curso creyendo que estaría inclinado más desde el lado actoral y no tanto hacia cineastas, he de decir que he aprendido mucho y me llevo mucha información que desconocía.
Gracias Luci por tu dedicación y detalles!
