El curso está bien y el profe un lujo, sin embargo este curso hay que actualzarlo, debido a que hay aplicaciones de edición nuevas y muchos proyectos finales ya lo han sacado de las plataformas de presentación de videos. Además de nuevas tecnicas.

I attended a course about a year ago where I learned the basics of making a stop motion video. I would like to refresh and deepen my knowledge. This course will definitely be good for that.
