Kolder Creative Filmmaking Course Review
I took Sam Kolder's Course on filmmaking! Overall I thought it was a great course for learning DAVINCI RESOLVE, PREMIERE PRO, & AFTER EFFECTS!
General Thoughts
I learned a lot of great transitions and how he does his transitions in After Effects. First thought - I think it is more of a specialty course, since it focuses on the post production more than the pre production and production part of filmmaking. I mostly bought the course to learn Davinci Resolve. He took me through his whole post production process. He goes step by step through Davinci and dives deep into what each tab does. He gives you his raw footage that he uses in his course so you can follow along with him which I liked a lot. He also gives you business lessons, how he finds clients, how to pitch the clients, how to price your videos, and more. He gives you a lot of little video lessons on other things as well, FPV, Technicalities (Shutter speed, Frame Rate, etc..), and more. But He doesn't spend as much time on these things as he does on Davinci, Premiere Pro and After Effects. He has two different prices for what you can unlock. I bought the all inclusive, so if you want access to everything then it is going to cost a bit more. The cheaper price just gets you the Davinci Resolve Course I believe. I think what I learned was worth the price, just the coloring lessons was worth the money because I was terrible at coloring in Davinci.
Pros
  • He gives you his raw footage to use to follow his lessons
  • Dives deep into programs such as Davinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, After Effects
  • He has downloads, discounts, possibility to work with him
  • Has a huge community that you have access too
  • Does Student Feedback Sessions
  • Gives you great insights on how to get in touch with the right people for potential clients
  • He goes through Each Tab you would use in Davinci in order to make a film.
  • The lessons are easy to understand and follow along
  • It is engaging
  • The pace is good
  • The quality of the videos are amazing like you would expect
  • Teaches you great transitions and tracking techniques
  • Lifetime access
Cons
  • Doesn't go into detail on technical stuff like video gear or how to shoot, etc.. It grazes over that stuff but this course isn't built to show you the basics of shooting.
Results
I would say I got the results I was looking for, I didn't know Davinci really well and I didn't want to learn from people who's work I didn't think was amazing. So the fact that I was able to find someone who has amazing work and does a thorough job explaining and showing you how to work through Davinici Resolve, Preimere Pro and After Effects was what I was looking for! The bonus video on the business part of being a filmmaker was also very helpful and helped me write my pitch for potential clients. You should buy it if you have the funds, if not then you should probably go to Skillshare or YouTube to learn the basics of Davinci. Overall I think it was a great course and you have lifetime access which is always a plus for me!
