'It was greate time. Wonderful two weeks.'
........
'I'm still assimilating all the knowledge I have learnt and putting them into practice.
........
'I feel that this course was a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet so many very talented like-minded cinematographers to train under worldclass award winning cameramen to learn from them and to learn from each other. I learned much about my craft and also more importantly learned that there is a multitude of different techniques that one can use to achieve one's vision. Everyone has a different solution to the same problem; this is important to understand in order to perfect one's style. I feel that this two week masterclass was invaluable to me for my future development as a cameraman.'
........
'I think this is the highest course a young cinematography student can take before going in profesional and artistic career. After taking the masterclass I feel that now I don't need so much to learn, but start exploring and search for the ideas I've learned.'
........
'This course was the most valuable part of my life not only I learned about cinematography but I also learned about moral value in life, that is because I observed how people in Budapest live and respect each others. '
........
'Beyond certain common recommendations, what we understood from these exercises was that lighting technique is also a cultural phenomenon.'
