From the responses of Further Education:
2021-22
...thank you for your contribution to the development of education, thanks to which the wider and "lay" public can also be drawn into the world of film. :)
...so I would like to thank you one last time, after the course I look at filmmaking completely differently. Yesterday was very beneficial and I learned a lot of new things again.
I would very much like to have a meeting with Mr. L... regarding lighting and I am interested in the correct, or rather, the coordination of colors in individual clips of the film. I know that we worked with vectorscope, but I need to devote myself to it more practically. AG advised me an interesting thing for this coordination, which is to use a color table, the so-called Color Checker, or a simple table with 18% gray. I also really liked the work and post-process with the green screen. I would definitely like to repeat everything :-), I have more experience, so I would understand the lectures even more usefully. If another year of further education is being prepared, I would like to apply for it.
I can't help but thank you for your work, I really appreciate it.
The weekend lectures were the biggest benefit for me. The lecturers were really top-notch.
"I want to thank you once again for the opportunity to study at further education, after the first lectures I am already excited and I am very happy to be a part of it."
"I wanted to thank you very much for what I learned! I made a video that has already had 1500 views in a single day - it's not because of my filmmaking skills, but without that video it wouldn't have been so successful... In short, I'm glad that I learned something useful. Thank you once again for the encouragement and support that we all had in you."
"I can't help but tell you - or rather write - that you are simply AMAZING.
For this amazing opportunity, and in general for everything that you have done for me - and certainly for others -, for how nicely you coordinated it all, for your effort to help in all circumstances far beyond the scope of a "teacher" for all of it, THANK YOU VERY MUCH."
"...so I finally got some sleep from the action-packed weekend. We stayed up late on Friday and Saturday...
Anyway, I'm glad my travels led me to the ĎVFJ. It was enriching and I don't regret a single trip from Košice to Bratislava and back :)..."
