A must watch when you feel, you offhandedly want to drop out of regular school to pursue film... It is STILL WORK.
Loved it.
Aruho Manzi
Loved it! Especially the case studies, very insightful. Fully practical lectures done with a talk less and show more mindset. Thank you!
Andras Paul
Exceptionally amazing.. I liked this course very much. Camera motion can do so much in conveying emotion. Pre-prod is the key.
Alex Rajan
Wonderful course! So many things! I really liked the analysis of the films and it would be really fantastic to be able to do more and more. Thank you very much for the shared knowledge and for the valuable advice!
Antonio Coniglio
Such a good course. I couldn't find much detailed info on the internet about blocking and motion in cinema. He had great live examples and I loved his breakdown of geometry in Roger Deakins's work and how Spielberg makes his shots.
Cooper DeMar
Really good and helpful to understand how important is to know how the motion of the camera plays an significant role in the way to tell the story more effective.
Jose Eduardo Barrios Sotillo

Yiwen Wang
Amazing. Thank You.
Łukasz Kucharski
The warning slide at the beginning of this course was dead on accurate. It WILL ruin television and movies for you, but in a good way. Never had I been a course that will teach everything about shooting. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!
Terrell Epps

Matt Davey

I had been looking for a camera movement course for some time and was happy to find one one Mzed. The course is great and Vincent Laforet is a fluent teacher. You have to be very focused though, because he's going really fast. But this makes a dense course with a lot of substance.
Alban Cousinié
Brilliant course!

I thoroughly enjoyed taking this course and I believe I learned what I believe to be easily one of the most important aspects of filming which is motion. Shots with more motion and background action add so much depth to the scene and separates the average directors to the great ones and Vincent laforet is definitely in the class of the greats and provided great insight to the art of motion.

The best course on why, when, and how to move a camera, when filming a shot. Vincent Laforet is an amazing teacher - I can’t wait to put into practice all that I’ve learned!!
Sharath Pallemoni
A truly great course! Definitely content that I will be coming back to. I really appreciate the emphasis on the importance of pre-production. Theory and practical examples are very well intertwined and make for interesting lectures that keep on a steady pace. A huge thank you to the entire team who made it possible and also created an online version for students worldwide.

Carlos Ortiz
A lot of quality info with examples nicely condensed in a short course. I learned more then expected of it. Absolutely fully worth the money.
Jan Oudman
Very insightful!!! Loads learnt .
Gordon Black
The teacher is prepared and combines theoretical explanations with practical examples, also making demonstrations in real time.
I recommend this course to those who want to have advice on how to be a director and various information on how camera movements convey certain emotions.
Alessandro Iannella
Wow!!! Get a notebook ready because you're going to need it.

For a beginner such as myself, this class has been instrumental in completely shifting my whole paradigm when I view films. Some of the most amazing, well put together, and articulated information that a newbie like me could understand and appreciate. Thank you Vincent! Thank you MZed!
Russell Long
An absolute gem!
Tolani Mosweu
Well presented, visually stimulating and thought provoking - a great course from a talented artist.

Back in 2011 I went to a professional film school and ended up with a Diploma in Motion Directing and Cinematography. If you cant afford expensive film school but want the no-nonsense, no-"BS" learning package, Vincent Laforet's course is probably the closest you can get. A huge knowledge treasure you can get for a fraction of what you would pay in a regular School. I invested in a one year membership subscription with the goal to refresh and maybe to learn new stuff. I haven't been disapointed. This is the real deal!
Randy Tomlinson
Perfect balance between theory and real life examples!
Arnold Hammer
Absolutely awesome. Amazing finishing case study. Thankyou..!!
Nathan Musson
This course is TOP NOTCH and a must for directors and cinematographers. Especially for those with small crews or doing a project solo, it goes over the roles and thinking and how to map a project & subsequent shots out regardless if you have a production team or if you alone ARE the production team. Follow Vincent's formulaic and time-proven coverage principles and you will be well on your way to a successful shoot.
Dana Allen
This was an incredibly beneficial course. It's so valuable to see how a true professional director approaches and breaks down a shot, and the meticulous attention to detail that needs to go into every step of the process. Well worth multiple watches!
Peter Eastwood
Take notes. The amount of knowledge here is huge.
Rodrigo Resende
Better understanding on moving the camera. Great fundamental basics, no more flying blind :)
rendy surindrapati
À voir absolument. (A "must see")
Maixent KIONGHAT
Very informative for beginners to become a pro level cinematographer.
Ravi Kaiwart
What a perfect course : It is almost if we are in the room with Vincent! Every theoretical moments improved the live training sessions and reciprocally. A masterpiece with professional tricks.
Julien Gouz
The best course ever
Shan Yusaff
Perfect course! Really amazing guidance. Good combination of theory and practical. Nice professional tricks and tips. Thanks a lot for great course.
Raj Jadhav
Best one on MZED
Eric Niequist
Incredible is all I can say being able to see how the pros do it is something that not many get a chance to see. Thank you Vincent for sharing your wisdom in film making.
Chris Florence
This is the best investment I have ever made. No regrets. Thanks a lot!
Ibitoye Ifeoluwa
A Genuine MASTERCLASS!!!
Venkat M
Nice and clear!
Tobias Moe
Great insight into pre-production and the director's thought process.
Giles Mallard
Fantastic look into movement, motivation and technical aspects. Great class!
Benjamin Crenshaw
As a long time still photographer transitioning into video I found this an excellent course. The format of theory-to practical-to theory is a very effective way to communicate the art of movement in film making. Really enjoyable.
Marshall Cant
Interesting and educating, I learned quite a lot, thank you.
Christoph Janetzko
A very nice course with approved professional impact. Super interesting!
For me as a German viewer and listener (who is not so good in native American speach) ist was sometimes to fast but this is a problem on my side.
Juergen Jeibmann
Great course to look at directing at a different perspective. His hands on courses are very helpful and uses different films to illustrate motion techniques. The editing portion of the course was cut off and felt out of place though.
Brian Oh
Great to see behind the scenes work. I would have liked it to go even more in depth about blocking and camera movement, but it's a good intro into the field.
Mohammed Al-Shubaiki
Great course!! Very good analysis.
Alejandro Welsh
Surprinsingly disappointing:
- The theory is way too basic.
- The scenes from the "Schinder's list" are too simple for this course to spend time on them. The first one does not even have any movement.
- Some videos are just taken from youtube, and no new info or insights are added.
- The shooting of the action scene looks messy and amateurish, and so it looks the edited piece. Nothing learned apart from what not to do.
- There is a chapter dedicated to the editing of the pieces which seems to belong to another course (not "moving the camera")
- Mr Laforet's attitude to the students makes me feel unconfortable sometimes, it looks patronizing, making them repeat the list of cam movements as if they were children, also asking questions as if there is only one right answer, his answer.
The "make sense?" thing also seems like: I know it makes sense, I know it all, just asking rethorically.
The last chapter was interesting.

Awesome course!
