Liked the conversation flexible approach in this workshop by James Laxton ASC.
Grant Walther
James does a great job inviting the audience to have an open conversation about cinematography. It starts off a little slow with the interview and camera angles we see, but then it quickly ramps up into conversations about lighting and we even get to see James in action creating different setups with more artistic goals, and pushing the camera and scene to the visual limits. Very informative and creatively inspiring workshop.

very interesting to see and hear James' approach to lighting and camera set-up as a key to telling a story and how his choices gives more 'freedom' of camera movement and how all this combined gives actors a more flexible space to act in.

This is an informative glimpse into the techniques, tools and artistry of a world-class cinematographer. I particularly appreciated the artistic discussions and insights into creative collaboration with the director.
Jon Betz
There are many masterclasses that are quick and lack depth, however, this really was a great learning experience. Not many DP's like to share information like this and it was so refreshing to listen to James Laxton. His passion for cinematography and his passion for film is inspirational and you finish the masterclass with sense of true passion for the art as well.
Sharad Patel
Interesting topics and stimulating examples
Rodolfo Rudy Fenaroli
Not as in-depth as other courses, but still a lot of great information in a short amount of time.

This was a great insight into a master of cinematography and his thought patterns on not only large format but also on photography on any format.
Marco Marco
Absolutely loved this. I need to rewatch this once more.

Exceptional. Presenter interacted admirably well with live audience and responded to questions with examples via on-the-fly changes to actual camera and lighting parameters - bravo.
Richard Townsend
Very insightful. Simple and knowledgeable conversation.
Siddesh Iyer
I hoped to see more on stage practical scenes but the information was good and helpful.
Luis Cruz
The course wasn't as technical about large format cinematography as I thought it would be, however it was great to hear about James' experiences shooting Moonlight and If Beale Street Could Talk, plus his thought process when it comes to cinematography.
Will J Carman
Pretty good course. Good examples from the movies and very well detailed by the instructor.
Terrell Epps
The last video in the series is by far the best showing more examples. When he talked about lighting for different skin tones, I would have liked a practical demo.
C Jones
It’s basically Q&A and a little bit of examples
