Hi, I'm Alex and I'm a filmmaker. I'm passionate about filmmaking, cinematography, VFX, and anything that is part of the filmmaking industry. So here will you find episodes about Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Cinematography, and many more. Since I started, I searched a lot for tutorials, but all of them were long and boring. I want to change that. Here will you find short classes which invite you to practice. I will not bore you with theory because I learned from my own experience that, without practice, you will not learn anything. If you want to learn even more, check out my courses: https://skillshare.com/r/alexsof
