“Lots of in depth things you can't learn on Youtube. His lessons are deep dives while still being easy to follow. He moves along quickly you may have to pause but its much preferred to having someone go on and on. I also like the length of the lessons. Which are fun and rewarding.”

After taking this course I have increased my cinematic sequence skills tremendously. Literally every part of my previous workflow has been updated and have learned a TON of new skills I would have never dove into on my own.”

Jamie Lancaster

Animation Director
“I would like to give a shout out to Josh Toonen for creating this amazing Unreal Engine course for filmmakers. Although there are some good tutorials online, they are all very disconnected from each other and don't provide the right tools to really learn the process. This Unreal course walks step by step through the process and doesn't waste any time doing so. I only wish I had discovered it earlier. This is truly the only course I have ever purchased, and boy, did I find it worth every single penny!”
Eduardo Anton
★★★★★
Production VFX Supervisor
“As a film producer I wanted to learn VFX. You've given me a lot more than I thought I would get with this course, knowledge and understanding of the particles and the Niagara system. it's a must have course for any filmmaker to learn these essential techniques for both film and game developing.”
