"I am impressed with Jerry Day's ability to pack so much useful information
into a twenty minute package. His direct, no-nonsense style leads the neophyte movie maker
on a fascinating journey on the nature of light and how to control it to bring out the most
emotional value in any scene.
What I like most is that he did not talk down or talk over the heads of the viewers.
His fast-paced style forces the audience to pay attention so they can absorb all of the tips,
tricks, and applications. His directness speaks to his believability and gives authority to the smallest detail."
-- Tony Luna, instructor, Art Center College of Design
