Didn't learn much as he didn't make class too engaging. Assumed you already knew how to use the cameras, lighting, etc. Acted more like a bystander than a professor. Took him for another class (documentary making) and same thing, just assumed you had skills because he gave one lecture on how to use sound tech/cameras/etc. Youtube would be better.

Jenkins did not lecture effectively and instead had us watch YouTube documentaries and interviews of animators instead of teaching us about animating. We were expected to animate as homework without being taught how, and were quizzed on material we were never taught in class. Unempathetic to student struggles and quick to become critical.

really great class. very short simple projects almost every week, but you can do them in one sitting. two tests that are fill in the blank, matching, etc not the easiest, but don't affect your grade much. final project took me HOURS but it was incredibly worth it. super cool guy, really friendly. really great about getting us materials we needed.

Chris is very knowledgeable and experienced with film production. His class is very engaging and project heavy which made it extremely interactive and fun! Quizzes are rather in-depth, so do pay attention to his lectures. Very enjoyable class and as long as you show up and do your assignments then you should have no issue receiving an A.

Chris is super knowledgeable & one of my favorite professors! We made 3 short films in groups & had 3 quizzes. He gave us extra credit with a lighting & editing challenge. Put in work for the films to get a good grade. Study class notes & read everything he posts on Gauchospace to do well on quizzes. I would definitely recommend this class!!!

Kind, passionate, and hard working Professor. He is always eager to give you feedback and help you get better. He is no pushover though. He will tell you where you stand and will be firm when he needs to be. Overall, he is the kind of Professor you will remember years from now and come back to visit.
