Rack Focus Video School Testimonials

"I wanted to thank you again for taking time out of your schedule, and the awesome school you put on. I think it's great that you are helping others get into this field. I think I came in with the least amount of camera run time out of the group, I feel a 100% more confident in my abilities as a cameraman now."

Thanks, TJ Brubaker, Indiana - 2007 Spring Graduate

"I personally have been to two of the classes in which I have learned a great deal & enjoyed tremendously. I have received both my Level I & II Outdoors Video Certification through these classes. I guess the biggest accomplishment that came from the classes and my determination is that I have started my own Video Production Company, Scout Pro Productions LLC. Since then I have been very busy with weddings, promotions, events, commercials, etc. My company has "planted" a solid foot-hold here in New Orleans and the future is bright. I am recently contracted to shoot both a promotional video & commercial for a leading Louisiana Hunting Outfitter this season and am very excited about that."

Thanks for everything, Scott Owens, Louisiana - 2005 Level I and Level II Graduate

"With my experience level coming in, what I really liked about the class is that Rack Focus caters to the beginner as well as to people like me with a little more experience. I think everybody got what they wanted out of the class."

Thanks, Matt Rogowski, PA - 2007 Level II Graduate

"I took the class because I was interested in what different types of opportunities there are in the Outdoors. I watch a lot of the Outdoor Television on various networks and was very interested in how the camera operation works and the whole idea of filming in the outdoors while producing a show. I think RF really helped me understand that aspect of Outdoor TV Production."

"There was great communication between the instructors and the students. It was a small enough group that the hands-on experience was great. We could ask any question and they were able to answer it for us. I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn from the basic camera operation to extensive in-field audio, it was just a great class."

Greg Littrell, Missouri - 2007 Level II Graduate

"My experience with the Jack Pine School of Outdoor Production was excellent. After attending I feel much more confident in my outdoor filming skills. With the small class size and the hands on experience, I was able to learn a lot more in two days than I had anticipated. The guest speakers were full of great information, each explaining things in their own way. The instructors were very knowledgeable and willing to explain in detail anything we wanted to learn about. The wonderful outdoor setting topped it all off and I would recommend this class to anyone interested in outdoor videography."
-Preson Bovee, Michigan - 2004 Graduate

“I enjoyed the entire class, but there were a few things that really stuck out. One was just being able to discuss different topics and get different opinions from guys who enjoy the same things. The hands-on experience was extremely helpful in learning the basics in operating the XL-1. Also I enjoyed listening to the guest speakers, again hearing other people’s opinions and sharing ideas. I also thought it was great after we did the "real hunting scenario" getting critiqued by the instructors. It gave me new ideas and things to try as well as things I need to work on. Thanks again for everything, hope to hear from you soon about Class II!”
