80 days. 1,150 recordings. You’d think I planned to keep count, right? Truth is, I didn’t. I just dove in, day after day, hitting the record button during class times and letting the lessons unfold for Alpha Chromatica Education (ACE) Class 3 & 4.
This wasn’t about putting on a show. No marketing fluff, no rehearsed speeches. Just the raw, unfiltered grind of real teaching.
These recordings aren’t polished to look pretty or rehearsed to sound flawless. They’re messy, spontaneous, and unpredictable, like any real learning process should be. When a tough question gets thrown in, I pause, I dive deep, and I let it unravel.
There’s no cutting corners, no fast-forwarding through the grit. When I teach, I don’t sugarcoat or skip the tough parts. I’m not here to make it look easy. I’m here to show the work, warts and all.
I’m not here to give a highlight reel; I’m here to give the real deal.
Sure, 1,150 recordings in 80 days sounds impressive. But to me? It’s just the natural flow of putting the craft first, every single day. It’s not about chasing numbers or throwing around big stats. It’s about showing up, getting our hands dirty, and grinding it out.
That’s where the real magic happens, in the grind, the hustle, the unplanned moments that turn into breakthroughs for my students.
What they don’t tell you at those other schools is that the true learning doesn’t come from a glossy presentation. It comes from the unplanned moments, the mistakes that turn into lessons, the late nights when I dig deeper into the nitty gritty of compositing.
That’s the kind of magic you can’t script.
So if you’re looking for something clean and perfect, sadly you are in the wrong place. VFX has always been messy, and I surrendered to its chaotic nature long ago.
I show up daily for the gritty, the unpolished, the relentless pursuit of mastering the craft. And maybe, just maybe, that’s the edge I have.
