“My experience in Camera 2 with Mighty Tripod Productions has helped me make amazing progress in front of the camera. I truly believe that focusing more on scene study in this class has helped me to reach a new level of authenticity on film. It was a great blend of receiving acting and technical feedback. The great thing about the teachers is that students get very honest feedback that helps them improve a lot faster. They are also readily available for all questions in and outside of class and are incredibly helpful in providing advice about the industry. I very much appreciated my time in the class and feel that I have improved and learned a great deal. It is most definitely time well spent training in Camera 2.
~ Rebecca Kim

“Working with Mighty Tripod in the Camera 2 class has been instrumental in re-framing how I approach my scene work and character development. They offered challenging alternate choices for given situations that gave me the freedom to continue to discover nuances and build higher stakes throughout the filming process, take after take after take… I feel that I have left this class with more valuable tools than I anticipated, and I’m eager to put them to use in my work moving forward.”
~ Andi Norris
