Exceptional course for anyone seeking a solid foundation in Davinci Resolve.
"I had the pleasure of taking the Davinci Resolve conversion course, and it was truly fantastic! Our instructor Jamie Dickinson was exceptional. He had extensive knowledge of Resolve and was always ready to offer assistance. Furthermore, he was approachable and friendly whenever we had any questions, and I wouldn't think twice about having him as an instructor again.

Having worked for 3 years in the software, the course was incredibly insightful and provided several valuable tips that I wasn't aware of. Overall, it was an enriching experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a solid foundation in Davinci Resolve."

"Jamie is a great colourist and has done a skilled and beautiful job on our film 'Wreckers'. He knows the technology of the Pablo very well, and uses that technology creatively. He's also lovely to work with."

"I worked with Jamie Dickinson on a short film called Whore that won the Grand Prix du Jury, Angers and the East End Film Festival; and also on various music videos. It was a pleasure to work with Jamie. He is highly skilled, fast and also willing to try out ideas. I was very happy with the end result on the work that we did together."
