Course Testimonials

Shawn Fife

Owner, Stage Masters LLC

I've used wysiwyg for years but not to it's full capability by any means...so right now my brain is on overload (in a good way). I feel everything was covered very well.

John Taylor

Strategic Consultant at Dirt Empire

I learned about shortcuts that would not otherwise be intuitive.

Malcolm Glanville

Theatre Technical Consultant and Contractor

I have been using wysiwyg for many years and it is possible to get into inefficient lazy procedures. I feel that this course has sharpened up my approach to new projects.

Chris Yeomans

Lighting Director at MIRRAD

This course covered a great amount of content which were all very useful.

Donald Holder

Broadway Lighting Designer

I always knew wysiwyg was a powerful and versatile platform, but I now have a much deeper understanding about what's really possible to create using the software.
