🎥 Yesterday's class at Florida International University was all about immersion in real-world production setup! I brought over 25 pieces of documentary equipment for students to learn from as we prepared to capture footage. Each piece — from cameras to RGB color light wands - was carefully pulled from the bag and set up, with students taking notes on every item to get familiar with professional-grade gear.

Seeing the students' engagement as they asked questions and recorded details was a reminder of how valuable hands-on learning is. I'm looking forward to seeing how they’ll bring everything together, blending traditional editing with AI tools for an impactful project.
