“Sam’s course has completely altered the trajectory of my career. Not only has it made me more comfortable in a program previously unknown to me, but it allowed me to snag first place in a video contest hosted by Sam Kolder’s “Kolder Creative” and LensDistortions.com. 

The course is easy to follow and extremely user-friendly. It follows a structure you can fall back on if you ever need a refresher on a topic, however, if you ever need more help, Sam is incredibly attentive, kind and was quick to respond to every question I had. To any filmmaker, whether you’re a beginner, like me, or a seasoned veteran in the industry, this content is absolutely priceless. It’s allowed me to bring my wildest dreams to life and can definitely do the same for you.”

“I came across Sam’s YouTube channel while looking for VFX based Unreal Engine content. I was intrigued and watched an intro tutorial which spiked more interest. Sam explains the content very well and in plain English. The pace of his videos are also very easy to follow. Sam seems to be very well versed with the VFX industry and I truly enjoy every bit of his courses. I bought the UE5 advanced course and I now know so much more! Thanks Sam and keep up the good work!”

Amazing experience, Sam is a wonderful instructor and is such a knowledgeable individual. I went from zero 3D animation experience to making full movies! His courses are worth thousands but only cost a fraction of a fraction!
