tayf.carvalho (Distrito Federal, Brazil): "Hello! We are FiqueFera and wanted to know more about 'scenes', so we met Professor Davis, also Brazilian. His dream of working with his strokes, interpretation, and storyboard made him an excellent international professional. Despite living in another country, he has overcome difficulties on his own, creating a very valuable legacy. Each class of this basic course is very productive and full of valuable insights, taught by a kind and friendly teacher. Thank you for the inspiration and knowledge, Professor Davis Lisboa."

Suenia de Oliveira (Brasilia, Brazil): "Excellent and very well-developed course. Although I am still halfway through, I have already found the content detailed, and the support materials are rich in information. Despite having to improvise because I don't have an iPad, I am learning a lot. Although it is not the ideal option, I have done everything in Photoshop with the help of a digital tablet. The instructor reviews students' assignments in the forum and provides feedback promptly. I recommend the course to those who want to work in the area."

Lisboa doesn't bog down the field with too much technical jargon. He shows the practical side of storyboarding. The student is free to explore what is possible in the realm of storyboarding. I'm halfway through the course, but I hope this class will be successful and useful for me. Thank you, Mr. Lisboa."
