Warren was back teaching in-person at AbelCine, California for the first time in years - this time in hybrid. They switched things up a little, with students joining via ZOOM as well. With a dedicated camera and a Lav mic, he walked the classroom addressing questions. Online students could interact with their questions coming through the classroom speakers. The media was made available 5 days before so everybody could get acquainted with the footage.
Read more about the new hybrid model, which will be available again soon. | |
