When I tell my friends and acquaintances about the experience of studying in Shaninka, I always talk about people first. MSSES gave me wonderful friends and acquaintances: people who are interested, who are not so easy to find. And I'm not just talking about classmates and other students, I'm very happy to continue to communicate with the instructors of Shaninka, but in the new format of "former student / almost colleague-instructor". And it's insanely interesting.
In my second year at Shaninka, I did an internship at RISEBA in Riga. As part of our trip, we studied the course "Producing". It was conducted by a real practicing producer Vadim Zaykovsky. In a little less than a month of training, I got a complete understanding of the product documentation, the shooting process, and even post-production. This course was very intensive and interesting, we went to the workshop, for example, tasted artificial blood and saw the most expensive cameras, the rent of which was included in the estimate. I didn't want this course to end. I envy the students who will take it this year :) I also want.
