MUSIC VIDEOS WORKSHOPS
music video. Music by JazzSteppa. Record label: Studio Rockers.
my role: director, editor, performer, 2010
“Claudia has an easy way to teach technical aspects of filming through practical exercises. She stresses the importance of all these aspects, yet in a very approachable way impelling the student to experiment. This helped me to have a new and more conscious approach to my work and have a more assertive point of view as a spectator. Also, Claudia's very gentle but strong personality, helped us to approach quite a tough subject with a lot of confidence.”

Claudia is very conscientious, reliable and honest and was a pleasure to work with, I will definitely work with her again.”
