Daily loop

one lesson, one drill, one submission. Read the technique, watch the demonstration, shoot your take, submit it, and check it honestly against the pass checklist before moving on. A pass is a real pass, not “close enough.”

Weekly redo

once a week, go back and reshoot the lesson you passed with the least confidence, the one that felt shakiest even though it technically passed. Skills decay if they’re not used again, and a course finished once is not a skill kept.

Interleave, don’t binge

later lessons deliberately re-use earlier skills in new combinations (Lesson 8 needs Lessons 1, 2, and 7 running at once; Lesson 12 needs Lessons 6, 10, and 11 running at once). That’s intentional. If an earlier skill resurfaces and it doesn’t hold up anymore, that’s the signal to redo it, not skip past it.

The capstone is the actual test

Lesson 14 isn’t a new skill, it’s every earlier skill running at the same time under real conditions. If it exposes a gap, that gap was always there, the capstone just found it before real footage did. Reshoot the specific scene that reveals a gap, don’t reshoot the whole film to avoid it.

Gear

everything through Lesson 8 is shootable on the phone alone, no extra gear. A $20 tripod becomes genuinely useful starting Lesson 9 (steadying low light) and is recommended from Lesson 12 forward (keeping multi-shot framing consistent) and for the capstone.

The AI Coach

Every lesson has an AI coach. Paste your drill output, or attach your clip on filming tracks, and get notes against that lesson's pass checklist.
