Solar Film/Video Productions

Loved the experience gained from this workshop. Lots to learn and a lot of room for creative freedom as well. This was a good foundation to build off of for most inexperienced people such as myself and a lot fun too!

Eric is a very passionate teacher. His directing workshop showcases many of the basic fundamentals that are necessary to creating high quality works of your own. His methods are clear and concise. What may take hours to grasp looking at tutorial videos, becomes instantly apparent with a flick of the switch. Although classes were affected by pandemic mandates, Eric was able to accommodate, and gave his all to make it work. Eric brought us behind the curtains of filmmaking, and shined a light illuminating all that the beautiful medium has to offer.

I am a film student and have been to many different film classes. Of them all Solar Productions classes have by far been the best classes I have taken. I've make over 7 short films within the span of 2 weeks (when in person), and 3 short films in the span of 1 week (remote). My instructor, Eric Lau has really challenged me in stepping outside the box and giving me a new perspective on film. He has taught me to go outside my comfort zone and has changed me as a filmmaker for the better.

I took a 10-day in-person filmmaking workshop with Eric Lau. The class size was very small during the pandemic, and safety precautions were observed. There was the opportunity for lots of individual attention and the instructor was extremely open to working on the students individual needs. We wrote scripts, directed the actors, lit and shot the scenes, and edited the footage. Eric's feedback was invaluable. He is extremely experienced and knowledgeable about all aspects of filmmaking. You get a ton of hands on experience and guidance. A highly recomended class for any aspiring filmaker.
