"Kolder Creative has changed my life significantly"
Being a part of a group like this has made me so motivated to create more and to improve my talent. Before taking the courses I had ideas for a number of videos but never had the drive or knowledge to bring my vision to life but now I can do so with ease. Joining this group was one of the best decisions I have ever made and I can’t wait to see how it continues to change my life for the better.

"The time is now!"
I am very grateful for this course and community. Not only have I learned valuable skills that have taken my cinematography/editing to the next level, but I have connected with passionate creatives all around the world. The KC contests have pushed me beyond my limits in the best of ways. I am excited to continue learning and growing with this course and KC fam.

"Love this class and would definitely recommend it"
This community of creators is absolutely wonderful and the reason for you to join the class. There are hundreds of classes out there and many people can learn video and editing skills from YouTube or other services. What I love about this Master Class is that Sam has consciously considered the best way to present the learning experience to his tribe and has organized the material in the most user friendly way I could imagine. The most surprising piece was the tribe itself. The people in this community have become second family to some and the constant communication and discord groups have fueled my creativity to new heights.

Joining Kolder Creative, back when it first launched, has changed my life drastically. Not only the amazing lectures Sam provides, but the amazing community Sam has put together for us is huge. It was very challenging for me to find people who shared the same passion before joining. Kolder Creative has creatives from all over the world, and Kolder Creative brings us closer together as a whole to show support for each other. Being deaf/hard of hearing, I was different compared to others and this community has welcomed me with open arms like I was one of them. It helped me to push through discomfort when meeting new people on my own when I traveled to the opposite side of the world (Greece) to meet two KC Members (Ricardo Neiva and Max Maerschalk) and create an amazing journey together. If it wasn’t for this, I wouldn’t have the life-changing opportunity of moving to Cape Town with two fellow KC members (Jack Zakrajsek and Mustafa Yamak) whom I met in Costa Rica with five other KC members to work on big projects for Corona, Musicbed, and Nomatic. I want to thank Sam and the others who put in so much work to bring this to life and help inspire us creatives to better ourselves everyday.

This course is a game-changer if you want to level up your technical skill. If that wasn't already enough, you'll find a community of like-minded creators that will help you bring your passion to life.

Learned a lot being here with the KC community and the lessons, even as a film student. I would recommend it for those wanting to expand their knowledge and experiences to a less formal way of filmmaking and its journey!

This course is perfect for anyone at any level. I'd been doing video for almost 2 years "professionally" and my skill had hit a ceiling. This course, more than anything gave me a clear direction to move forward and hone my skills. I've grown rapidly in the past few months on a technical level, and these skills have vastly improved my personal work as well as landed me a full time job as a content creator. When you are feeling creatively stuck, it's likely because you haven't improved your technical abilities. This course got me back to basics, and has refined almost every way that I go about my work. Oh, and the keyboard shortcuts are next level;)

You get an inside look into Sam's career and learn how to get there yourself. On top of all the knowledge the community is filled with infinite connections and opportunity. I'm shooting professional Red Bull athletes next week because of one of those DM's.

"Taking this course is a shortcut to success if you put in the work!"
The Kolder Creative course was a must for me as a nerd who loves online courses. It taught me how the Bro Sam comes up with ideas and how he edits. The videos he makes have a big impact. It is well worth the money! Everything you need to know about business, pitching, and editing is right here! The community is on fire, and the live events are awesome. Davinci Resolve is a beast at stepping up to the next level. Learn, share, and get help from like-minded people when you are stuck through the community on Facebook or Discord.

"Invest in yourself, I promise you you'll be happy you did"
There are alot of courses by a lot of creators out there. Often you find the info is minimal or basic, a lot of time for beginners. Kolder Kreative on the other hand is for everyone, the best part about it is KOLD assumes you are just jumping in. Whether you are a beginner, need a refresher or you're somewhat advanced and want to learn new techniques, this is the course you need.

I’ve learnt a lot from this course in just a few weeks over years of trying to learn on my own. The classes are very interesting but the best part of this masterclass is the community! I can't stress this enough but everyone is so supportive and helpful towards one another and we learn from each other.

This course changed my whole filmmakers world, in this course I learned things that I will never learn on a school or anywhere. The only difference with a school is that you don’t get a certificate after this course but a whole business plan.

As a filmmaker and photographer, finding a source where you can get an education on the art is super important. It's incredibly valuable to find people who know more on the subject and are willing to share their knowledge that they have accumulated through years of experience. Sam Kolder has created an amazing film course where he shares his knowledge with any filmmaker. Both the editing/shooting side along with the business portion of the course has truly helped me evolve as a creator. However, the best part of this course is the community that comes with the course. Through Discord, Facebook, and Instagram. I have been able to connect with creators all over the world. I have had the privilege to work and create with Kolder Creative members in Costa Rica, Colorado, Utah, and South Africa. Kolder Creative has allowed me to be a part of an amazing community that supports each other. Each member has a true passion for the art.

Prior to joining KC I never knew what it was like to relate to people on a creative level. Not only have I learned so much from Sam Kolder, personally one of my inspirations in videography, but I have come to befriend so many other creators from all around the world that understands what it's like to have the same passion for storytelling and videography as I do. Kolder creative is more than just a masterclass course but also a community of amazing creators. I'm thankful to KC and everything I've gained since joining.

@mathiasgillitz
The content is awesome, but what is most valuable about this masterclass, in my opinion, is not only the content... It's the cohesion and love within the community. All of a sudden you have a network of like-minded people around the world, I would even say friends who really want to help you and get to know you no matter in which situation you are. In this community there is no competition or anything, everyone is interested in helping each other and getting to know each other better, because you know that if you have a question, it will be answered. And of course you suddenly have friends around the world, and especially if you travel a lot or plan to do so, this is of course great, because now you know someone in every country around the world who maybe shows you the local spots or maybe you now have a place to sleep or just a great time with a like minded person. So I really can only recommend kolder creative, and would love to see you soon in the community and to get to know you!

Getting into Kolder Creative I didn't know what to expect.

I highly recommend it as the level of care and value really shines through with Sam Kolder's course.

Honestly, I am so happy that i made the right choice by joining Kolder Creative. I have not only reduced my editing time but also learned a lot of things regarding filming, sound design, business proposals and pricing my work. I have used what i learned and got my 1st paid job with a client. They were really happy after the collaboration.

Anyway, for what i’ve seen so far, it’s amazing and it’s giving me the opportunity to see everything from a more professional perspective, which is perfect for me considering that it’s what i wanna do for a living

Joining kolder creative was one of the most beautiful decisions that i ever made. Sam has formed a really cool community and now finally i can meet and talk to people who have same interests as me through the discord group. The entire course is well built and i think its worth my money as a beginner. I really had fun learning about after effects and premiere pro, this course has really grown my interest towards this field and i would like to explore ans experiment more with the tools that sam has taught us through the MasterClass. Thank you Sam Kolder & Team for this MasterClass.

Sam's announcement that he'll launch an online course was for me the last missing piece in the puzzle to finally get into filmmaking. I always wanted to create in a similar way like Sam does. So I joined the KC family and my editing & production skills sky rocketed. Roughly 1.5 years forward I have my own side hustle and hopefully can go all in later this year. I appreciate the work these guys put into the course!

I joined Kolder Creative to surround myself with individuals that share the same love of filmmaking. This course has paid off immensely, as I’m progressing more with help from the videos and the support of the community. The group is so welcoming and supportive. Many contribute in their own unique way which adds value to everyone involved. A good teacher can make something complicated sound simple; Sam Kolder himself is an excellent teacher. His videos teach you a wide range of skills, and he keeps his sentences short and to the point, not over complicating anything. I would highly recommend Kolder Creative to anyone, whether you are a beginner or a professional.

Since then I have been challenging my limits to learn, create and refine my skills at its best with what I can. Hi I am Arushi a Filmmaker in making, here to express my love at creativity in every possible way. I am super stroked and happy that I choose KolderCreative without doubt.

Overall my experience has been great, there are so many upsides other than just the lessons taught by Sam (e.g. the competitions, the Facebook community, the discord community and his livestreams). Being someone who has looked up to Sam and his work, I've really appreciated having a medium where I can learn and interact with him.

I've always loved capturing my adventures and travels with various types of cameras. The bottleneck for me was in transforming the footage into something I would be proud to share.

So easy to write this review for the Kolder Creative masterclass. The biggest one for me tho has to be the Raven Claw keyboard shortcuts. In one of the beginner modules, Sam introduces the Ravenclaw shortcuts (developed by Robert Hill), basically comprehensive hotkeys for Premiere Pro and After Effects. You are also provided with a pdf of the shortcuts and a file to upload them into Premiere. At the moment, you have to manually modify them in After Effects. Using these shortcuts has reduced my editing time by margins, maybe even in half! Very useful because time is money. You literally can edit with one hand using these shortcuts, definitely one of my favorite items that came with the course. Protip: Invest in a gamer's mouse, you can program the mouse with the Ravenclaw keys and edit while you eat. lol

I was editing on Final Cut Pro x for a while and wanted to switch to premier pro, so I signed up for kolder creative. Sam’s tutorials helped me learn premier pro at a good pace and I got to learn some amazing editing techniques that I use in a lot of my videos.

@gasjadraque
When I first got this course, I thought it was going to be a game changer for me, and it didn’t disappoint. Going through the classes in the website I learned a lots of insights on Sam’s editing process and how he makes his videos come to life. The community side of it is also huge, as through the facebook and discord groups, we get to hang with each other and talk about creator things most of use don’t get to share with our “real life” friends. The livestreams with Sam adds up even more to this as we get to interact with him and ask him questions of our own. Even though I was saving for a bunch of gear, I’m really happy that I got this masterclass instead, as I believe this will give me the tools I need to eventually dedicate my life to this!

@heycarrrl
I’ve been editing for a few years now and thought I had it figured out pretty well until seeing how Sam organized his footage, uses his keyboard shortcuts, utilizes multiple sequences within a project, and most important for me, how he thinks about and breaks down his transitions. GG so far!

"It has truly made me come alive"
KC has changed the whole course of my filmmaking process - speeding up my workflow and allowing for more creativity. Unfortunately, due to work commitments, I have never been as involved as I would have liked to be but I see the comradery of some of the people there and that is incredibly admirable. Something that I had not anticipated before joining is that I learn from others almost as much as I learn from Sam. Any issues I have had in the past have been resolved or discussed by members of the community - what's more, I have rarely found any toxicity aimed at other people in the group.

Personally, the contests are what really make you improve since it forces you to work harder and faster than usual, and forces your creativity to shine. And the Discord/Facebook group with the community is absolutely incredible, so many amazing and talented people that help and support you and share their own knowledge. Sam’s course is so worth it and get it while you can!

The Kolder Masterclass has been excellent! I love the quality of the videos and really getting a glimpse into Sam's mind and techniques on approaching a new film project. The editing sections are a total game-changer and have taught me to up my editing level, simply by approaching different clips with a new mindset. But the best part about the Masterclass is definitely the community. It's a very tight community where everyone encourages one another to push to do their best and grow to become the best creator possible!

@alifeofattraction
Of all of the courses I have taken, this is by far the best and most revealing that I've experienced. Not only is Sam peeling back the curtain to his entire workflow and his techniques, but there are time-saving tricks and tools that will make you a more efficient, more capable filmmaker instantly. I fully expected that this would be one and done, as many courses are, but there has been a constant flow of extra content being uploaded and exciting competitions to be a part of. Finally, the community Sam has built is just as inspiring as the man himself. So many filmmakers from around the world that are just starting out with small audiences or that have been grinding for years - seeing their passion for filmmaking and their undiscovered talent inspires me every single day to be a better filmmaker - I couldn't be more appreciative about being a part of Kolder Creative.

Sam Kolder is a very unique and inspiring person with his work he is doing. As he enrolled in his course KOLDER CREATIVE, there was nothing not to say I will get it. I want to pick his brain in terms of Storytelling, Sound Design, After Effect and Transition editing, and how he works with clients. I never thought it would be more than this! The course improved my work dramatically and also brought me bigger clients. Most importantly, it also created a new Familie could Kolder Tribe :heart: Everyone helps and supports each other, and Sam takes care of us and allows us to ask him or work with him together or even create a retreat in the future. The value in the FB Group and way more the Discord group is Mit already worth it! THANKS SAM, for this fantastic opportunity and this valuable course to share your knowledge with us ⭐️

I invested in the Kolder Creative course in 2021, I thought it will be cool to share my videos with the community in discord or Facebook to get some feedback and evolve through that. Because of the course I learned how to work more efficiently. With the new efficiency/knowledge, I got a new opportunity in my career which was to switch from being a “normal” police officer to be the head of video production at the Bavarian police. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to have a bright career at the age of 21 years old. During that time we did some really cool productions for the special forces. That was a unique experience for me, something that I never had done before. Sadly there is no video to showcase because most of those videos were for internal-usage. (But I got a couple on my phone to show hahaha.) At the same time, I knew that I wasn’t present enough in the communities of KC like I wanted to be. I was scrolling through the posts of KC and saw a members post who wanted to plan a trip to Costa Rica. After a couple meetings things went serious and we got Corona, Musicbed, and Nomatic as Sponsors for the trip. My first ever experience travelling with 7 complete strangers and working for different big brands. During that trip I was happy like never before. Meeting creative minds who share the same passion as me and understand I say. I felt fulfilled in someway. After the trip, my reality changed dramatically. I felt unhappy coming back to my old reality, going to the police office and being surrounded by people who are not passionate about life. People who always talk negatively and attract negativity, which reflected their unhappiness in life. Imagine working everyday with those people? I couldn’t ever share my passion for traveling and creating content with them. Something was stuck inside of me. So was my creativity in work. I was restricted to the stars on my shoulders. I’ve learned that creativity is a small portion you need to be successful at the police office. For my boss, the political aspects were more important than creativity. Now it was clear, I couldn’t fit in here.For the time being, Kyle, Jack, and myself did meetings after meetings. Both were crew members from the KC trip to Costa Rica. We figured out that we wanted to leave our home countries and create whilst living/traveling together. I had to face a big challenge, because a long time of preparation was needed. I had a job to quit, an apartment to empty, a car to sell, and stuff to move to my old hometown. Right before all of that I just invested a lot of money for furniture and had built up a new life near Munich. But I was ready to give all of that up, only to live my dreams. After 3 months of planning and preparing for the next adventure, Cape town was standing in front of the door. My next step on my new path, my chance to create a new future. Here I am now, doing my free-diving license this week and travelling to Namibia next month. I will always follow my heart and passion. I am so happy that I made this life-changing decision and I am thankful that I joined KC, because without KC I would never have met these amazing people, traveled to Costa Rica, or improved my skills. I am thankful for everything, and I wish the best for every KC Member.

I’m a part of many different filmmaking/photography/creative communities, and they are actually good, but when I joined Kolder Creative since day one I understood - it’s a whole other level. I’m glad to see how the community is growing, the course becoming more unique and versatile and how many amazing people are already in!

Sam Kolder is my idol since 2017 and he's one of the reason I went full-time into the filmmaking journey. Before joining Kolder Creative I had sometimes self-doubt about my skills, how to get better and how I should continue in my journey. Sam's tutorials have not only made me a better editor, but more importantly a better storyteller. I've been in the course for about 1.5 years now and I don't regret a second of it, as it has shaped my filmmaking career in the long run. Thanks to the whole KC-Team and especially Sam for being my Idol since day one.

I have nothing but gratitude for the Kolder Creative team and this masterclass. Since joining, the team has done everything in their power to ensure a welcoming and inclusive environment. There are regular group video calls where Sam answers questions and catches up with the class, and the team creates an interactive experience by regularly hosting contests. Some may be hesitant thinking that the group could be competitive, but in reality, everyone helps one another and the community feels like a family. I for one have seen huge improvements in my work as a result of the class, but also from feeding off the energies of others in the group. Where I felt myself having trouble connecting with others in the industry previously, I've made many friends through the masterclass and would gladly recommend this course to those looking to grow and connect as a part of an enthusiastic tribe!

I always have been skeptical to online Masterclass following but with this one it was a no-brainer😃 I learned a lot already that i thought i would never learn. It feels like we're one Big family. Everyone on it is very helpful and down to earth. Really cool to see in his mind how he creates the beautiful things he already made! I'm super glad that i decided to join and i can recommend it to every creator/filmmaker that wants to step up his game! Thanks Kolder creative Fam!

"Kolder Creative is easily my best investment as a creator"
It's much more than just an online course that teaches you the technical part of film making. It has allowed me to connect with amazing like minded people, develop the right business skills to close dream brands, get inspiration from other talented creators, organise trips to the other side of the world & of course learn from Sam, the best in the game. If your dream is to travel and make videos for a living, this course is a no brainer. The community will be happy to welcome you!

Being able to see the inner-workings of one of the most impactful filmmakers of our generation is not only truly inspiring, but also provides so much value to apply in our own careers to take us to the Sam Kolder level!
