Creek & River Co., Ltd. (C&R) has launched the e-learning course 'First-Time Direction Course: Systematically Learning the Basics of Direction Required in Production Sites - All 8 Sessions' for those aiming to become directors and those involved in practical production work.
In Web and app production sites, the job of a director is to manage people, schedules, and quality to ensure the success of a project. However, the boundaries of this role are not always clear. Therefore, correctly understanding the essential role that a director should fulfill becomes the foundation of practical skills. Thus, C&R has started selling the 'First-Time Direction Course' e-learning program for aspiring directors and production staff.
The instructor is Sachio Uchida, CEO of design fleet inc., who is widely active as a director, designer, writer, and instructor. The course organizes the direction required on-site in a clear, step-by-step, and systematic manner, allowing learners to follow the concepts and practical basics of direction through eight sessions. If you are interested, please consider taking it.
