Marci Montgomery –
Jay is clearly brilliant, and I would have loved to have seen this live. Unfortunately, the editing on the replay makes it a frustrating experience from about the 18-minute mark onward. The sound is disconnected from the action, trailing what is being shown. For those of us trying to benefit from his explanations, it becomes very very difficult to mentally link the instructor’s commentary to the action you’ve just seen, while trying to store for future reference what is occurring in the moment. If the original sound could be restored to the camera work, this would be an ideal seminar and certainly a five-star + experience. Jay’s explanations are so good, it makes me really want to attend a live seminar in future.
