Stanislav Glazov's courses are the best thing that happened in my life. So if suddenly someone is still in thought - here's a sign for you.
Ahmet Said Kaplan
We had very effective workshop with Stanislav around 10 years ago, I can honestly say that, Stanislav opens my eyes and show me numberless potantials of creating real-time and interactive visuals.
Now, as our studio DECOL grows, he was always been supporter and collabrator with us. We were also lucky enough to catch his new workshop series 'Hou2Touch' and our upcoming talents fall in love with the softwares with the help of Stanislav.
Ildar Iakubov
I was lucky to meet Stanislav in the very beginning of my career, about 12 years ago. His courses made a great effect on my learning progress and built a strong foundation for further development. We are good friends since then and he is still a unique source of knowledge, thanks to his broad experience.
