AL DANTE Live program
Learn to Create Cinematic Food Videos in One Month
Four-week live program: eight group sessions, the full recorded course, and direct guidance from AL Dante — shooting, light, editing, sound, and color.
Enrollment for the next live program is open — the start date is being confirmed
The deposit is credited toward the full price.
The work behind the program
Everything taught here comes from projects made for the AL DANTE Channel — the same shots, the same edit, the same process, without a separate “course version” of the craft.
From an idea to a finished video
In one month you go through the full process of making a cinematic food video and finish with your own piece.

- 02Light
- 03Shooting
- 04Camera movement
- 05Editing
- 06Sound
- 07Color
- 08Finishing your own video
A phone is enough to start
A phone, a compact camera, an action camera or a system camera — all of them work. Buying new equipment is not required. Very old devices with no manual control will limit some exercises, so we look at what you have during the first week.
How the month is built
- 01
Idea and preparation
Choosing what to shoot and why, planning the scenes, preparing the set and the equipment you already own.
- 02
Light and shooting
Working with light, camera settings, camera movement — and your first shooting assignment.
- 03
Editing and sound
Assembling the footage, rhythm and pacing, working with sound and music.
- 04
Color and finishing
Color correction and grading, final cut, export and publishing your own video.
Two live sessions each week.
Included in the program
- Eight live group sessions
- Recordings of every session
- The full recorded course library, with lifetime access
- Six practical projects
- Work in DaVinci Resolve
- Assignments with feedback
- The private Discord community
Who this program is for
- Food content creators who want their videos to look the way they imagine them
- Chefs who film their own dishes
- Food bloggers looking for a stronger visual language
- Videographers adding food to their professional range
It is not the right fit if
- you are looking for guaranteed views, income or a specific result
- you expect to watch the sessions without doing the assignments
AL Dante as the working example
The channel, the portfolio and the real production process are the reference here — not students’ results. You see how the videos are actually made, and you make your own the same way.
Price and how payment works
The remaining $949 is due 3 calendar days before the start date.
Reserve your place- The recorded course without live sessions is sold separately for $499 and has no fixed duration — you study at your own pace with lifetime access.
- The English and Russian groups are confirmed separately: each opens once it has at least 5 paid deposits.
- If your language group does not reach the minimum, you can move your deposit to the other language group or to the next program, or take it back in full.
- All sales are final. The deposit is refundable or transferable only if the program is cancelled, a language group does not open, the start date moves beyond the permitted seven-day window, or a refund is required by applicable law.
Frequently asked
What equipment do I need?
A phone, a compact camera, an action camera or a system camera. Buying new gear is not required — we work with what you already have.
Do I need previous experience?
No. The program starts with the idea and preparation, and every step is shown in practice. Experienced videographers usually focus on light, movement and color.
What language are the sessions in?
The English and Russian groups are separate. Each session runs in the language of its group; the recorded library is available in both.
What if I miss a session?
Every session is recorded and stays available. Assignments and feedback are not tied to being present live.
How much time do the assignments take?
Plan for a few hours a week. One of them is a full shoot, so it is easier to set aside a longer block for it.
Do I get feedback on my work?
Yes — assignments are reviewed during the live sessions and in the community.
Do you guarantee views or income?
No. The program teaches the craft of making cinematic food video. What happens to a particular video depends on many things outside a course.
