He makes the content fun and shows personalized examples of topics like camera angles, lighting, etc. He has a dry sense of humor that never fails to pull a laugh out of students.

This was the best class I've ever taken in UW-Madison. Hoyt is great in a way that he constantly shows his love for the students. (TA are very nice also).
