He makes it very easy to understand, plus the movie clips & illustrations help explain the concepts in a fun and entertaining manner.
His movie clips he used to juxtapose his points were an added bonus.
He showed movie clips in his lecture videos and related it back to the content, it really helped me to retain the concepts I've learned in the tutorial.
