Film Training and Support with Tom Barrance

Clear, easy to understand training and workshops
For organisations, businesses, education and individuals
Face to face training available throughout the UK and in Europe

My easy-to-understand training will give you the skills and confidence you need to make your own short videos. I’ve been teaching filmmaking to non-filmmakers for over 25 years. I can show you how to make movies with your mobile phone, still cameras or camcorders.

I can also provide training in specific software including iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro and VN Editor.

I’ve worked with all kinds of organisations from one-person businesses and youth drama groups to universities and multinational corporations. I also provide 1:1 training for individuals.

My training will be custom-made to fit your specific needs, whether it’s a two-hour introduction to the basics or an in-depth course over several weeks. You’ll get a detailed PDF course booklet, and I provide follow-up advice and feedback after the course.

I provide on-site training throughout the UK and in Europe. I’m based in South Wales.

I also provide a flexible online training and workshops for businesses, organisations, education and individuals.

If you’d like to know how I can help you use film in your work, please get in touch.
