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 20 years. I can show you how to make movies with your mobile phone, still cameras or camcorders.
I’ve worked with all kinds of organisations from one-person businesses and youth drama groups to universities and multinational companies. 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.
On-site
I provide on-site training for organisations around the UK and in Europe (subject to Covid restrictions).
Online
I provide a range of flexible online training for businesses, organisations and individuals.
