Film it Yourself: Supported Filmmaking

Do you want to make a video for your business, organisation or campaign? Not sure where to start? I can help.

It’s not always practical or affordable to use a professional filmmaker, especially if you need to film your everyday activities or long-term projects. And it’s challenging and time-consuming to plan, shoot and edit an effective movie yourself.

So instead, I can work with you to make your video. I’ll help you plan it, teach you to film it with your smartphone or camera, then edit it for you.

How it works

Planning

You tell me what the movie’s about and what you want it to include. I’ll work with you to create a script and prepare storyboards and shot lists.

Training

I’ll provide the training you need – online or face to face* – to record good quality video and audio with your own equipment. I’ll provide printable handouts and cheat sheets to help you as you film. I can also advise on what equipment to buy or hire.

Filming

You film the video and send me the files, together with any audio, stills and logos you want to include.

Editing

I’ll put together a rough cut of the movie. You give me feedback, then I produce a final version with colour correction, audio adjustments, graphics and titles.

What does it cost?

Every project is different, so I’ll give you a detailed costing when I’ve discussed the project with you.

Interested?

Let me know more about your needs and we can schedule a meeting over Zoom or Teams.

*Face to face training is available in the UK and Europe.
