    Video Training

    I provide directing, camera and editing training for businesses, individuals, in staff meetings, for community groups and for school teachers.

    Does your business have equipment just sitting there because no one knows how to use it?

    Or do you have a project coming up which you want to film internally?

    Do the staff at your school want to start using video for assessment?

    Or are you just an individual wanting to make better home videos for your friends and family?

    I offer training which covers all areas of video production; camera, sound, directing, editing and post production. I have pre planned training sessions (see below) or can be tailor a workshop to cover all or any areas of skill or to prepare you for a particular project. Obviously the longer we have the more we can cover but in just one hour you can learn enough to significantly improve the quality of the videos you produce.

    Contact me to discuss what what would best suit you.
