Our Video Production Weekend course is always popular: short, sharp and affordable, it’s a great way for anybody interested in filmmaking to get started, to revive old skills or even just to test the water.
We teach comprehensive, ‘future-proof’, transferrable, video production skills that don’t restrict participants to using specific equipment or working under specific conditions. This makes the course accessible to people from a variety of different backgrounds, and suitable for people with a number of different aims.
For some people, the course is the beginning of a journey into filmmaking, that could lead to (or advance) a career or become a life long hobby. For others, it’s just an enjoyable, creative way to spend a weekend and try out something new. We’ve even had participants given a place as a gift.
Regardless of their motivations, signing up for the course is something our participants never seem to regret; we have mountains of positive feedback building up, and many people come back again and again.
Recently, we’ve been working on redesigning the training pages of our website, to make them more user friendly and more informative. We plan to showcase our outstanding feedback on the new website, and in the process of sifting through it we’ve realised just how much we have gathered over the years. Here’s a small preview…
Cat: “It was great to learn so much and excellent to do something different at the weekend.”
Graham: “[The course] covered the essentials of video production with an experienced professional. Certainly interested in taking more courses in the future.”
Masa: “It was very good to learn through practice in a comfortable learning environment, with people who had the same aim of learning. Thank you, it has been a great course!”
Ella: “It is clear and thorough, covers a lot of information without feeling rushed.”
Bethan: “Both the theoretical and the practical parts of the day wound together really harmoniously — it was during the practical that I felt I really cemented my knowledge. It was very good for a beginner, I found the whole thing very informative and interesting”
Katie: “Very practical, good overall. Nice small group and individual attention”
Jason: “Practical, good advice on equipment, fun, entertaining”
Iain: “Hands on, confidence building, very enjoyable, informative, small group”
Zahra: “I found the section on learning the settings very useful, as it has set me up with a basic understanding so I can operate a video camera, which I couldn’t really do in a professional way before the course. I found all my expectations were met, I have learnt a lot and would definitely recommend”
Duncan: “I Found it consistently useful — classroom and practicals were both relevant. for my goals, I believe it provided what I needed”
