Professional Videography Training for Business
Learn the universal skills of filmmaking—Lighting, Audio, and Manual Exposure—and apply them immediately using your smartphone, which can be incredibly powerful cinema cameras—if you take them off "AUTO"
In this workshop, I will teach you the 'Fundamentals of Cinematography'. We use the Blackmagic App to unlock the manual controls hidden inside your camera phone.
What makes this course different? This is not a "TikTok Trends" class. It is a technical foundation in filmmaking. You will learn to master aperture, ISO, shutter speed, white balance, frame rates and much more.

These skills are also 100% transferable. Whether you are shooting on an iPhone today or upgrading to a professional cinema camera or DSLR next year, the physics remain the same. You are learning a lifelong skill, starting with the device in your pocket.
