Creative Excellence Class
Creative inspiration for beginner or intermediate filmmakers who want to tell captivating stories to inspire others, gather like-minded people to a cause, and grow an online audience.
Wise filmmakers know that even the most mundane, ordinary happening can be elevated to can’t-miss content—the type that boosts algorithms and grows followers—if it’s spun into a compelling story. Sadly, most filmmakers don’t know where to begin in creating videos that trend.
The reason for this is simple: they don’t know how to tell stories. They’re good camera operators, who’ve been taught to capture quality footage above all else. That's a good first step. But even the best footage in the world struggles to inspire until it’s brought to life with rich narration, music, sound effects, and timing—or, in other words, until it’s woven into a story.
In the VIDEO STORYTELLING: Creative Excellence Course you’ll be taught by a master storyteller and broadcast professional that storytelling BEGINS BEFORE the shoot, continues DURING the shoot, and is finally completed in the EDITING ROOM.
So what are you? A Camera operator or a filmmaker who wants to tell great stories?

This course was excellent and it delivered exactly as promised at the start. I really enjoyed the informal, conversational, natural teaching style. He really got straight to the point, taught what was important, without getting bogged down in technical details, which can easily be found elsewhere. I have been into photography for over 30 years, but I've hardly taken any video. Now I feel well prepared for making professional-looking videos and film. Thank you!

Brilliant Course. This gets right back down to the basics of what really makes a good Film. Away from the plague of tech, color grading trying to look cinematic ect. You should be telling a story and not trying to look flash. This is what real film making is about. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wan't to make films and documentary's that tell a story and are not just pretty images.
