I’m Phil Ebiner, an educator, photographer, filmmaker, and founder of Video School and Photography & Friends. Through my online courses and creative community, I’ve helped millions of students around the world learn practical skills in photography, video production, design, and more. My goal is to make creative skills feel accessible, useful, and encouraging, whether you’re picking up a camera for the first time or looking to take your work to the next level.
My teaching style is clear, supportive, and hands-on. I break complex topics into simple steps, explain the “why” behind each technique, and share real-world examples you can immediately apply. As a photographer and filmmaker, I believe great creative work is not just about gear or settings, but about storytelling, intention, observation, and connection. My goal is to help you feel confident, inspired, and capable of bringing your own creative ideas to life.

Many of the styles loom dated, shoul dupdate to more current design sensibilities.
By Samuel Smith on 8/16/2021
Some good tutorials succinct and to the point, give a good amount of both how and why. Would do another course of theirs.
By Edward Morrissey on 6/29/2020
Phil’s pacing is great throughout, but his audio is much lower than Nick’s. Nick raced through the first couple of sections, but slowed down eventually. I did learn some good shortcuts, and more about Track Mattes.

I'm new to After Effects and I loved this course by Phil and Nick. There were a few projects I didn't think I'd like and they turned out to be my favourites! Thanks guys, very good course!
By Anonymized User on 3/21/2019
Its a nice course. Very short and straight to the point.
By Charles Edache on 12/14/2018
I just learned Premier Pro, and this course is filling the gaps in some of the ideas I had while learning to use that particular piece of software. I'm enjoying it, and I'm learning new and creative ways to express myself.
By Richard Killey on 9/20/2018
pace is good; I sometimes have to replay a short piece, but fast enough that I do not get bored waiting
By Adilson Capaia on 9/26/2017
These guys are great. they know well how to teach beginners. If you are a complete beginner want to learn AF, and don't want to master in the first try, take this course. WELL DONE GUYS.
By Janet Simpson on 3/6/2017
Phil is very deliberate with his instruction. I appreciate the way he focuses on the basics
By Gabriela Truelove on 3/2/2017
Clear and concise. Instructor is actually teaching a skill instead of showing off what he knows. Moves along at a good pace.
