Course Description
Here's what people say about this practical and enjoyable course:
“These guys definitely know what they are talking about. A lot of people think that high-end cameras will do all the work for you, and yes they can make the job easier, but if you don't do your part nothing will work. This is very detail oriented about how to use everyday objects to get good production videos and you will definitely get something out of this course. Even for the seasoned video maker, there are some good tips and tricks. Highly recommended”

Great videos boost sales
Smart companies realize that great video boosts sales. And you can make your own professional videos for next to nothing by following our simple video production and editing techniques.
If you’re a business owner, a freelancer or a startup…
a skilled artisan or an ambitious manager…
if you work in education, a sports club or a non-profit...
...you can reach your target audiences easily by creating videos.
By learning simple video production techniques, you'll be able to make unlimited videos quickly and easily, you’ll attract new customers and educate them in how to use your products or services - before they even buy. And you’ll build loyalty among your existing customers, encourage repeat purchases and teach people to get even more value from what you offer.
We’re not talking about slick, expensive ‘corporate’ videos that no-one watches... nor long, dull, unsteady videos that look awful and are more than likely to drive customers away rather than win them over.
We’ll show you how to make honest, quality video that feature you, your staff or your customers at their very best - video production that shows the human side of your operation.
And we’ll show you how to use video production to educate your customers - because educated customers are everyone’s best customers. They’re frequent users, they tell their family and friends how great you are and, above all, they’re loyal. Heck, they’ll even share your videos and do your marketing for you.
This video production course shows you how to create such videos, how to edit them, how to publish them and how to promote them - without having to spend a fortune on technology.
And yes, this course will help even if you’ve never made videos before, or if you don’t own expensive video equipment. The truth is that most people already have the technology to make great videos, sitting unused on their smartphones, tablets or desktops.
But there’s one big problem!

I really enjoyed this course. It was presented in a manner that was easily understood and not to technical. I enjoyed the different examples that were shown. It helped me to understand that little changes in how you do things can help your videos look more professional. Because I am just getting started with using video for my business, I appreciated the tips on keeping the costs down.

Too much emphasis on videos for business, sales! sales! sales! so far but the instructors seem competent, so I hope they'll get around to the point—shooting good cheat video.

I enjoyed the course, for what I need, it had the right degree of depth. It will form a good foundation for any further courses I may need. An important aspect was that it had a list of resources that can be easily accessed without shuffling through the video course. Can't think of anything that need be added!! Nice course Gentlemen!!

A real "How to make use of video" guide from A to Z. Seems like anyone can create attractive videos at a very low cost but the proof is in the pudding so now we need to get on and try... PS: watched the entire video at a x2 speed and worked really well. Took notes while I listened in order to create my to do list of things to go through in the first few videos.
By Cate Cammarata on 12/19/2017
There are many fine tips that these two guys share that I wouldn’t never had thought of. I’m enjoying it and learning a lot.

I bought this course because met one of the tutors, Tosh Lubek, at one of the events and was impressed how he works with people and his professionalism. I thought I would give this course a go and it was the right decision. I learnt all the useful things I need to know about videos when I am just at the beginner's stage, and to be fair it is plenty enough for what I need and without any complications. The course is also very entertaining, I like they delivered some information in a format of interviews - really good idea :) I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who want to get to grips with video production for family or small businesses.
