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.

Sehr rudimentär und basic. Aber hilfreich für einen absoluten Anfänger. Sehr kurz, dafür aber ohne Zeitverschwendung. Ich habe mir den Kurs geholt als er kostenlos war. Ich würde dafür nicht mehr als 5€ bezahlen, wenn ich ehrlich bin. Ich gebe dem Kurs dennoch 4 Sterne, weil er kurz und knackig präsentiert ist.

Covered all elements of creating quality webcam videos. Started with the basics but also developed the topics well, providing a degree of detail to allow the learner to build from there. Good discussion of the tech involved and related costs - very practical. Nice to see the comparisons of each adjustment made. Great course, I was very impressed.
By Kerry J. Kirkland, M.Ed. on 4/16/2020
Yes. Very helpful to name recommended equipment of varying prices. Video background info useful too. Lighting tools were handy ideas, but would have liked to see actual lights set up in a wide shot. This was a helpful course especially for students with no experience in creating videos. Please consider updating equipment suggestions in the future if needed. Thanks!

This course is a decent one, for what the content is covered. It's a good starting point for those that don't know where to go. Phil's other course go way more into depth. But for what this is meant for does it job. Course starts with the most horrible looking video you can see visual and audio wise. (im exaggerating there worse) and through each Video following the changes he does to his set up gets progressively better. Can easily get the course material down less then an hour and know what to look for.

I am new to making webcam videos and am very happy to have discovered Phil's course. The course was comprehensive and provided me with the tools necessary to begin making professional webcam videos. I also appreciate how the topic of how to improve the quality of the audio was addressed along with the use of proper lighting and how to set up your background. The course will serve as a terrific resource for anyone looking to improve their webcam game. Thanks Phil!

Phil is a real time saver. I was preparing myself for creating online courses and invested months in learning. And now I found Phil courses, men why didn't I stumble to him months ago it would save me a lot's of time and money. Thanks, Phil for sharing your practical experience and knowledge. This can't be found in a book and I know that it took a really lot of time to gather it. Thanks Phil once again.

I've taken film and audio classes for two decades, and this course taught me a thing or to when it comes recording footage directly from a webcam. Make no mistake, this is very much a course that skims the surface. If you are expecting in-depth explanations on any of the topics herein, that is not the purpose of this course. However, as a primer or refresher, this course hits its marks and gets on with it. It would have been nice for this course to have a higher resolution than 720p to better pick out the improvements of different formats along the way.
By Les Collinsworth on 2/3/2018
Great short course for a beginner (like me) without any experience or knowledge. I feel like I can now make a good quality video with minimal equipment. I am also now ready to move on to a higher level course (and will do so with this same instructor). A really good introductory course.

It was a nice course, though I wasn't interested in web cam as such, but, in general i got many good tips for making a portrait video..
By Embedded M on 6/10/2017
This course really opened my eyes on how webcam videography works behind the scene. I like how he start with bad lighting and setup and works from there step by step showing the before and after to get a feel of how important small tweaks do to enhance the overall production quality.
