FAQ

  • How much experience do I need?

    None or lots! Most of our students have done a bit of filming and little to no editing on their phones. Our training always goes as fast as the slowest person in the group but with 3 trainers available, we can make sure even the most experienced filmmaker leaves with new skills.

  • What do I need to get started on the training?

    You need a working phone - Android or iPhone - to train on and a laptop or other device to follow the training live on Zoom. You'll be asked to download 3 apps in advance: Filmic Pro (£12.99) and 2 free editing apps.

  • Do I need to be available for both dates of the training?

    We hope so! You'll get the most out of the training if you are available for both dates as the live workshop is the place where you can ask trainers questions as you learn. If you miss a workshop, you'll still have access to the recording as well as support materials afterwards.

  • What happens if you don't reach the minimum students for the course?

    We hope this won't happen as our courses are very popular and we often have waiting lists. But if we don't reach the minimum, we will offer you an alternative date or a refund.
