The 3 day “Essential Skills Course” has been designed for anyone that wants to correctly use and get the most out of their video camera. The course also exposes students to the “tricks of the trade” and consists of 8 sessions covering the essential skills that are required to shoot professional looking videos.

Lead by industry respected freelance cameraman Geoff Stock who has over 30 years of experience in the industry. Geoff has shot commercials, corporate videos, current affairs, lifestyle shows, reality TV, documentaries the list goes on, you name it he has shot it. The “Essential Skills Course” has taken all of Geoff’s knowledge and provided an opportunity for anyone who wants to dramatically increase his or her knowledge, skills and ability. The hands-on approach shows students that they too can achieve videos that look like they belong on TV!
