Overview

Engaging content starts with the very best footage. Learning to capture great shots is one aspect, but fully understanding how to think like a true filmmaker and visually create a story, is a skill that can be ignited by joining us on sharp.shooter

Unlike a lot of training, our modules are not pre-recorded. You have your own personal creative one-to-one for the duration of the modules to ask questions and bounce ideas around.

Before the training, we'll go through examples of content you want to create and focus the module on specific equipment or skills you'll need to develop to achieve your shooting goals. This ensures the best use of course time for your own content.

In the standard module, the course structure covers advanced camera controls, shot composition and coverage, capturing clean audio, lighting an interview subject as well as shooting efficiently for the edit.

Let us help you create something new.
