Workshops.

Interested in creating a team that can produce video content for your brand using modern smartphones or DSLR cameras? The Video Effect creates bespoke video bootcamps designed to show teams how to produce videos, market videos, increase sales, build brand awareness, and engage with brand advocates.

Our video bootcamps are fun and challenging, yet hugely rewarding. Bootcamps first focus on the theoretical aspects of video production. Afterwards, attendees will be shown camera operation and video editing basics. All workshops include practical exercises.

These video bootcamp classes are perfect for communications teams, new media managers, online producers, and content marketers.

While I offer tailored workshops to meet your specific needs, below are two sample workshops I have successfully taught over the last 11 years at the General Assembly. These examples showcase the range and expertise of The Video Effect in empowering brands and creators with essential video skills.
