Practical, hands-on workshops that build the skills and confidence to create better video content.
We work with businesses and organisations to develop their people, adapting the training around their experience, what they want to achieve and the content they need to create.
From one-day workshops to longer programmes, we help people learn by doing and leave with the confidence to keep creating.
That's where our workshops come in.
We take the skills and experience we've built working in television and make them practical and accessible. You'll learn how to find the strongest ideas, plan your content, film with confidence and make the most of the equipment you already have.
For teams, we can build workshops around the challenges you're facing and the content you actually need to create. For individuals, we can provide more focused, one-to-one support to help you develop your skills.
The aim isn't to turn you into a filmmaker overnight. It's to give you the confidence and practical skills to create better content yourself.
There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to learning video.
Some people are picking up a camera for the first time and need to build confidence. Others already have experience and want to develop particular skills or create better content for their organisation.
Our workshops follow a proven practical approach, but we adapt the content to the people in the room and what you want to achieve.
You might want to develop your team's confidence, learn how to tell better stories, create short-form content, interview people, film yourselves or produce a series of films.
Whatever the starting point, the aim is the same: learn by doing, create something real and leave with the confidence to keep making content yourself.
"I undertook the Filming on Your Phone Workshop with Down to Earth Media. My reasoning for doing this was because I want to start producing videos for both Instagram and YouTube but didn't quite have the confidence or know how to be able to do that. Alex taught us a number of exercises and methods to film both in the classroom and out and about. I thought this really built my confidence because we learned a whole host of different ways to video and there's always one way that works for you. Im now able to produce videos in which I feel that I really enjoy watching and I also feel confident being a part of. I'd really highly recommend the course to anyone as a beginner as it's a really good starting point to get you on your way"
