By the end of this course, you will be able to choose the right gear for your video style, dial in proper camera settings, plan effective shoots, and confidently capture professional-looking footage using handheld and gimbal techniques. In this class, Kent Hart walks you through the three essentials every successful videographer needs: Knowledge, Mentality, and Community.

This course is designed primarily for beginners who want to stop guessing and start creating with confidence, though experienced creators can use it as a focused refresher. You’ll learn essential gear options (without overspending), master camera settings for high-quality results, build a pre-production workflow, and understand the balance between technical precision and creative storytelling. Kent also covers composition, lighting techniques, stabilization, and the mindset shift required to grow as a director—not just a camera operator. To succeed, you don’t need prior professional experience—just access to a camera (even a basic one) and a genuine desire to improve. If you’re ready to stop watching from the sidelines and start building your creative future, this class gives you the foundation to do exactly that.

By the end of this course, you will be able to edit with intention in Adobe Premiere Pro—shaping timing, pacing, and rhythm to convey clear meaning, organizing your workflow efficiently, and finishing your videos with polished audio and color grading. In this class, Abner Cross guides you through a balanced journey that blends creative storytelling principles with hands-on technical mastery.

This course is divided into three essential parts: defining your message and creative brief, understanding editing theory and storytelling techniques, and mastering Premiere Pro tools to execute your vision seamlessly. You’ll explore concepts like the Kuleshov Effect, cut-on-action, rhythm, keyframing, transitions, and effect controls—while building an efficient folder structure and workflow that supports long-term growth. Ideal for beginners and intermediate creators, this class is perfect for aspiring professional editors, remote freelancers, and content creators who want to elevate their storytelling. To succeed, you’ll need a computer and Adobe Premiere Pro installed—no prior professional experience required. If you’re ready to move beyond simply cutting clips and start crafting meaningful stories, this course gives you both the mindset and the mechanics to do it.
