A range of “extras” that can be booked alongside our courses to help you get the most out of your training
Bespoke kit provision
We’ll use whatever kit you currently own, and will offer advice on any additional kit that might be necessary to deliver a big impact cheaply. This could be as simple as a £70 microphone. We can then provide any kit you do need or will bring our own to the training for you to try before you buy. We can also provide more complex kit based on your needs such as lights or branded backdrops.
Graphics and template package
Make your video more professional with bespoke branded graphics. We’ll create a generic opening and closing graphic and editable name straps, in line with your brand guidelines and using your logo.
Ongoing support and feedback
You’ll leave our training courses feeling confident but sometimes it’s good to get feedback and advice. That’s why we can offer ongoing support packages on a monthly basis. You’ll be able to call or email one of our team anytime and share your ideas and video productions with us. We’ll give you an honest critique and explain if and how you could make them better. Support plans can be booked on a month by month basis, depending on your need.
