What people are saying about the 2-DAY Film and High Definition Camera Courses:

Having attended the one-day broadcast video camera training course, I can
honestly say that for anyone wishing to forge a career in the industry, they could do
a lot worse than make a bee-line for Free Spirit Film and TV.

The one-to-one training can be tailored to your exact needs; but no stone is left
unturned when it comes to the depth of knowledge Chris Weaver imparts. This
comes from his years of experience in the industry. I anticipated that cramming the
two-day course into one day would make it difficult to complete; but I was wrong.
Prior to the course, Chris asks candidates what they hope to get out of it and he
structures the content accordingly.

Chris’s enthusiasm for the subject is evident; he genuinely wants to help you get
started in the industry. All topics are covered and you never feel awkward about
asking questions. One aside is quite surprising, sure the course drains you, yes
you feel enthused, but also you leave as if you have made a new friend.

Go on do it; you won’t regret it!
