A ROADMAP TO SOLO FILMMAKING.
Learning about Filmmaking is overwhelming.
There's a reason why Hollywood Movies have film crews of upwards of 400 people on set, each with a specific role and job to do.
Yet, as a solo Filmmaker, Videographer or Content Creator, you try to fill all these roles by yourself.
The good news is, that it doesn't have to be difficult or overwhelming.
That doesn't mean it won't take time to practice and get good but with the right guidance you'll be on your way faster than you'd think possible.
STORY FIRST.
Any great video has a great story.
Without the story, how do you
- Know what the purpose is?
- Whom you're trying to reach?
- How make them watch?
Essentially that's what we want with a video.
Now, that's no different whether it's a family video from this years vacation or if it's a film for a brand to help them sell more products.
That's why Filmmaking Foundations begins with the story before anything else.
PLAN & EXECUTE
Having a good plan makes filmmaking so much easier.
It seems daunting at first to script and plan but when you do, the video comes together so much better than if you try to scramble random clips into a story.
Filmmaking Foundations take you through every step on the way from Pre-Production through Production and to Post-Production.
Tailored Help.
Filmmaking Foundations teach you the foundational knowledge but it won't all fit perfectly to your specific case.
That's why, included with your purchase, you get personal help from me, Alex.
Until we have a community platform, you simply send me an email or DM on Instagram and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
I promise to help you with a plan and direction for your next steps on your journey.
Note: Help is provided through text like e-mail, chat or DM and does not include live calls.

VIDEOGRAPHY OR FILMMAKING?
That's a question I get quite often, why do you call yourself a filmmaking? And what's the difference between that and videography?
Videography is the craft of capturing a great image - or footage in video terms.
You know how to do the settings and put make sure it looks good from a camera perspective.
Filmmaking adds the element of storytelling, which is essential in creating something captivating, that isn't just flashing images.
DO I NEED FANCY GEAR?
Filmmaking is not about the gear.
While gear matters in terms of ease of use and how you capture the image, it's not important in the beginning.
If all you have is a phone, you can get started today.
There are so many more things that goes into filming than the gear - which is why Filmmaking Foundations isn't focused around gear but storytelling and production.
IS THIS GUIDE FOR ME?
If you're learning about videography, filmmaking or content creation and can say no to the following question:
Do you feel like you know everything you need to tell good stories and capture captivating footage?
If your answer is no, then Filmmaking Foundations is definitely fo you!
WHEN I STARTED.
When I started my filmmaking journey I felt like I was about to climb Mount Everest.
I had just gotten good at photography and felt comfortable when I decided to take the leap.
It was an overwhelming process to navigate all the different steps and first of all, figure out what I didn't know.
I wish I had a resource to help guide me and teach me the different aspects, which I could then dive deeper into where I wanted and needed to.
Even more so, I wish I had an affordable way to ask questions directly to a mentor, without paying my entire month's salary.
