Testimonials:
"It was really fun and so informative! It has definitely inspired us to want to get out and do some of our own now and I definitely feel confident around the filming elements."
Emma Henry, UK Events Manager, University of Bristol
"Beeston Media’s training course gave us an invaluable overview of filming on our mobile phones and subsequently editing them on Premiere Pro. It was an excellent introduction, giving us the confidence to learn and experiment in our own time afterwards and we’re now able to produce short and effective films for the University’s social media channels."
Philippa Walker, Media Team, University of Bristol
"Beeston Media smartphone video training has given our small team the skills necessary to film, edit and produce short impactful films for our social media channels. The training from Hamish, Penny and Dion was excellent and we would not hesitate to recommend them to others."
