FAQ

10 questions answered

Frequently asked questions.

Do I need any experience to join a workshop?

No. Some basic photography, camera or video knowledge makes it easier, but it isn't required.

Do I need to bring my own camera or mic?

No, everything is provided. You're welcome to bring your own. If you're deciding which mic or camera to buy, we'll help you plan your setup.

What will I leave with at the end of the day?

Your own finished short video: a promo, a podcast intro or any short piece you want to publish.

How many people are in each workshop?

10 to 15 people.

Can I really switch careers through content creation?

The workshops give you real, hands-on skills and a first finished piece of work. That's a practical first step. Where you take it next is up to you.

What editing software do you use?

Answer to come.

Can I hire the studio by the hour?

Answer to come.

Do you offer done-for-you production?

Yes. We plan, shoot and edit for you. See storytelling.group for our work.
