Amplify Your Mission With Short Videos.
A 5-week sprint for the busy expert.
Turn your expertise into high-impact video that amplifies your reach and builds a lasting digital legacy—without the technical faff.
You are here because you know how powerful video is.
In fact, this is not your first brush with video. You have probably already tried:
❌ social media trends that led nowhere
❌ flipping between posting and ghosting
❌ spending hours of your life on editing
❌ not publishing because you think no one will watch
You may even tell yourself you’re not good on camera, that you don’t have enough time, or that you need to be more tech-savvy to create polished videos that showcase your work and spark conversations that matter.
We’re here to show you that you can create great videos that:
✔️ align with your style and branding
✔️ don’t take hours to record and edit
✔️ support you in achieving your goals
We know the impact great video can have on your mission. With over 30+ years in the industry, we’ve worked with education brands and experts to record content that gets results.
You’re not alone if you feel like you’re missing out. There is a lot of advice about video creation online that doesn’t work because it’s:
❌ irrelevant toyour field, whether you’re an educator, school owner, or researcher.
❌ inflexible, given that you benefit most from a mix of on-demand input and live support that you can fit around your schedule.
❌ detached from results that matter. We want content to support our work and mission, and not chase vanity metrics.
❌ not underpinned by best practices in the media industry. There are far too many trends, tricks and gimmicks out there!
The good news is that you no longer have to miss out. Nor do you have to follow advice that’s designed for someone else in the hope that something will work.
Now, visualise video that:
❇️ Makes an impact on your mission, whether it’s sign-ups to your event or promotion of your latest work.
❇️ Tailors to your own style and voice, making your videos recognisable in the busiest spaces.
❇️ You enjoy creating since you have sustainable workflows in place and an endless source of ideas.
❇️ Peers compliment and ask about now that you’ve become the go-to person who knows video.
❇️ Supports your bigger vision and goals - now you have video skills in your toolkit, you can leverage it.
Introducing…
The Video Venturer
Your beginner-friendly sprint to creating great short-form videos that work for you.
“The Video Venturer program was so easy and clear to navigate. Help was available at all times and the materials were top-notch. Even a video-making novice couldn’t fail to improve their skills. I highly recommend this course if you would like to start making videos but just don’t know where to start. Everything is so clearly explained.”
“I liked the bite-sized and straight-to-the-point style of the programme, which helped me get things done. The step-by-step, templates and examples you gave us throughout were clear, simple and actionable. I particularly liked the mini-series templates and the use of storyboards to structure my videos. As an e-learning designer, I use storyboards for course creation, and yes, they are just perfect for short-form video creation too! ”

YOU MAY BE WONDERING…
What equipment will I need?
We cover this in the first week, but overall, you'll need:
your smartphone
a stand
lighting
a microphone
editing software
We demonstrate a range of options so you can use what you know and what you have access to when building your home studio.
If you’re not a fan of editing on your phone, you can edit on a laptop or desktop using the Adobe Express software we demo in this course.
How much will I need to invest to set up my studio?
So, assuming you already have a smartphone, you may choose to invest in:
a static stand - to stabilise your phone when you’re recording
mobile lights - to give you more options for when and where you record
a microphone - again, this will give you more options on where and how you record
What editing software do you use in this course?
We’ll show you how to use Adobe Express because it’s mobile and desktop-compatible. Plus, Adobe offers a free limited plan, which is perfect when you’re just starting. There is a paid Premium version, which you can trial, that includes more editing credits and options.
What about other editing software?
Editing essentials like clipping and adding text can be performed by many tools, including built-in tools on social media platforms.
We’ll demonstrate how to edit on your phone and laptop using Adobe Express. If you already have access to a video editing tool, you can use it to complete the challenges in this programme. Please note that other editing tools may have different layouts and functionality from Adobe Express.
How much time will I need to spend each week?
We recommend around 2-3 hours per week to:
study the self-paced content
participate in the weekly challenge
attend the live Q&A sessions
We want you to move from idea to recording in minutes, not hours. That’s why we’ve included example videos, prompts, and templates to help you start recording as quickly as possible so you can see results.
We’ve also included a weekly challenge, as learning is much more fun when we do it together.
When are the live Q&A sessions?
We host 30-minute live Q&A sessions every Tuesday at 2 pm Central European Time during the sprint. Use this planner to check the time for your time zone.
You can just drop in to chat about the topic, brainstorm ideas and ask questions to keep moving on your video journey.
How do I book a 1-to-1 session?
You will have the option to book a 1-to-1 30-minute creative planning session with Laura in weeks 5 or 6. You will have a choice of dates and times, so you can book a time that works for you.
During the chat, we'll focus on pooling the skills you've developed on the sprint so far to talk about how you can leverage video for bigger projects, from crafting a mini series around your latest work or campaign, for example.
Where are live sessions held?
We host live sessions on Google Meet. We’ll invite you to the sessions when you sign up for the Video Venturer, so you can add them to your calendar. We’ll also send you an email reminder on the day, so you don’t miss out.
What if I can’t make it to the live sessions?
Laura hosts open office hours on Slack on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, 10 am-11 am Central European, where you can ask questions. Even if you can’t attend, leave a message or voice note, and Laura will get back to you during office hours. 😊
Who is this programme for?
This course is aimed at busy educators and experts like you who would love to create short 1-3-minute videos for your marketing, communications, or even as part of your services.
You don’t need to be great on camera, tech-savvy or even have ideas on what to record. We designed this programme to fit your busy schedule and needs.
Can we book a private cohort for our team?
Absolutely. We offer dedicated training for organisations looking to scale their impact through video. Because every team’s goals and schedules are different, we build a custom package for every closed cohort.
Do you have a question you’d like to ask?
We're happy to chat. Contact us here via email or book a coffee to chat with us directly.
“I never thought I’d be able to produce engaging and high-quality videos without professional help. The Video Venturer teaches you everything you need to know about setting up to record (such as lighting, microphones and mobile phone apps) and provides a very structured approach to creating your first videos. I really appreciated having templates for planning my videos and learning how to storyboard. The biggest surprise was how easy editing can be if you know what software to use and how to use it. Overall, the course totally exceeded my expectations as I learnt invaluable new skills in a very short space of time and had a lot of fun doing so! Thank you very much Laura and Haven!”
