Recent reviews of Smartphone Videography Workshop - Kings Cross

  • 5/5 from Sharmini Kotecha, attended Jun 2026: I learnt so much about smartphone videography on the session. As a beginner I found the session very informative and practical. Mike is a great teacher and made sure all of us understood the basic concepts of the session. Fully recommend the course.
  • 5/5 from Gharam Al-Zubi, attended May 2026: Mike was a fantastic teacher, he asked about the areas I wanted to grow in and effectively tailored the session to my needs. The 3 hour session was an excellent way to learn the basics of videography, what equipment is best to use and how to use it, as well as video editing. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone wanting to learn videography whether for personal or corporate needs.
  • 5/5 from Kushie Amin, attended Apr 2026: FANTASTIC course. Mike is so engaging and makes it so fun and interactive. He explains things so well and shows theory into practice. It's a wonderful course that is packed with useful info and you're constantly surprised at how much you didn't know your phone can do!
  • 5/5 from Aishleen Lester, attended Mar 2025: I was so impressed with this class – it far exceeded my expectations. Mike, the tutor, was clearly passionate about sharing his knowledge and really took the time to tailor the session to what I needed the video training for. That attention to detail showed throughout – from the thoughtful questions he asked before the course, to the hands-on approach during the three-hour session, and in the helpful follow-up where he suggested equipment I might find useful. He’s changed the way I approach content creation – not just practically, but mentally too. I now think about it in a much more creative and structured way, and I’m beginning to have fun with it. I highly recommend this course.
