Smartphone Videography Training
Learn to shoot fast and affordable video
Our action-packed smartphone video workshops run for a full day and are jam-packed with practical activities for individuals and teams to enjoy.
You’ll get hands-on experience with planning, shooting, and editing your very own video – as well as learning all the methods and processes behind filming that fabulous footage!
Everything is built round your business objectives – so tell us about the type of video content you need to create and we’ll help you sharpen your skills, so you can produce it more cost-effectively in-house – using your very own phones rather than expensive equipment.
With the challenges of coronavirus, we are now running all our smartphone video courses remotely. Same brilliant content, but split into shorter sessions, with worksheets and plenty of activities to help people learn from a distance.

Just see what one of our attendees created immediately after the session! Well done, Louise!
“The video training we attended at Sookio was incredibly valuable, and we both came away with plenty of ideas, practical knowledge and tools to use!
Matt, who led the session, was wildly knowledgeable. His enthusiasm for video was infectious and shone through, which meant no part of the training felt boring.
It was brilliantly engaging from start to finish!
There was a perfect mix of lecture-style learning and practical group work. And no question was stupid - the environment was friendly, collaborative and conducive to learning.
All in all, it was a brilliant day, and we feel like it’d be valuable for total novices (like us) as well as people looking to enhance their skills in video production.”
