Brandon Li – Filmmaking For Photographers

Don’t let a bunch of unknowns stop you from making your first film.

We’ll go step by step through the making of a complete travel film, and you can look over my shoulder through the entire process.

Then you’ll get to download all of the video clips from the final video and learn each step of my editing process, hands-on.

If you’re a photographer making your first film, or if you just want to learn more about my thought process when I’m shooting in the real world (where mistakes do happen and things don’t go according to plan), I made this for you!

• You’re a photographer and you have a camera that shoots video but never ventured into video mode before.

Imagine if You Could…

• Feel confident about being able to shoot a full video with minimal gear anywhere you go.
• Know how to tell a story with your videos even without having a full plan beforehand.
• Know how to use video editing to express yourself in your own style and voice.

  Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Innovative Business Model:
     • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
  2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
     • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
