1-to-1 Training
FX Films now offers any budding wedding
videographer / editor / photographer personal 1-to-1 training, to help you develop
and enhance your video / film skills, and to help head you away from 'videographer'
and towards 'cinematographer / filmmaker' (from 'wedding video' to
'cinematic wedding film').
It is a bespoke service where you decide
exactly what you would like to learn (basic or advanced level),
and over how many sessions (half-day or full-day slots).
We are at advanced level with our edting
software, and can guide you with whatever you use (e.g. Adobe CS5 - Premiere Pro + After Effects, Vegas, Final Cut Pro). With regards cameras, camcorders, and equipment, we have personally used Canon XH-A1, Canon XF300 and XF305, Canon 5dmk2, Canon 7D, Sony FX1, Sony Z1, Sony EX1, Canon HV20 and HV30, Lumix GF1, Glidetrack 1m, Glidetrack Shooter, Glidecam, LCDVF, tripods, monopods, lights, lenses, microphones ... and more.
What could
I learn, as part of my training?
• Transition from 'wedding video'
to 'cinematic wedding film'
• Filming techniques (e.g. cinematic gliding, dof, camera
angles)
• Suitable camcorder, SLR and audio
settings for different situations
• How to work with High-Definition footage - keeping
it crisp and clear
• Creative editing techniques and editing with 'emotion'
in mind
• In-depth colour-grading
tuition (creating/tweaking your own presets, within your NLE
and with 3rd party plugins like 'Magic Bullets Looks')
• Help with marketing/advertising/branding-awareness/reputation
• and more ... |

What the students have
said:
"I spent a day with
Richard Wakefield of FX Films. As a novice to wedding videography,
I had a few problems with camera handling, editing, DVD building,
customer service, business decisions, dealing with clients,
the right equipment to buy. In short, how to be a successful
videographer from A-Z. With his professional yet easy manner,he
covered all what it takes to be in the business. It was really
worth the investment.."
Akinola W
"Spent a day with
Richard at FX Films. His advice on what equipment to buy?
That alone was worth the cost of the course and has saved
me making expensive mistakes in the future.You know the phrase
"it does what it says on the tin". That sums up Richard's
course. EVERYTHING he advertises is covered on a one to one
basis that not only makes sure you understand and learn, but
gives you the perfect opportunity to have your questions answered
by a man who knows exactly what he's talking about. His generosity
in sharing his incredible knowledge of videography is refreshing
and when you see how good his work is, you just know how well
he understands this business. His follow up e-mails are instructive
and invaluable. I can't recommend the course highly enough
and it was wonderful to know that not only had I spent my
money wisely gaining an incredible insight into Richard's
work but it has given me the confidence to know that I WILL
succeed in my ambition to be a good videographer."

"Having a 1-to-1 training
with Richard from FX Films was a great experience. With his
knowledge of the industry and personal experience over several
years, he can certainly help many people with various experience
levels. Some of his tips and tricks will save me hours of
researching and editing! His storyboard illustrations used
to describe various scenarios or layouts has given me confidence
in many of the unknowns, and filming techniques which I'm
sure I will encounter at weddings in future. Richard is very
approachable and open to any questions. He's an excellent
contact to have."
Mark B
"I can definitely
announce I am no longer making a wedding video for my customers.
I am going to be making a cinematic wedding film. All thanks
to you, Richard. Really enjoyed meeting with you and hearing
all your sound advice. Your knowledge in this industry is
endless! Best wedding video training ever!"
Nicky M
"It was great to meet up with you yesterday for our 1 to 1. You are very inspirational and creative and your passion for filming shines through in your training sessions. Even as a seasoned professional, I was amazed at how much I learnt from you."
