10 Tips for Shooting Better Video
My Top 10 Tips for Shooting Better Video from my 20+ years of pointing a video camera
This course contains 10 short videos with my top 10 tips for shooting video that I have gleaned from over 20 years of pointing a video camera at places, people and events.
These tips are not to do with specific cameras or editing software but more dealing with the basics and technique that you can apply to almost all video shoots.
These have been gleaned over the years as common denominators I have found with most shooting situations and lessons learn't from the mistakes I've mad.
Whether you are shooting a family movie with your iPhone or a paid promotional video for a customer I'm sure you will find some useful tips you can apply.
Happy Shooting.

Hello I'm Grant and I live in the beautiful town of Queenstown, situated in the South Island of New Zealand with my wife and three children. I have been a professional freelance video cameraman for the last 20+ years and have been fortunate to have worked on a wide variety of projects. I cut my teeth shooting news for the two main broadcasters here in New Zealand. Since then I’ve been really lucky to have worked on a diverse range of projects from television reality shows, corporate videos to chasing Crocodile Rangers around the backwaters of Darwin for the National Geographic channel to shooting on a Bear Grylls reality show here in New Zealand.
The largest part of my work in recent years has been shooting real estate video for Agencies, Developers, Building companies and Television.
Shooting and Teaching Real Estate Video is now my full time occupation and an area of video production I really enjoy.
