Testimonials

A goldmine of knowledge and experience!

The company I work for recently realised they have a requirement for in-house video content in the training sector, and I was lucky enough to be offered one of four spots on this course. As someone who's always been into video, photography, and audio, I jumped at the chance, and I’m so glad I did.

Peter ran the course and was absolutely brilliant. His real-world experience and knowledge in the industry really shone through. The delivery was clear, well-paced, and packed with relevant, practical info, no fluff, no filler, purely useful content.

On day two, Peter brought in his colleague Gregg, a seriously skilled camera and drone operator. He covered everything from lighting setups to technical camera configuration. What made a big difference for me was how Gregg took the time to walk me through things using my own camera and gimbal (gear he clearly knew inside out). That hands-on, near one-to-one time was absolutely invaluable. Honestly, I could have spent a week just learning from him.

I thought I was fairly confident with a camera, but this opened up a whole new level of technical detail and creative thinking. My notebook is now full of gold, from planning all the way through to final edits.

Genuinely great people with a real passion for cinematic video, and a clear drive to share it with others.

What an amazing course...

I recently attended a 2-day video production and editing course and was thoroughly impressed by Peter's engaging teaching style.

Peter has a wealth of knowledge, coupled with industry experience in video production and editing and his sessions featured well-structured presentations, interesting hands-on exercises with professional equipment, and clear guidance and practice on editing software. The practical approach made everything easy to grasp and immediately applicable.

I highly recommend Video Mastery's services to anyone looking to develop their video production and editing skills, as I feel I learned so much more on this course than I would have done taking something through an online course. 10 out of 10!

Absolutely fantastic course. Peter (the company owner) has put together a very indepth course with loads of training on how to film professional videos with smartphones. The editing session on the last day was brilliant. Thank you so much... now to make our own videos.

Your knowledge and passion made it a fantastic learning experience

Very insightful

Peter and his team provided us training on all aspects of video production to empower us to produce high quality videos in-house. We found the training to be very insightful and useful for our needs. We all really enjoyed it and there is no doubt it will have an impact n our video output.

Brilliant experience

Brilliant experience that has opened many doors for me at work, now that I'm seen as a creative film director! And all thanks to Peter. Fantastic 2-day experience made simple, with both learning and practical parts. Recommended for anyone willing to learn about video mastery.

This course delivered beyond my expectations

"After struggling with mediocre smartphone videos, I finally found the solution in this brilliant training course. As someone who regularly creates content for my organisation, I needed professional-looking results without investing too much in expensive equipment. This course delivered beyond my expectations.

What Sets This Course Apart

The instructor, Peter breaks down complex cinematography concepts into bite-sized, actionable lessons anyone can follow. I appreciated how the course progressed from fundamentals (lighting, framing, stability) to more advanced techniques like exposure control and creating compelling visual narratives.

The hands-on exercises reinforced what I learned, and Peter's feedback on our practice videos was constructive and encouraging. I was amazed at how quickly I improved my videos by applying simple techniques.

The investment in this training has already paid for itself. Whether creating business or social media content or documenting family memories, this course will transform how you capture video forever.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their smartphone videography skills!"

So much passion for what they do

"I was there, I took part, and I believed!
It’s been a long time since I experienced such a great way of sharing knowledge, an amazing connection with the instructor, and so much passion for what they do. You just can’t fake that!”

What they learnt in just 3 days is amazing and we're ecstatic at their achievements

"Recently, we asked Video Mastery to share their “Video Production Masterclass” with our group of course developers, IT and marketing personnel. The training was engaging and interactive which really motivated the guys and got them involved.

What they learnt in just 3 days is amazing and we're ecstatic at their achievements as “Professional Videographers” which is a real world string to their bow. Our team finished the course full of confidence and enthusiasm, eager to try out their new skills, and they’re already creating some impressive video content.

I’d like to thank Peter for providing this highly effective hands-on training for us and I would recommend Video Mastery to any company wanting to create their own professional video content in-house."

I would highly recommend this course to everyone

“I have found Video Mastery’s Video Production Masterclass for Trainers to be really comprehensive, as it covered a detailed introduction to videography essentials, theory, filming, lighting as well as editing.

The hands on experience really helped to put the theory into practice and watching a professional such as Peter edit was absolutely invaluable. The highlight of training was the wealth of knowledge and real life experience that Peter bought into his training, making the learning experience a positive one that encouraged the asking of questions and exploration of concepts.

Peter was really flexible and was only too happy to combine our course with our marketing department colleagues and as a bonus we also had the excellent Gregg to attend and provide his world class practical knowledge on DLSR’s.

I would highly recommend this course to everyone starting their journey into professional videography.”

The L&D team at AO recently had a fantastic two-day course

"If you’re serious about upskilling your team and producing in-house videos, I highly recommend Video Mastery and Peter Middleton. The L&D team at AO recently had a fantastic two-day course delivered by Peter, from Video Mastery. It was a game-changer for us. The course didn’t just teach us the ‘how’ of video production; it also explained the ‘why’ behind it. Think ‘audience’, ‘storytelling’, ‘motivation’. We learned the necessary pre-production planning; like storyboarding and scripting; through core production techniques such as lighting, camera movement, angles, sound … all the creative bits (!)

We then got to set up and shoot an interview piece — lighting, camera positions, and interview techniques — all hands-on. And then we ended with a comprehensive tutorial on video editing. Peter is a hugely experienced and talented creator and producer, and he shares his knowledge brilliantly on this course. He’s also incredibly warm and friendly, and I enjoyed spending time with him immensely. Peter and Video Mastery are high quality."

The course was a great balance of presentations along with practical exercises

"Peter from Videomastery attended our site to carry out a 3 day course on Videography. The course was run very professionally giving us a great insight in the video making process;. The course was a great balance of presentations along with practical exercises, I also enjoyed hearing Peters experiences from many years of video making which really backed up what he was teaching us nicely. I would strongly recommend this course for a company who is looking to produce their own in house videos."

The team loved it and learned so much. What a terrific masterclass!

"Thank you for such fantastic training, Peter. The team loved it and learned so much. What a terrific masterclass! Thank you!"

The training was comprehensive, highly informative and inspiring

"Thanks for sharing with us your Video Production Masterclass. The training was comprehensive, highly informative and inspiring and, just as you promised, after these few days of instruction we're feeling very confident that we can produce high quality video programs ourselves and we're really excited to get started!"
