Make Your Own Video Training Academy is 'awesome', according to one of our students!

We are two video producers who have been making brand videos for twenty years. With the growing demand for fresh content, it's not always feasible - or even necessary - to hire a production company every time you want to make and share a video.

We set up our training academy to help businesses and organisations get the most out of the tools they already have - smartphones and tablets. The quality of footage that smart devices are capable of shooting is certainly good enough for online videos. The devices themselves are powerful enough to handle the processing requirements of editing apps.

You are walking around with a film studio in your pocket! All you need are the skills and tools that we teach you in our courses and workshops, and with practice you'll be able to make brand-worthy videos in under an hour.

We have created courses for small businesses, charities and organisations. Start our courses today, and take control of your video marketing.

What our students are saying about our courses...

"Excellent, credible, relevant and practical without being overly mercenary. The mini course taught me a lot about what I needed to be doing and I am highly likely to attend a further course. The cheat sheet was excellent."

Jonathan Ratcliffe

JMR Sales & Consultancy

"I found the course genuinely useful. The style of delivery was personable, free from jargon and not pushy! Your approach made me want to learn more with MYOVDO and I think this will interest a wide range of people."

Romany Kemp-Ghani

Fashion Retailer

"The advice in this course is practical and covers areas of video production I hadn't thought of. I didn't think it was possible to produce professional-looking videos with just a phone."
