Subject In Focus

Last week's chat with RGL Filmhouse was so in-depth that I had to give you guys more content to listen to!  During this bonus episode we talk about the Fitness Videography Workshops he's running. We discuss why he felt the need to create these sessions, what people can take away from these workshops - and why Videographers absolutely need to learn the essentials of creating a sustainable business model.

Welcome to 'Subject In Focus'. Each episode, I’ll be talking with Videographers and Content Creators about their favourite piece of work from their portfolio. We’ll dive into how they put their content together, what tricks of the trade they use while making videos, and how that piece of work has influenced their style moving forward. Plus, you’ll also get to hear me chew the fat with these amazingly talented people, as we talk about how they got into making video content in the first place, what inspires their creativity and all things in-between. Happy listening...
