Who it's for
Business owners, people running their own Instagram or Facebook, anyone who wants to post properly on social media.
If you're the one posting for your business, or you know you should be, this is built for you. No agency middleman, no waiting on someone else's schedule.
How it works
It's a four-week loop, not a straight line. Each week teaches its own skill, so you can start on whichever week comes up next and the loop brings you back around. Nobody's behind.
In 40 seconds
"You need to create content for your business. Not what you wanted to hear, I know."
One skill a week, on a loop: capture, cut, strategy and speed. Start any week and you'll never fall behind.
Small groups, real feedback on your content. Book a class.

"I just finished the 4-week course at CamerAcademy and really enjoyed it. It was fun and super informative, and I learned a few new skills I can use right away. Dave is excellent at explaining things in a clear, easy way. If you find social media confusing, he's the one to help you understand it."

Questions
Before your first night
Do I need a camera?
No. This is phone only, start to finish. If you've got a smartphone from the last few years, you're set.
Do I need to be on social already?
No. Some people come in with an account that's never posted, others come in already posting and want to do it properly. Both are welcome.
What if I'm not confident on camera?
Most people aren't at the start. We build up from filming your product or your work, not your face, until you're ready for more.
Can I start mid-loop?
Yes. It's a loop, not a straight line. Start on whichever week comes up next and you'll cycle back round to the start.
Who teaches the Dunedin class?
Pete Vendt, who runs IEIM in Dunedin. He's a photographer and cinematographer, and he teaches the same four week loop I teach in Queenstown and Cromwell.
