Taught by a working filmmaker
Not a marketing consultant reading slides. I run a production company. Everything I teach is what I do on paid jobs.
Corporate camera, social and AI training for teams in Queenstown and across New Zealand.
Most businesses know they should be posting more. Then it goes to an agency, costs a fortune, takes three weeks, and doesn't sound like you.
I teach your team to do it themselves. On the phones they already carry, in the time they already have.
Your team already has the raw material. The work itself, the product, the transformation, the view out the window. What they're missing is the confidence to point a camera at it and the system to keep going after the first burst of enthusiasm fades. That's what this fixes.
Both get your team shooting, editing and posting real content. Neither is the "recommended" one, they solve different problems.
One session that changes how your team works. They'll shoot, edit and post real content before they leave the room. Good if you want to test the water, or if your team just needs unblocking rather than rebuilding.
The full build. By week four your team has a filled content calendar, a repeatable system, and no reason to outsource again.

Your brand, your channels, your customers. We work on your actual content, not a generic case study.
Small groups, max 8. Nobody sits at the back watching. Your team shoots, edits and posts in the room.
The point isn't the content made on the day. It's that content becomes a by-product of the work your team already does.
Hospitality, construction, trades, tourism, retail, professional services. Any team that has something worth showing and no one to show it.
Aaron Murphy runs one team across three separate Queenstown businesses: Partners in Grime, QT Luxury Linen and Luxury Stays QT. Rather than book three separate trainings, we ran the Corporate Programme once, condensed into two intensive weeks, so the same staff could shoot and edit content for all three brands.
"We got CamerAcademy to teach all our staff camera use and editing so we can handle all our own social media. He was very knowledgeable and patient and the results are amazing! Thanks Dave!"

Google review"Brought Dave in to train our team on camera skills, social media content, and AI tools for content creation. Honestly wasn't sure how much we'd get out of a single day but we were blown away. Dave has this rare combination of being a genuinely skilled filmmaker and an excellent teacher. He explains things clearly and makes you feel confident straight away. By the end of the session our team was creating better content than we've ever produced. Worth every cent. If you're a business in Queenstown and your content needs work, call CamerAcademy."
Google review"Dave's course gave me the knowledge, skill and confidence to get posting online for my business. I really appreciated the 1:1, going at my pace at times that worked for and around me."

It depends on the format and the size of your team, so I'd rather give you a real number than a range. Tell me what you're working with on a quick call and you'll have a figure the same day.
No. We work on the phones your team already has. That's how most social content is made and it's what your team will keep using after I leave.
Anywhere from three to eight. Under three loses the energy of the room. Over eight and people stop getting individual attention.
Yes. Most corporate sessions run at the client's premises, which is better anyway because we're shooting your actual business.
Most aren't at the start. And they don't have to be in front of it. We point the phone at the work, not at the people, unless they want it there.
Your team can drop into our weekly classes any time. Some businesses do that as a refresher.
Yes. AI for Business sets Claude Code up on your computer and puts it to work on your website, bookings and admin.
Yes, for the Content Day format. Get in touch with dates and location.
A free 15 minute chat, no pitch. Tell me what your team is trying to do and I'll tell you which format fits, or if neither does.
