Corporate & Team Training

Your team makes the content. Not an agency.

Corporate camera, social and AI training for teams in Queenstown and across New Zealand.

The problem

The problem

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.

Two ways to do this

Pick the format that fits your team

Both get your team shooting, editing and posting real content. Neither is the "recommended" one, they solve different problems.

Content Day

3 hours · Max 8 people

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.

Corporate Programme

4 hours a week, over 4 weeks · Max 8 people

The full build. By week four your team has a filled content calendar, a repeatable system, and no reason to outsource again.

  • Week 1, camera and filming fundamentals. Framing, light, sound, stability. What makes footage look professional and what makes it look like an accident.
  • Week 2, content strategy and social media. What to post, why, and how often. A cadence your team will actually keep.
  • Week 3, AI tools for content creation. Captions, repurposing, scripting. The tools that turn one shoot into a fortnight of posts.
  • Week 4, production sprint. Plan and shoot a real content calendar. Everyone leaves with work that goes live.

What makes this different

Built by a filmmaker, not a marketing deck

01

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.

02

Built around your business

Your brand, your channels, your customers. We work on your actual content, not a generic case study.

03

Everyone picks up a camera

Small groups, max 8. Nobody sits at the back watching. Your team shoots, edits and posts in the room.

04

They leave with a system

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.

Who this is for

Any team with something worth showing

Hospitality, construction, trades, tourism, retail, professional services. Any team that has something worth showing and no one to show it.

Case study

One team, three businesses

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.

Spyder DobrofskyCorporate

"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."

Questions

Before you book a call

What does it cost?

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.

Do we need cameras?

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.

What size team works best?

Anywhere from three to eight. Under three loses the energy of the room. Over eight and people stop getting individual attention.

Can you come to us?

Yes. Most corporate sessions run at the client's premises, which is better anyway because we're shooting your actual business.

What if our team isn't confident on camera?

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.

Is there anything after the four weeks?

Your team can drop into our weekly classes any time. Some businesses do that as a refresher.

Can you help with AI beyond content?

Yes. AI for Business sets Claude Code up on your computer and puts it to work on your website, bookings and admin.

Do you work outside Queenstown?

Yes, for the Content Day format. Get in touch with dates and location.
