My mission: for mobile devices to be tools of creativity, not consumpition.
Since 2011 I’ve been teaching people of all ages how to be more creative with smartphones and tablets. In 2016 I coined the phrase/title “Made On A Mobile”.
Learn to shoot, edit and share creative video content armed with nothing but a mobile phone (or tablet). Apple or Android, it doesn’t matter.
Do you work in communications?
Are you an educator or a small business owner?
Have your sights on filmmaking or content creation?
Video is more important than ever. Trends come and go but the foundation of moving image and storytelling remain. And regardless of the sector you work in creative digital skills have been listen by *think tanks and governments as one of the best ways to future proof your employability.

You don’t need the best of everything!
I started with £12 mics from Amazon and budget tripods. As your confidence and skill develops you’ll feel justified in the additional spend. The equipment below ranges from inexpensive for beginners to mid range for more regular use. Unless stating otherwise they are items that I use or have used and can therefore vouch for their performance, quality or value. If you have specific questions please contact me.
PLEASE NOTE: Some links will take you to Amazon. As an Amazon Associate I make a small percentage from each purchase (on avg. 2%) – however, feel free to buy from wherever suits you.
