Overview

Twelve weeks of video production, taught from Lighthouse — the long-standing Brighton & Hove arts venue. Full studio kit, real edit suites, working filmmakers as tutors.

By week 12 you've crewed on each other's projects, shot a portfolio piece, and learned the workflows that get content from camera to delivered file. This bootcamp is the practical sibling to our Content Creator apprenticeship — same skills, different funding route.
