THREE WEEKS TO CREATING ENGAGING VIDEOS THAT FEEL GREAT!
How comfortable are you being yourself on video?
This time last year I was trying and failing to start an online video blog. I could record the videos ok and I could remember what to say and I knew how to edit (kinda) and even my lighting choices weren’t awful but it just felt... blegh!
I was self conscious about speaking to a machine so instead of being my natural, exuberant self I came across as stilted and robotic.
I hated everything I made!
This was a huge shock to me because I teach this stuff! I've been helping clients feel comfortable on camera for years. I know all the rules and all the tricks. But I didn't have a buddy. It's easy when you have a coach or a friend to talk to and help you feel comfortable. But I didn't have someone to help me the way I help my clients. I wanted to film on my own.
So I embarked on a journey of experimentation, using all the tricks I taught my clients, plus a few I made up along the way. I finally figured out the secret to being myself on camera when I'm BY myself. What a relief!
And now I bring to you the process that I learned. Because you may not have a buddy. You may not be ready for a professional coach. You may want the freedom to experiment and play and feel silly all on your own at 3am in your basement until you feel 100% confident with the way you come across on camera. And you can. In just three weeks we can take this journey from awkward and overwhelmed to confident, comfortable joy.

MEET THE TEAM:
Danielle Benzon from Inspired Coaching will be drawing on her personal experience as well as years working with actors and speakers on and off camera to provide tips on performance, personal style, and how to stay authentic and energized under stressful situations.

That experience gave her a deep appreciation for the complexity and expressiveness of language and voice that has influenced every aspect of her life.

Jennifer Shanse from UpperStory Films will be sharing her expertise with the technical side. She'll share some editing tips, style advice and how to set up a basic home studio on a budget.
After graduating from UBC’s film program, Jennifer spent a couple years in England in post-production and marketing. She was lucky to attend the Marche at Cannes as part of Continent Film. Her travels took her to Ghana, where she volunteered at local television station Coastal TV directing, shooting and editing documentaries and narratives. Before turning her sights on promotional video, she spent time on the Thai-Burma border where she shot and directed a documentary with New Zealand-based non-profit SpinningTop. Besides her film background, she also has strong roots in small business. While attending university she helped build a retail business, and this is now her second small business. "I know how hard it is, how much work and how many sacrifices it takes to be successful. Video marketing has helped a lot of companies drive sales, raise brand awareness and increase subscribers. I take what I learned in independent film and utilize it for small businesses and non-profits – a unique cinematic style for promotional filmmaking." |
Authenticity on camera is something I've struggled with for a long time. It's only since I started working with Danielle that things have really started falling into place. It's one thing to feel authentic, but when you're in front of a camera or on a stage, it's very difficult to tap into that real authenticity and to get your message across the way that you want. |

Danielle helped me realize how important video is because I'd be doing something that is another way to connect to my audience. Something that the rest of the industry isn't necessarily doing. ~ Winona Reinsma

Why is video so effective? Because it can create a fast, real, leverage-able human connection.
The hardest part is just not being a cardboard-cut-out version of yourself!
Have you thought about creating video a thousand times but never quite got started?
We'll walk you through every stage of the process one step at a time so that you have content you love and is ready for publication before the end of the course.
Are you happy with what you're putting out there or are you just pushing through the pain hoping it'll get better?
If you don't feel like the online version of you is real, what's the point? Building a video audience is about creating relationships. If your videos aren't getting the results that you want, ask yourself if you would relate to and trust the person on camera.
In Camera Confidence we'll walk you through how to drop in to your authentic self as soon as you're faced with a camera. We'll help you choose framing, editing and storytelling styles that suit your personality or brand. We'll give you the low down on all that lovely technical stuff. You'll be amazed at all the equipment you DON'T need to look and sound professional!
Camera Confidence is perfect for DIY video blogs and as an essential piece of preparation for a professional video shoot.
Even the best videographer can't make you look relaxed or bring your personality out. That has to come from you. So before you spend a fortune hiring a professional videographer that you may not be ready for, try out this simple 21 day program that will transform your relationship with your camera / laptop / phone. Learn to make a friend of the lens so that making video blogs from your home office, or making that travel blog, or selling an online course is as comfortable a thing to do as chatting to a good friend over coffee.
You don’t need a lot of fancy or expensive gear to start out. Depending on your project you might already have everything you already need! Or very close to. We'll show you how to set up the simplest of home studio's for under $100. Bells and whistles optional.
And later, if you do need to hire a videographer for a professional project, you'll know they're capturing the very best version of you on that great film!
