FAQ

  • Is this course suitable just for beginners?

    No—it’s perfect for beginners and 360 creators who want to build stronger shooting habits, learn pro techniques, and unlock the full creative potential of their camera. Whether you’ve just unboxed your 360 or you’ve been experimenting for a while, this course meets you where you are—and takes you further, faster.

  • What camera and editing kit do I need to buy?

    Even if you don't have your 360 camera yet you can still get so much from this course to prepare you for when your new camera arrives. I have included files for you to download so you can practice the editing sessions along with me. Once you get your new camera you can use the free mobile app and desktop software from insta360. This course will benefit any beginner with a 360 camera but is aimed primarily at insta360's range of cameras.

  • How long will it take to learn and see results

    I have included shot reference cards that can be viewed on your mobile which you'll be able to use straightaway and start trying out new shots so you'll start benefitting immediately. There are also a number of PDFs and a couple of ebooks which can be referred to on the move. The course itself has over 2 hours of material split into easy to watch short lessons so you can go through it as slow or as fast as you like.

  • How long can I access the course for?

    You have unlimited access to the course for the lifetime of the course. "Lifetime access" refers to access for as long as the course is available. This means you will have access to all course materials, updates, and support for the duration that the course is offered. While I have no plans to discontinue the course, should I need to due to issues with online platforms, I will notify all enrolled users in advance and will make every reasonable effort to continue providing access in another format or platform.

14 Day No Quibble Refund Policy

I have spent many years as a cameraman and many months creating this course which includes knowledge I have gained as a 360 video creator and as a cameraman for more than 25 years. I am certain after completing this course you will feel more confident shooting and reframing 360 video and will have enough knowledge to tackle most situations that you come across. However, if you complete the course and you feel it didn't provide enough value I'll refund you.
