Comments from our video course students

“I had so much fun making this video, and before you ask, I thought I had no creative bone in my body. Now I might start looking at a career change with the quality of the video I have made!” – Robin Sheppard, Portsmouth Technopole/Oxford Innovation Center Manager (This is what she made on the day – see below. Yes, that’s me being “interviewed”!)

“This is just the sort of course I like – packed in and practical. We are very conscious we need to keep pace with multimedia use and marketing and this was just the job to provide the basics, plus some more advanced tips and the steps needed to develop our own strategy – thank you both.” – Nick Moon, MD Applied Resilience

“We got a lot out of the day and are looking forward to putting everything we’ve learnt into practice. The ground work you covered in the course is also important. Making sure the story is pitched for people at the various parts of their potential buying journey is critical to making the right bit of film. We thought both Neville and Martine had lots of tips and experience to offer us which we really appreciated, and more than happy to recommend the course.” – Clare Blatchford-Hanna, MD Anode Outlet

“We started with lots of great tips from Martine around affordable equipment that made making the video so much easier and more professional. Neville’s marketing knowledge and experience was incredibly useful and was an essential part of the day. Not point having a great looking video unless its relevant and works for you. Anyone who has been put off trying a social media video – get on this course! I actually feel confident about putting some videos together now as I feel they should stand out for the right reasons.” – Neil Tarbet, Director AMAC Mortgages

“The training we undertook with Martine – Waves Video – was fantastic and has really helped us establish our business product. Our session was tailored to our needs and undertaken in a relaxed and friendly manor. The support and advice we continue to receive since our session has also been greatly appreciated”. – Vicky Howard, Director, TeachTalkLearn.
