Course
As a 10-year professional pet photographer with a film degree, I’ve always wanted to elevate the memories my clients share with their pets by bringing their stories to life creatively through the magic of film.
Knowing the energy and spontaneity of these animals made heavier video equipment less practical, I experimented with optimizing the powerful tool that lay tucked away in my bag most days - my smartphone. Diving deep into the surprising potential of these cameras, I learned everything I could about mobile filmmaking. After offering pet-related film services for 3 years, I knew it was time to share this knowledge and give you, the dog owner, a chance to learn and experience the joy of spending quality time with your pet while you unleash the skills to create timeless cinematic memories of your own.
Through years of trial and error, I've learned a very important lesson.
You don’t need a fancy camera, pricey equipment, or a film degree to create beautiful, impactful content with your dog that connects with people and shows off the legendary personality of your furry "one and only". Once you grasp the basics of filmmaking, the possibilities are endless for what you can create. That’s exactly what inspired me to launch this course, to give dog owners the easiest, most affordable, and fastest way to learn how to film stunning, cinematic videos of their dogs—using nothing but their smartphones!
So come join the global movement and let’s make some unforgettable, fur-filled memories that are good for the soul. I can't wait to see what you create!
