 Why I Created the 14-Day Better Video Starter Series
When I first started making videos, I didn’t know what I was doing. I didn’t understand the terminology, I didn’t know how to get clean shots, and honestly, I was just trying to figure it out as I went.
Over time, I realized what really makes the difference in your videos isn’t just the gear - it’s knowing how to handle your camera, light your scenes, and make creative choices that instantly level up the quality of your work.
 That’s why I created this free 14-day series. I wanted to combine all of the most common questions people ask me about video creation and bring them together in one place. Instead of searching YouTube for random tutorials, you’ll have a structured set of lessons you can follow day by day.
By the end, you’ll walk away with a stronger grasp on how to create videos that look more professional, are easier to shoot, and tell better stories.
