Learn to become the creator.
Camera classes, content training and corporate team sessions in Queenstown, Cromwell and Dunedin. Taught by working filmmakers. You don't sit and listen. You go out and shoot.
Three ways in
Camera classes run at the studio on Camp Street and, from now, in Dunedin. Content Training runs in Queenstown, Cromwell and Dunedin. Pick the one that matches what you're actually trying to do.
Camera Fundamentals
You own a camera. It's still on auto, or it's in a cupboard. Time to change that.
Start with Fundamentals →Content Training
You run a business and post when you remember to. Learn social media content properly, on the phone you already carry.
See Content Training →Corporate Training
Your team makes the content. Not an agency. Camera, social and AI training, built around your business.

I'm Dave. I run FanCast Productions, shooting for brands and businesses around Queenstown most weeks.
CamerAcademy is the classroom version of that. Same eye, same standards, just pointed at you instead of a client.
I've spent fifteen years in education, and between Toni and me there's two decades of filmmaking and content creation behind every class. Toni brings the live production side, so you're learning from people who do this for real, not just talk about it.
The full ladder, when you're ready
Camera Fundamentals is level one of four. Once you've got the basics locked, here's where it goes.
