The world of content has changed

Great photos aren't enough anymore

Brands, tourism boards, weddings and every social platform are prioritising video and short-form content more than ever. But for most people, the video side of the camera still feels overwhelming.

You don't know what to film

Blank-page paralysis every time you pick up the camera, and no system for coming up with ideas.

Editing takes forever

Messy timelines, too many clips and overcomplicated software, so hours disappear on a single reel.

Your videos don't perform

Great footage that somehow doesn't connect, plus frame rates, profiles and export settings that feel like a film degree.

That is exactly why I built this masterclass: no fluff, no jargon, just real-world systems and workflows that actually work in 2026.

Not just for influencers

Built for anyone who wants to create better video

You don't need Instagram, and you don't need to be a filmmaker. The shooting, editing and storytelling skills apply to travel videos, YouTube, drone work, weddings, business content, documentaries and everyday adventures.

Whether you shoot on Nikon, Sony, Canon, DJI, Fujifilm, GoPro, Insta360 or even your phone, this is built to help you create better video with the gear you already own.

Why it works

Shoot, edit and strategy in one room

So you leave with finished content, real skills and a clear plan, instead of another folder of clips you never touch.

Beginner to intermediate

No experience required. Come with curiosity and leave with real, repeatable skills.

A personal group so you get hands-on guidance and feedback at every step.

Accommodation included

Stay on site, stay focused and make the most of three full days together.

What we'll cover

Three days, one complete system

From the first frame you shoot to the post that goes live, and how to make it perform.

Day 1 · Shooting content people actually watch

Master the video side of your camera and film footage that feels cinematic on any device, then head out for a real-world shoot together.

Video settings simplified · frame rates & slow motion · shutter speed for video · cinematic handheld · vertical-first filming · movement & storytelling · audio basics · lens choices · drone & action-cam workflows · POV storytelling · content batching so you never run out of ideas.

Day 2 · Editing & video workflows

Turn footage into polished video with fast, realistic workflows, then edit your own reel with live guidance and feedback.

DaVinci Resolve on desktop: import & organise, timelines, pacing, colour grading, transitions, sound design, exporting for each platform. CapCut on desktop & mobile: fast edits, captions, speed ramping, music syncing, editing for retention, and how to avoid over-editing.

Day 3 · Content strategy, viral reels & monetisation

Understand why people stop scrolling, and how creators turn content into income. This is one of the biggest sections of the whole masterclass.

Hooks & the first three seconds · retention psychology · storytelling structure · why reels fail or explode · Instagram in 2026 · building a personal brand · plus monetising through tourism, hotels, retainers, weddings, UGC, brand partnerships and digital products.

Optional Day 4 · Advanced Creator Intensive

For those who want to go deeper. A smaller-group intensive built around real-world content and personalised feedback.

Advanced reel breakdowns · audience retention graphs · advanced hook structures · advanced drone movement · colour grading · brand building · client acquisition, plus personalised reviews of your filming, editing and socials.

Platforms you'll master

Edit anywhere, from pro desktop to your phone

You'll build fast, repeatable workflows in DaVinci Resolve and CapCut on both desktop and mobile, plus edit straight for Instagram, so you can create wherever you are.

Real proof, not theory
19M+ views

On Day 3, I break down one of my own reels with over 19 million views: exactly how the hook was structured, what kept people watching, and why the footage itself actually wasn't the most important part. Because attention is the game, and it can be learned.

Josh Beames
Your mentor

Hey, I'm Josh Beames

As a professional photographer based in Australia and proudly supported by Nikon Australia, I've spent more than a decade creating and sharing my work across almost every genre.

Video and short-form content changed everything for my business. Learning to shoot, edit and post with intention is what turned a passion into a brand people follow, and content into real income.

In this masterclass I share the exact process I use, in plain language, with no filmmaking jargon or tech-bro energy. Just the real systems that work. I look forward to teaching you.

Questions

Good to know

Do I need an expensive camera?

No. Bring whatever you already create with, a mirrorless camera, drone, GoPro, Insta360, or even your phone. All major camera brands are welcome, and a big part of the masterclass is helping you get more out of the gear you already own.

Is this just for Instagram reels?

No. Short-form content is a big part of it, but the shooting, storytelling and editing skills apply to YouTube, travel films, drone work, weddings, business and tourism content, documentaries and personal projects. Even without Instagram, this will massively benefit you.

What editing software do we use?

DaVinci Resolve on desktop and CapCut on both desktop and mobile. Both are free, and you'll learn when to use each and how to build a fast, realistic workflow in them.

Do I need any experience?

None at all. It's designed for beginner to intermediate creators, and all ages are welcome. We simplify the process so video creation feels approachable instead of overwhelming.

Is accommodation included?

Yes, accommodation in Warrnambool is included for all options, so you can stay on site and make the most of the full three days.

What is the optional Day 4?

An advanced Creator Intensive in a smaller group, with deeper reel breakdowns, advanced editing and drone work, brand building, and personalised feedback on your filming, editing and socials. You can add it for $750.
