Need proof?

2,000+ Creators got tired of making mediocre videos.

I didn't pick up a camera until I was 28.

If you feel like you’re late to the game, I’ve been there.

No degree. No gear. Just an old iPhone, a $200 drone, and a notebook full of scribbled ideas.

I started filming expeditions to make a few bucks on the side — but my videos felt flat.

No story. No emotion. Just clips with transitions that tried to do the job storytelling was meant to do.

notebook.png

I didn’t know how to shoot a sequence or craft a story.


When I finally finished my first documentary, editing took six painful months — not because it was technically hard, but because I had no idea what I was trying to say.

That’s when it hit me:

If people don’t feel something, they won’t care.
I stopped obsessing over gear and started focusing on how to tell a story with purpose.

In 2023, I began running in-person workshops.

Each class was filled with creators who reminded me of myself: inspired, but overwhelmed.
They left the room motivated — but back home, they were stuck again, trying to piece together half-finished notes.

Watching that happen gave me an idea.

What if I gave them the exact toolkit I wish I had when I started?

That’s when I built The Shots Guide.

I combined everything I’d learned into a complete, proven resource:

  • Cinematic shot templates

  • Story structure frameworks

  • Short-form editing tools

  • Real-world, mobile-friendly examples

  • Zero fluff. All signal.

This isn’t a course. It’s a field-tested shortcut for creators who want to make videos that don’t just look good — they mean something.

To prove it worked, I ran the system on my own Instagram.

In one year:

  • I gained over 150,000 followers

  • My videos consistently hit over 1 million views

  • Brands reached out, and more importantly — people started messaging me saying my stories actually moved them

The Shots Guide is designed to help you:

  • Plan purposeful, story-led videos

  • Film with clarity — even on an iPhone

  • Edit without second-guessing every cut

  • Stand out in a sea of recycled content

If you’re serious about creating videos that feel cinematic and actually connect with people, this is for you.

This isn’t a guide on how to go viral. It’s not about chasing trends or followers.

 

It’s a practical toolkit you can apply in your own way — to make meaningful, story-driven content that lasts longer than a trend cycle.

 

If you're ready to stop guessing and start creating, you've got everything you need right here.

What's Inside?

EDITING

Turn your footage into stories people actually watch.

​Good editing is the difference between the videos people skip and the videos people share.

Stop just stitching together clips and praying they work. I'll teach you how to craft raw footage into a smooth, engaging story.

Your videos won't just look professional—they’ll actually resonate.

Great storytelling doesn't have to be complicated.
 
Storytelling is the secret sauce behind every video that gets shared, saved, and remembered.

Learn the simple story frameworks I use to hook attention, build emotion, and deliver impact—fast. 
 
In this section, you’ll learn how to structure stories that actually connect—whether it’s a 15-second reel or a full-on brand film.

STORYTELLING

FILMING & FRAMING

Tell stories without saying a damn word.

Framing isn’t just about looking pretty—it's about making people feel something.
Forget random-ass clips that bore people to death.

Learn exactly how angles, movement, and smart composition create visuals powerful enough to grab attention without ever needing dialogue.

SOUND DESIGN

Make people actually feel something.

Here’s a secret nobody talks about:
Audio is half your damn video.


Master layering sound effects, music, and dialogue that pull viewers in, keep them hooked, and have them DM’ing you:
"How the hell did you do that?"


Your videos will finally feel professional, memorable, and immersive.

COLOR GRADING

Give your videos a cinematic glow-up.
 
Color isn’t just filters and presets—it’s emotion, energy, and cinematic impact.
 
I'll show you how to easily enhance your footage, nail your style, and create videos that command attention.​

Instantly level up your visuals and get the cinematic look you thought required a Netflix budget (spoiler: it doesn't).

LIGHTING

Craft the mood—because no one remembers average.

Lighting isn’t just about being seen.
It’s about being felt.


Shape the mood, control emotion, and elevate your videos from forgettable phone-clips to Hollywood-level cinematics.​

Make your videos visually irresistible (even if your gear costs less than your last Uber Eats order).

Here's what you get:

A complete guide on how to:​

  Plan impactful videos using simple, ready-to-use templates

 Film high-quality, cinematic content—even with just an iPhone
 Craft compelling stories with easy, proven storytelling tactics
