Videography in Christchurch
Christchurch is a good city to learn video in because it is easy to move around and full of controlled motion. The trams through New Regent Street and Cathedral Square are the classic tracking and panning subjects; the Avon's punts are slow enough for a beginner to follow; the Port Hills give you time-lapse of the nor'wester arch building over the Alps, which is one of the best natural time-lapse subjects in the country. New Brighton at sunrise and the surf at Taylors Mistake add water and speed.
The rebuild has made construction time-lapse a genuine local genre: a camera on a fixed mount recording a site over months, edited to a minute. It is technical, it is in demand from developers, and the course's planning and editing modules apply directly. Property walkthroughs, the biggest video market in the city, reward smooth gimbal work and clean exposure through windows onto bright Canterbury light.

What Our Students Say
“I found the course very informative and really enjoyed how I could do each module at my own pace. Deb was very responsive and provided valuable and encouraging feedback. I especially liked how detailed the Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom modules were and the video resources. The course has definitely given me a solid foundation to build upon and I realise I am heading in the right direction with photography.”
