Videography in Napier
Hawke's Bay's practice subjects are made for video: vine rows for tracking shots, harvest crews and machinery for movement, the Art Deco precinct for architectural sequences with strong lines, Marine Parade for sunrise time-lapse, and the gannets at Cape Kidnappers for a first wildlife sequence with a long lens. The Art Deco Festival in February is the region's real-world classroom: vintage cars, crowds, costumes and performances in a noisy, bright environment that tests every skill the course teaches.
Sound is manageable here; the region is less windy than the coast to the south, which makes Hawke's Bay a good place to learn microphones and location basics before tackling harder environments.

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.”
