The process

The actual workflow, not a lecture about the workflow.

This is the exact process Brandon uses — how he plans, shoots, edits, and finishes real projects. Every technique in this library came from making the films below. You can take any of it and apply your own eye to it. That's the whole point.

From inside the Studio
Theja Mitta — Theyyam: A God Awakens

Unscripted Studio member Theja Mitta is a software engineer who picked up a camera for the first time — and within months of going through the program was producing work like this.

He followed the process, taught himself to shoot, and produced two films that have been watched over 23,000 times — with fewer than 100 subscribers.

The work

These films are where the courses came from.

Everything in this library is what I figured out in the process of making these — the techniques, the way I move through a scene, how I think about a story before I pick up a camera. Nothing was invented for a classroom. You can take any of it and apply your own eye to it. That's the whole point.

Planning and Pre-Production

No Gear Required

Getting inspired, location research, budgeting, scheduling, legal clearances. Avoid the beginner mistakes that ruin otherwise great projects.

From inside the Studio
"Now that I see there is method and not simply the luck of an innate creative gene, I'm inspired."
Kenneth G. — Studio Member
"The improvised storytelling lessons are just what I was looking for. They are really going to take my filmmaking to a whole another level."
Jakub Z. — Studio Member
"Your basics are great. I love the fact that you're a direct to the point type of guy — articulate and taking the time to share your mindset and reasoning as you go. That's so valuable."
Dave W. — Studio Member
Questions

A few things worth knowing

I already own one of the courses. What does this actually add?
Everything you don't already have. Your existing course stays yours — this purchase adds lifetime access to the rest of the library. That includes courses that have never been sold individually: A Day in Chiang Mai, Island Memories, The Editing Bootcamp, The Handheld Bootcamp, and Planning and Pre-Production. If you own the Gimbal Masterclass, for example, this adds nine more courses. If you own two or three, it fills in everything else.
What's in the courses I haven't seen yet?
The full breakdown is above. The short version: the library covers every major aspect of Brandon's filmmaking process — camera movement, storytelling without a script, editing in Final Cut and DaVinci, directing in the field, iPhone-only production, gimbal work from beginner to advanced, multi-camera fusion, and full pre-production planning. Several courses include downloadable footage so you can follow along in the edit with the same clips Brandon used.
Is this really lifetime access — or does it expire?
Lifetime means lifetime. One payment, no renewal, no subscription, no auto-billing. Your access doesn't expire.
How do I use my discount code?
Enter it in the coupon field at checkout below. If you arrived from the email link, it may already be filled in. The code is single-use, tied to your name, and has an expiration date — check your email for details.
