Master Video Skills with Rough Cut Media

Rough Cut Media runs a range of courses to help charities, marketing professionals and businesses improve the quality of their video content.

Run by award winning film maker, videographer and teacher Nick Skinner the courses will teach small groups of students some professional tricks-of-the-trade.

“Thank you so much the training, I’ve learned a lot and feel way more confident about film making.”

The training venture – launched in spring 2025 – will hold its first course at Tramshed Tech in Barry aimed at staff at charities and businesses who want to promote themselves through video, but lack skills and confidence.

The first course is being offered at a low introductory price of just £49+VAT.

It will use mobile phones and free-to-use editing software to teach basic skills to beginners and improvers.

We are planning to add more courses over the spring and summer of 2025. Watch this space!
