Wedding Creatives
A workshop for photographers where you can learn how to love short-form video and make Instagram Reels and/or TikToks that feel authentic to you. Hosted by Hannah Millard, Jess Rose & Gina Fernandes.
People think that there is only one or a limited way of creating reels or tiktoks to promote your business and in turn, get those sales. Believe us when we say that this is utter tosh. Yes, that’s right, we used the word: TOSH! We’d happily pop in a ‘pah!’ ‘humbug!’ in there too. And the only reason we have these words to describe reels/tiktoks is because we also used them when it came to making short form video content for the gram. Yep. We went from reel haterz to reel playerz.
You CAN do it differently, you CAN find your style, make them your own and you CAN totally do it too! We’ll be sharing a variety of techniques and the processes and ideas behind them. Trending audio, batching, talking on camera, thinking creatively.... we got you! We’ll cover our workflow and the technical know how we have.
Over the past year, Hannah has been making reels without using trending audio, transitions or music. Starting off as a bonafide reel hater, she has learned to love the format and using it as a way to talk about anything and everything from chair covers to cheese puns. She will be sharing her process of coming up with an initial idea, writing a script and creating the finished product.
Jess will talk about reel making, visibility and queerness. To queer, in a nutshell, means to question our assumptions about fixed meanings, fixed ideas and fixed identities. To queer is to see identity as something which is constantly changing. Hiding behind your work, sharing still photos and never selfies, can feel like a safe option. There is a lot of pressure on small business owners to show up 'authentically', and to be 'your true self'. Jess' approach to making reels is about letting go of this pressure and understanding your identity, your business and your reel-making skills as a work in progress.
Gina is a wizard of turning existing audio into hilarious, relatable videos that help her audience get to know her and her sense of humour better, one reel at a time. Gina will be sharing her tips of how to find great audio and figure out how to apply it to what you do. She'll also be talking you through filming multiple reels in batches so they're ready to post frequently, without taking up all your precious time.
Spaces will be limited and sold on a first come first served basis.
To prep: Download TikTok, watch a few! Watch a few reels. Come with an open mind and be prepared to make one!
Want to head into the new year organised, prepared and ready to smash the shizzle out of it?
I designed a planner just so I could do that! But I don’t want to keep it to myself.
This planner is designed to help you plan your business year, create content and make sure you get shit done.
Inside the planner you’ll find:
A year at a glance page
Pages to help you reflect on what it is you want and a place to write your goals
A month at a glance and a blank month page to plan your social media content
A place to empty your thoughts & the jobs that race through your mind, a place to prioritise and then schedule
Schedule in “time-out” too!
Fuss and fancy free. A black and white diary that is to the point with the odd ‘funny’ here and there to keep you motivated.
