Who is this for?
FX6 Owners!! Whether you’ve just unboxed your FX6 or you’ve had it for a while but want to take control of its powerful features — this day is for you. No experience necessary, just bring your curiosity and a hunger to learn.
Why this workshop is different:
• Intimate class size – limited to 12 shooters only.
Vid has personally requested to keep the group small, so everyone gets individual attention and the chance to ask questions.
• Hands-on learning.
Expect a day packed with practical demonstrations, real-world examples, and the kind of on-set insights you won’t find in a manual or YouTube video.
• A safe, open space.
Vid wants to make one thing clear: there’s no such thing as a stupid question. This is a creative environment where you’re encouraged to speak up, dive deep, and take full advantage of his time and knowledge.
This is a one-day-only chance to learn from one of the best in the business. Spaces will go fast — don’t miss out.
Focus: Mastering the basics of the FX-6. Learn how to navigate the camera, set it up for different shooting scenarios, and get comfortable with its key features. We'll focus on storytelling fundamentals, framing, lighting, and camera movement.
What to Expect: Hands-on instruction with a focus gaining a greater real world understanding of the camera. You will leave the day feeling much more confident with the skills you have gained. Benefit from being in a room with people of a similar level.
Lunch is included! We can't wait to see you there

"This course really was a complete learning package with the technical breakdown of the camera's functions and how to get the best out of it. Being able to better understand what the camera can do, how to set it up, and then putting that into practice with experienced camera operators for advice was amazing. Thanks for a great day!"
