How I Became a Videographer in 3 months
Hey, I’m Jono (on the right). This is Jason (on the left)!
Us on our first paid shoot. FYI I had no idea how to use that glidecam…
In 2019, I started my first full-time job as a corporate lawyer, but I quickly realised that a 9-5 job and climbing the corporate ladder for the next 40 years was not for me…
At the time, Jason was studying full-time in law school and was feeling unfulfilled and directionless with the path he was taking in life.
At the start of 2020, whilst working and studying full-time, we decided to get out of our comfort zone. We took a leap of faith, learnt a new creative skill and started a videography & photography side hustle.
At the start of 2022, I quit my corporate job which at the time, paid a $100,000+ per year salary, Jason graduated from law school and we decided to dive head first into creative entrepreneurship and pursue our videography business full—time.
Despite both graduating from top law schools with honours and having “good career prospects” ahead of us, we decided to take a risk...
Today, we run a multi-six figure videography/photography business and we aim to document and share our learnings along the way with our community online. Our mission is to help others just like us, who feel lost and directionless with their chosen life path, turn their creative passion into a profitable high income skill so they can live fulfilling lives earning a good income doing something they love.
What our students have said about working with us
“So before I was only making $1-3k a month whereas last month I just hit $10k which is pretty crazy and a lot of the skills that got me to that is from this program. This has probably been the best investment I ever made and it has completely changed my mindset around business and videography”
Drew - Film school student who wanted to start his own videography business.
“Prior to the program I quit my job. I was 3 months into taking this side business of mine and creating a full company. It was going well but not to the point where I thought it would last as long as it has and been as successful as it has become. And I truly have to thank Jono and Jason here.”
Mike - Just quit his 9-5 to pursue videography full-time.
“My biggest win is I already made 2 really good videos that I’m very proud of through all the mentorship that you’ve done with me. And people reaching out already with just 1-2 videos, it blows my mind!”
Kelly - Dental hygienist just starting her videography journey.
“Before I joined the program, I was almost like a hobbyist…I had no clue what I was doing and I just went there and I filmed. 8 months later, I managed to get a job as my university’s sport photographer and videographer.”
Sam - University student looking to turn his videography hobby into a high income skill

Who is this program PERFECT FOR?
You are working a 9-5 corporate job and feeling unfulfilled and directionless in life. You love being creative and want to learn a new skill, start a side hustle and earn some extra income. This will not only give you something meaningful to work on outside your 9-5 job, but you want this side hustle to have the potential to one day become your main hustle.
You are a university student who is CERTAIN the 9-5 climbing the corporate ladder life is not for you. University has taught you NOTHING about how to actually start a business and make money outside a 9-5 job. You have a passion for videography and storytelling and you’re looking for guidance on how to turn this passion into a skill that makes money.
You are a video hobbyist and own a bunch of camera equipment. You have always wanted to start your own videography business but have no idea where to start.
You are a beginner videographer who has had a bit of professional experience here and there. However, you want to take your craft to the next level and learn how to create a six figure income with your skillset.
Who is this program NOT for?
People who do not believe in the value of continuing self-education and professional development.
People who do not believe a mentor/coach can fast track their learning progress and save them time and money from making mistakes.
People who have a fixed mindset and are unwilling to be open minded to new perspectives and take action towards their dreams.
People who are ok with the status quo of a 9-5 job and climbing the corporate ladder for the next 40 years. Creative entrepreneurship is not for everyone!
