Six modules that follow a launch from brief to recording

Browse each module, see what you practise in it, and check what to prepare before you begin. Every module uses guided practice and instructor feedback.

Module guide

What each module teaches and what you practise

The curriculum is arranged in the order a launch project is produced. Each module names one concrete activity you carry out, and the documents you create stay with you. Later modules assume you have worked through the earlier ones, though you can read ahead.

  1. 01

    Module 1: Project Stages and Briefs

    You walk through the stages of a launch project, from first enquiry to the day itself. The practice work centres on a sample brief: you identify what is missing, list the questions to ask, and decide what must be known before a quotation can responsibly be written.

  2. 02

    Module 2: Cue Planning and Run Sheets

    You build cue sheets and a sample event schedule covering doors opening, speaker changes, the reveal and the final applause. Marcus teaches how to word cues so another operator could call them, and how to leave room for things running late.

  3. 03

    Module 3: Presenter Rehearsals

    You coach presenters through run-throughs using practice scripts, working on timing, stage positions and how to recover from a slip. Jenna demonstrates how to give short, specific notes and how to shape a rehearsal so nervous speakers gain confidence.

  4. 04

    Module 4: Stage Filming

    You place cameras, frame speakers and capture a product reveal from several angles. Priya guides the practice on shot choice, coverage and keeping framing steady when a presenter moves unexpectedly or a prop is revealed.

  5. 05

    Module 5: Live Streaming and Recording

    You set up a stream, monitor audio and video, and organise recordings for delivery after the event. The work covers pre-show checks, what to watch while live, and how to name and file material so it can be handed over cleanly.

  6. 06

    Module 6: Venue Preparation

    You use a venue preparation guide to plan power, access, setup time and safe cable runs. The exercise is a plan that a venue manager and a crew could both follow, with questions to raise early so problems surface before load-in.

Before you start

What to prepare and what to expect

The course is open to beginners, but a little preparation makes the practice sessions more useful. These points cover what we ask of you and what the sessions will ask in return.

  • No technical background

    You do not need prior production experience. Basic comfort with a laptop and a willingness to learn new vocabulary is enough to begin.

  • Time for practice

    Guided sessions are followed by independent exercises. Set aside time between sessions to write cue sheets and review your own plans.

  • Working with others

    Several exercises involve rehearsing with another learner as a presenter. Be ready to give and receive honest, kind notes.

  • Everyday equipment

    A notebook, a laptop and a phone with a camera are enough for early exercises. Instructors explain anything further before it is needed.

  • A sample project in mind

    Think of a launch or premiere you would like to produce. Using it as your practice case makes each module feel concrete.

  • Safe working habits

    Cable runs, power and access are taught with safety in mind. You learn to ask the right questions before anything is set up.

  • Realistic outcomes

    You finish with documents and skills you can use on a real event. The course does not promise work or earnings.

  • Questions welcome

    If you are unsure whether a module fits you, use the contact form. We answer plainly and suggest where to begin.

Study questions

Questions we hear before people join

Most questions concern setup time, how recordings are delivered, and how much practice happens in a session. The Study Questions page answers these in plain terms. If your question is not there, write to us from the contact page. The course is taught in Omaha by three instructors who work on cues, filming, streaming and presenter coaching. We would rather you ask early than guess at what the sessions involve.
