workshop: Smartphone Filmmaking for Social Media
Our Smartphone Filmmaking for Social Media workshop is designed to give you the confidence to create short-form video content that works on social media using nothing but the device in your pocket.
We deliver our interactive sessions in-person or remotely with groups of around five participants. Attendees come away with the skills needed to plan and script short videos specifically for the social media feed, and the confidence to record and publish them independently.
““This workshop was perfect to enthuse our group to design and record their own social media videos. Even those who were hesitant about being in front of the camera enjoyed the training and have since created their own content.””

““We needed help to move our face-to-face media training to an online platform so that we could continue during Covid-19. Rob was patient, professional and brought out the best in people by putting them at ease. I would recommend Made by Gravity to anyone who is looking for help with facilitating their media training needs.””
Soapbox Science is a public outreach platform which aims to promote women scientists and the work they do. Their events transform public areas into an arena for public learning and scientific debate; following the format of London Hyde Park’s Speakers’ Corner, which is historically an arena for public debate. Soapbox Science gives everyone the opportunity to enjoy, learn from, heckle, question, probe, interact with and be inspired by some of our leading scientists.
