That's a WRAP on our first live webinar about Confidence on Camera! ✅

In this session we covered:
👉 Why some of us are camera-shy
👉 Why this is holding us back from making fab content
👉 Tips and communication techniques to improve camera confidence and deliver your lines like a total pro!

While speaking to just one of the Blackmagics was a little strange, it was definitely a lot of fun! We can't wait to release the next one! Watch this space for the next ticket launch very soon...👀

Thrilled to hear The Bowes Museum on BBC Radio 3 this morning. Petroc Trelawny hosted an enjoyable show as ever. Excellent contributions from Hannah Fox and Jane Whittaker.

We are very fond of filming at The Bowes Museum and particularly the Silver Swan.

Some words of wisdom from Chris this fine Monday! 🤩

So, what is a sixth sense for quality? When you as an audience member look at a post, a billboard, an advert, a video, *any* kind of content, you just seem to know that it's...right! You can sit back and let your senses enjoy the experience, without being jarred by clunky visuals or wonky wording. Being able to just 'enjoy' often comes from having the eye of a creative professional! 👀

Howell Media is on hand with our monthly plans designed to ensure your content looks consistently fantastic, every single time. All you need to do is drop us a message, and we'll take it from there! 😍

A fabulous day spent at the 💡It was great to sit amongst such an innovative community of people, and learn a lot of stuff to keep us thinking for a while, including:

👉 AI may have answers, but we humans should keep asking questions
👉 Space technology is constantly developing, using origami(!?)
👉 Creativity is essential, and anyone can have a go at doing something arty ("ditch the d*ckheads and draw cats" was my favourite sentiment 😺)

Was a lot of fun sitting in the audience for a change rather than behind a livestream desk, and it's got us all fired up for when we're back at next month to capture ATOMICON 24! 🫶
