Welcome to the Moto Riders Video creator series. This course aims to help riders share their motorcycling adventures via video by guiding them through planning, capturing, editing and publishing video content.


Back in 2011, when I was Digital Manager for V8 Supercars, we got our hands on this relatively unknown camera called a GoPro Hero 2. We stuck them on race cars, fences and people; overnight, it changed the possibilities of video content. Since then, I've been using these cameras almost daily and have experimented with every addition and accessory.


Throwing decades of video and photography knowledge into the mix, and a bit of business agility coaching, hopefully, there are at least a few things you'll find valuable.
