Hello house, i am in dire need of your advice, suggestions and contributions. For one who is aspiring to be a professional cameraman and video editor, is there any course that can be read in school to that effect, and if there is, which school(s) offer such? Or must training be from craftsmen in this field? Patiently waiting for your answers, thanks.

Look for a professional cameraman and attach yourself to him, that's the best to learn.

on your period, get some PDF on Google and read them, check out some YouTube files in regard to your profession.

Be determined, consistence and passionate.... in due time you'll be great. All professionals once started from somewhere.

Please am begging you in the name of God, Clarence Peters is not a camera man, he is a Cinematographer and a D. O. P, and you don't necessarily need to go to any Nigerian school to be like him. All you need is your zeal, passion, commitment and precision to be like him.

First you need a high quality camera I'll recommend Nikon 5200 for starters but if you want something more professional, you can go for Panasonic GH4.

Then you need a high end computer (laptop or desktop but most preferable desktop)

You choose the best video editing software suitable for you. I use Adobe Premier pro cc 2018 and Adobe After Effects cc 2017

Then you enter YouTube and browse for Cinematography tutorials. There are over one thousand and one of them.

Finally you practice what you've learnt. And with constant practice comes perfection and with perfection comes success and with success comes Clarence Peters.


P. S trust me you wouldn't want to go to any Nigerian school to learn Cinematography, even Clarence did not learn it in Nigeria. If you have the money I'll advise you to learn it abroad.

Do these and thank me later

My brother don't waste your money going to any training institute. Just look for an experienced practicing expert with track records in the industry and train under him or her.

I tell you this from my personal experience.
