The Sandy Tracks Academy

For filming, yes. My iPhone shoots a big chunk of my own content, and the lessons cover both phone and camera, so you don't need to buy gear to start. For editing you'll need a laptop or desktop, which I cover below.

Definitely not. No followers, no experience, no editing background. The academy starts from complete beginner level - exactly where I was in November 2023 and builds from there.

It depends on which path you take — there's a self-paced track and there's working with me directly, and they're priced very differently. That's the whole point of the call: I'd rather work out which path would benefit you than sell you the most expensive option. No pressure, no pitch. If it's not the right fit, I'll tell you.

I can't promise you will, and anyone who does is lying. What I can do is teach you everything I know: how to create quality, polished content, and what brands are actually looking for. But at the end of the day I can't create the content for you. You'll get out of this exactly what you put in.

Yes. Most of my audience is overseas. The examples are 4x4 and camping in Australia, but the skills don't care where you are.

The Academy is built for people wanting to create off-road and camping content like mine. Most of what I teach carries across to any niche. You'll just have to translate the examples to your own content.

Premiere Pro. I've tried a few, and it's the one I'd choose again. It's the industry standard, and the rest of Adobe's tools plug straight into it. You'll need a laptop or desktop to run it, and if you've never used one for editing, that's exactly who I built this for. I teach it from the very first click. If you want to level up your content, you'll need to move beyond phone apps eventually. Premiere is a paid program, but I'll show you how to use Adobe's full Creative Cloud free for around three weeks, then get it at a big discount while you work out if you want to keep using it.
