Filmmaking 101 with Niles
$25
Welcome to the course produced by Moment's very own Niles Grey. Having worked for Moment for the last several years he's been a dominant part of the YouTube channel and also helped create some of Moment's most successful Online Courses. This course is going to be filled with beginner knowledge as well as intermediate tips and tricks so you can get shooting immediately. After this course, you won't have anything mastered( this isn't a quick fix) but what you will have is foundational knowledge on which to build and grow. We'll go over the basics of exposure, camera science, focal lengths, composition, and then dive into the world of lighting, shooting sequences, and even my own personal approach to filmmaking.

Our Review
Filmmaking 101 with Niles — The Foundations Every Travel Video Creator Needs
The gist: A 200+-minute crash course covering the full travel video pipeline — from camera settings and lighting to audio and Premiere Pro editing — for under the price of a single ND filter.
- Full production pipeline: Eight modules span exposure (aperture, shutter speed, ISO, frame rates), focal lengths, composition, lighting, mic selection, and hands-on Premiere Pro editing.
- Audio covered: Microphone selection for different shooting situations is included — one of the most commonly skipped skills in DIY travel video.
- Honest about the learning curve: Instructor Niles Grey states upfront this builds foundational knowledge rather than instant mastery — a useful expectation-setter before your first video trip.
- Moment-tested curriculum: Niles has helped produce some of Moment's most successful YouTube content and online courses, so the production approach is field-proven.
On Moment's platform the course holds a 4.6/5-star rating from 11 verified purchasers, with reviewers noting its practical, no-fluff structure.
Best for: Travel bloggers and content creators building their first video workflow, especially those who own mirrorless or DSLR gear but haven't learned the fundamentals. Skip it if: You're already an experienced filmmaker — the beginner-to-intermediate scope won't break new ground. Runs ~$25 — check the current price before buying.
