A One-Day Smartphone Content Workshop
The Bare Minimum Method Workshop
Minimum effort. Maximum content.
You've filmed forty takes of the same eight seconds. Still haven't posted.
It's not that you don't know content matters. It's that filming and editing yourself feels like a full second job on top of the one you already have — and somehow everyone else makes it look easy.
A finished content library — filmed, directed, and edited, ready to post.
A complete story sequence — a directed day, so you know how to structure a shoot yourself next time.
A B-roll library — footage you can pull from and drop into a reel whenever you need one.
How to shoot with intent — what to film, how to frame it, how to light it.
This is for you if —
You create some or all of your own social content. You know you need to show up more consistently, but it feels difficult or time-consuming. You're not confident filming or photographing yourself. You want everyday content to look better, without complicated equipment. You still value professional photography and video — but need to create good content yourself in between shoots. No previous experience required.
Not the right fit if —
You want to become a full-time content creator or influencer. You'd rather watch a recording than get up and film. You're after a passive lecture, not a hands-on practical. You want a professional shoot done for you, not skills to do it yourself — that's what Studio TingTing's shoots are for. This workshop is what happens in between.
BY THE END OF THE DAY
What You'll Walk Away With
A finished content library — filmed, directed, and edited, ready to post. A complete story sequence — a directed day, so you know how to structure a shoot yourself next time. A B-roll library — footage you can pull from and drop into a reel whenever you need one. How to shoot with intent — what to film, how to frame it, how to light it. Simple editing skills — transitions, text, sound, done live, on your own phone. A body that knows what to do — a warm-up that shifts guarded energy into confident energy. A takeaway guide to run the whole process again, solo. A room of other founders figuring out the exact same thing.
THE STORY PRACTICAL
A Day in Your Own Story
Six scenes, filmed and photographed as one connected narrative through the space.
SCENE 01
Mirror
Opening hook — picking up the phone, checking yourself.
SCENE 02
Coffee Ritual
The "coffee on the balcony" storyline.
SCENE 03
Desk Work
Doing the work, in the office/desk setup.
SCENE 04
Doorway
A threshold moment.
SCENE 05
The Reveal
Window-light portrait — warm-up happens right before this one.
SCENE 06
Exit
The walk-away.
You, Directing You
Natural, not stiff: what to actually do with your hands, how to create movement instead of freezing into a pose, how to get real variety out of one single setup. Solo & still good: setting the phone up on a timer or remote, propping it at the right height and angle, finding your mark in frame without someone telling you where to stand, and directing a friend or partner when they're the one holding the camera.
Mel — Filming & Editing
Content creator who's spent years figuring out what actually works, so attendees don't have to. Leads the filming and editing side — how to shoot simply, edit fast, and build a B-roll system that saves real time every week.
Tammy — Presence & Direction
Studio TingTing — personal branding and commercial photographer with an advertising background. Leads the direction side: how to actually feel confident the moment a lens is pointed at you.

Before You Join: Do I need any experience? No previous photography or video experience required — this is built for beginners who already run a business. Do I need a certain type of phone? Any modern smartphone works. We'll confirm any editing app to install beforehand. Is this just photography, or video too? Both — Mel leads video and editing, Tammy leads photography and on-camera presence. What should I bring? Just your phone, charged, with storage space free. What if the workshop sells out? Join the waitlist and you'll be first to know about the next date. What's the cancellation policy? Details confirmed at booking.
