We help small businesses like you create effective, evergreen videos that grow your business – without turning you into a 24/7 content machine.

DIY Video Marketing, Done Right

Why does making videos for your business always feel like such a pain? 

Pro videos are too expensive, and doing it yourself takes time and energy you just don’t have. And even after all that, your videos still don’t get the results you want.

That’s where Video Made Simple Academy comes in.

Our simple, step-by-step video production system gives you everything you need to confidently create targeted, powerful video marketing that turns passive viewers into loyal customers.

Join today, and you’ll get…

No time to film? We get it. That’s why we run nationwide ‘drop-in’ filming sessions with a professional crew. Just book a slot, show up, and say your bit to camera – no setup, no stress!

Video marketing can feel overwhelming. So we’ve made it simple. Our step-by-step training is ready whenever you are, with a proven system that actually makes sense.

Not sure where to start with your video? No sweat. Our AI script tool and templates do the hard part for you, so you can create a scroll-stopping script in minutes.

If your videos aren’t looking how you imagined, that’s not on you! Our drag & drop creative assets give you everything you need to level up your edits – no design skills needed.

Not sure if your video’s working? Send it in for a proper review. You’ll get personalised, recorded feedback showing exactly what to tweak – and how to get better with every video.

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Inside the Academy, you’ll get access to a private community and live Q&As – the perfect place to get help, feedback and inspiration whenever you need it.

Who we can help

Who we can’t help

Hi, I’m Mick Walker

DSC06248

I’m Mick Walker, and I’ve been a professional video producer since 2005 (yep, that’s before YouTube even existed!)

Since 2009, I’ve run Boxset Media, an award-winning production company that’s created over 5,000 videos for global brands like Kellogg’s, Santander, the BBC and the NHS. 

But there’s no huge media empire here – I run a lifestyle business by design. And while I’ve loved working on high-end shoots, I’ve always wanted to help smaller businesses get results from video too – without the hefty price tag.

That’s why I built Video Made Simple Academy. It started with a few free resources and masterclasses and snowballed into the complete platform it is today. 

This isn’t about churning out endless content or going viral on social. It’s about giving time-poor business owners and marketers everything they need to make smart, strategic videos that actually grow their business.

No fluff, no filler – just videos that work!

Got questions?

Absolutely! The Academy is made for anyone using video to grow their business – whether you’re working on your own, part of a small team, or involved in marketing, education or even the public sector.
But it’s not for wannabe YouTubers or people chasing likes. This is for businesses that want real results – more leads, more sales, more impact. Influencers need not apply!

This isn’t just a course – it’s proper support for business owners who want to get video marketing done without the fluff. You’ll get access to training, tools, feedback and filming opportunities – all built by an award-winning video production company with over a decade of experience. This isn’t influencer fluff or creator guesswork. It’s real-world guidance that actually works for businesses like yours.

Nope. Social content is just one part of it. The Academy helps you make all kinds of videos – from sales and product explainers, to YouTube blogs, webinars, testimonials, case studies and even your own online courses. We help you figure out the right types of video for your business – not just follow trends for the sake of it.

Not at all. You can do everything we teach using just your phone and free editing tools.
But it’s not just for phone users – everything inside the Academy is useful whether you’re filming on your phone or using a professional camera setup. We’ll meet you where you’re at and show you how to get the best results with the gear you’ve got.
If you do fancy upgrading later, we’ll show you exactly what to buy (and what’s a waste of money).

No worries! You don’t need experience – just a willingness to learn and take action.
The Academy is beginner-friendly but designed to grow with you. Follow simple steps, use ready-made templates, and get expert support as you go. You’ll always know what to do next.

Not at all. Lots of our members never go on camera – and still get great results.
We’ll show you how to use screen recordings, animations, voiceovers – whatever works for you. And if you do want to try filming yourself, we’ve got pros on hand to help you feel confident and look the part.

Pretty fast, hopefully! As soon as you join, we recommend sending us one of your videos so you can get personalised feedback in a Spotlight Session. That way, we can give you guidance from the start.
We’ll help you get going quickly – but remember, you’ll need to put in the work too. This is for doers, not daydreamers!

Yeah, we get that. There’s a lot you can do in the Academy.
That’s why it’s built like a pick and mix. You don’t have to do everything at once. Dip into the training, use the templates, book a filming session or chat to the community. Whatever works for you, it’s all there – ready when you are.

Absolutely. In fact, the Academy will help you get even more from your freelancer or agency. You’ll learn how to write better briefs, ask the right questions, and handle some of the smaller video tasks yourself – saving you time and budget. We’re not here to replace your team – we’re here to help you work smarter alongside them.

The Academy is built around individual progress – including course access, personal feedback and one-to-one support. So accounts are designed for single users. However, if you’d like access for multiple team members, we do offer bulk discounts. Just drop us a message and we’ll work something out that suits your setup.

Not at all – you can join from anywhere in the world. You’ll get full access to the training, tools, community and support, no matter where you’re based. The only part that’s UK-based is the in-person filming sessions – but even if you can’t attend those, there’s still plenty of hands-on value in every other part of the Academy.

Yes! Everything in the Video Made Simple Academy comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you’ve gone through the course in full and you’re not completely happy, you can get a refund – no questions asked! You’ve got nothing to lose.

As soon as you sign up, you’ll get instant access to the Academy portal. You can browse the content, explore the tools and get a feel for what’s available. But don’t worry – you won’t be left to figure it all out alone. You’ll get a welcome email to guide you through your first steps, plus a suggested path based on your goals. We’ll also invite you to send in a video for feedback and jump on the next office hours call to get started.

Secure your spot now on the Video Made Simple Academy waitlist.

Along with your free resource, I’ll send you weekly tips, strategies and behind-the-scenes insights to make better videos for your business. No spam, just useful stuff. I’ll always respect your privacy and your data – see our Privacy Policy.
