14 Day Filmmaker Review – Can You Make Money Filmmaking?

14 Day Filmmaker is a training course on creating video content, or rather, filmmaking. Whether you want to think about starting your own YouTube video or create your own videography business, this course might be for you. 

The man behind 14 Day Filmmaker is Paul Xavier, who like most of us, dreaded going to his 9 to 5 job. Eventually he created his own film-making business and created commercial campaigns for different businesses. 

He then moved on to teaching entrepreneurs how to create film and videos for their videos. This course was called Next Level Creators. He claimed that he’s helped 4 people become millionaires and a few others hit six-figure incomes through his course. 

He seems like a legitimate expert in online entrepreneurship and video content creation.

When marketing 14 Day Filmmaker and Next Level Creators, he avoids making false promises, which is a good thing. He’s a millionaire but you wouldn’t know it just by looking at his Instagram or YouTube channel.

14 Day Filmmaker is a course that will teach you about video content creation. You’ll learn about how to shoot videos, films, and all aspects of video content. 

This is great for people who wants to learn how to shoot commercials, or start their own YouTube channel. 

But there’s one caveat: this is solely about creating videos. There’s no lesson here about marketing the business. 

The point of video content creation is to make money with it, at least that’s the half of it. 14 Day Filmmaker just gives you the first half, which is creating videos. 

The modules are short and distributed into 14 different days. Sadly, we couldn’t get enough information on what these modules can provide you with, but the titles are self-explanatory:

• Day 1: Fundamentals, Gear And Camera Settings

• Day 2: Focal Lengths And Lenses

• Day 3: Composition

• Day 4: Cinematic Movements

• Day 5: Lighting 

• Day 6: Sound Design

• Day 7: File Management + Intro To Editing

• Day 8: Professional Editing Walkthrough

• Day 9: Intro To After Effects

• Day 10: Virtual Job Shadows

• Day 11: Scriptwriting And Using A Storyboard

• Day 12: Shoot Your Commercial

• Day 13: Edit Your Commercial

• Day 14: Organic Distribution

Judging by the titles of the modules alone, it’s clear that there’s some decent training to be had here. It covers enough of the basics to help you transition into the advanced aspects of video content creation. 

How Much Does It Cost?

14 Day Filmmaker will only cost you $48, and that’s cheap for what you’re actually getting. Paul is an expert in this field, so you’ll learn a lot from this course. 

But $48 isn’t the final price as Paul mentioned in the landing page that he’ll be bumping up the price to $198. We don’t know when he’s doing that, or if he’s even doing it for that matter. For all we know, it might just be a sales trick to get you to purchase 14 Day Filmmaker. But $198 is still a good price for this course, to be honest. 

How Much Do I Need To Get Started?

Well this course is more than capable of giving you a headstart in your video creation business. But that’s just one foot in the door. To really get into the business, you need to invest in the video equipment. We’re talking about using high-end cameras that cost close to $10,000. Not to mention you’ll be using lens that’ll probably be a lot more expensive than the camera itself. 

A good editing software would cost you at least a hundred bucks. Lighting equipment would cost a few hundred bucks too. 

In the end, setting up the business will cost you a few thousand dollars. The better your equipment is, the better the quality of the videos or images you take.

14 Day Filmmaker is meant for people who want to start their video content creation business. But it’s highly recommended that these people who are interested in taking up this course have the necessary equipment already. 

#1 No Refunds!

While not an expensive course, it doesn’t really do anyone any good that there’s no refund policy in place. Legitimate training courses almost always have a refund policy of sorts, no matter the price tag. 

Of course, we’re not implying that the absence of a refund policy would make 14 Day Filmmaker a scam. It would probably be a good sales point to have. 

#2 No Marketing

The course is simply about content creation. You’re learning about how to make great videos professionally, but it doesn’t come with marketing lessons or how to grow the business. 

You’d need to take a separate course or two if you want to scale the business and if you want to make money out of it.

#1 Decent Training

Paul’s made quite a career in video creation, shooting commercials, and more, so you can expect to get quality training in those aspects here. 

The modules are split between covering the basics and then transitioning into the advanced concepts. 

#2 Inexpensive

14 Day Filmmaker is inexpensive, regardless if you pay $48 or the $198 soon-to-be price. With point #1 above, you’re getting the bang for your buck. But again, you’re only getting the video creation part of the business. You’d need to enrol in another course or two to learn how to market and grow your business.

14 Day Filmmaker is a great training course if you plan on becoming a full-time professional videographer. Paul has made a name for himself in the industry, so you can expect some quality training here and there. 

The only downside to this course is that it’s only focused on the content creation part of things. It doesn’t really teach you how to set up your own business, so you might want to enrol in another course that helps you do that. We don’t know if Paul’s other course can help you with that.
