ZMATRYCY · Practical filmmaking training
Learn to film your product, service or passion with confidence. I provide one-to-one filmmaking training with travel to your location in Wrocław. I will help you understand your camera, lighting, sound and framing in the conditions where you actually create.
You work directly with me, using your own equipment and examples suited to your goals. Start with the basics or focus on a problem that is holding back your filming.
One-to-one training • At your location • A programme suited to your level • Sessions in Polish or English
I trained Kasia, an employee of MyBed in Wrocław, in gimbal operation and framing. The exercises took place in the showroom, using the products the company presents to its customers. The session focused on camera movement and filming a bed and its details.
This is how I relate training to a real task. If you want to present products, the exercises can focus on product shots. If you film services or your own interests, I can build the programme around them.
Watch the training behind the scenes and the product films I made for MyBed.
Do you own a camera but still choose settings through trial and error? I will explain the key functions and show you how they affect the image. You will practise preparing the camera, setting focus and controlling exposure.
Do you want to show yourself, your training, work or interests more clearly? I will help you plan a short recording, choose shots and capture clear speech. The focus is on material that makes sense for your audience.
If you know the basics, the programme can focus on lighting, camera movement, product shots or organising a shoot. I will discuss situations from your work and demonstrate solutions during exercises.
Need to train several colleagues? I can prepare a separate programme for your team. Explore filmmaking training for companies.
Being able to film independently gives you more freedom. You can show a new product, answer a customer's question or capture an interesting moment as it happens. Explaining your work becomes easier when you know how to prepare the picture and sound.
Progress often begins with small changes: positioning someone better by a window, checking the microphone or recording a missing detail. Deliberate decisions during filming can reduce retakes and give you more options when editing.
In a one-to-one session I can see where a problem in your recording comes from. I will demonstrate an adjustment, explain why it helps and give you time to practise it yourself. You learn a way of working that you can use again on your next film.
The skill is useful both professionally and personally. You can apply it to a personal brand, documenting a hobby, creating content for your own company or developing your work as a filmmaker.
I will agree the scope with you before we meet. The modules below are starting points for your programme. The number of topics and practice time will depend on the package you choose.
Understand the relationship between aperture, shutter speed and ISO. I will explain frame rate, white balance, focus and image profiles in relation to your recording and the work you plan to do afterwards.
Practise choosing shot sizes, perspective and backgrounds. I will show you how to plan wide shots, close-ups and details so you can connect the material into a clear story.
Learn how to use available light and position the lights you have. I will demonstrate lighting for faces or products, shadows and the effect of the background on the image.
I will help you set up a microphone, check levels and notice problems while you are still recording. You will practise checking sound in your own working environment.
Where this suits your equipment and goals, I will demonstrate gimbal preparation, camera handling and planning movement. You will learn to choose stabilisation that fits the shot.
I will show you how to record with the sequence of scenes and supporting shots in mind. If you want to combine filming with DaVinci Resolve editing, I can include it within the agreed training time. If editing is your main goal, see live DaVinci Resolve training.
Training can take place at your business, showroom, treatment room or another agreed location. You practise with the equipment and space that will be available for your future recordings.
Before the session I will discuss the space, lighting, noise and subject of the exercises. If filming involves other people or your own client, I will agree the arrangements with you beforehand.
I do not run a permanent training studio in Wrocław. I travel for agreed sessions. Alternatively, I can welcome you to my home studio in Zielona Góra, where you can also work with my equipment.
My name is Paweł Niedźwiedź and I work as ZMATRYCY. I produce video and teach filmmaking and DaVinci Resolve editing. My work includes products, services, sport and content for social media.
During training I draw on experience from shoots: preparing a frame, setting up light, recording sound and gathering the shots needed for an edit. I explain why I choose a solution and when another approach may be more useful.
I lead the sessions personally. You can ask questions as they arise, repeat an exercise and work through a topic at your own pace. See my work.

Choosing a package
One day lets you focus on selected basics or a particular problem. Two days provide more room for practice, review and another attempt. Three days allow work across more scenarios. I will agree the exact programme and schedule with you before booking.
What the price covers
These are total prices for individual training for one person. During the sessions I demonstrate solutions, guide exercises and review your recordings. I adapt the programme to your level and goals.
Travel and accommodation
For training in Wrocław, travel and any necessary accommodation are added to the package price. I will agree the complete amount with you before confirming the date and taking payment.
Company training
A workshop for several employees is quoted individually, based on the participants, equipment, programme and training time. The one-to-one prices above apply to one person.
Yes. I can begin with camera operation and simple exercises. Before we meet I will establish your level so the programme is suitable and does not repeat skills you already have.
For training at your location, it is best to use the equipment you will work with afterwards. If you do not own a camera, tell me before booking. I will discuss the options; training with my equipment in Zielona Góra is an alternative.
Yes. You can practise planning, equipment setup and filming the shots you need. I will adapt the scope to your materials and the time available.
The purpose is learning and hands-on practice by the participant. A finished film produced by ZMATRYCY is a separate service. If that is what you need, ask me about video production in Wrocław.
Yes. I will agree how to divide the time between recording and DaVinci Resolve. For a wider programme I will suggest a package that leaves enough time for practice.
Polish or English. I will agree the training language with you during our first conversation.
