Training and online video productions

Smartphone Video Specialist

I use my smartphone to make professional videos for television, online and social media. Since 2014, I also provide trainings to teach others this skill. The videos are of such high TV-quality (HD), they can easily be broadcasted. Creating videos with your smartphone is quick and easy to learn, but I believe the biggest advantage is that being filmed with a smartphone is non-intimidating, resulting in footage of people that are visibly at ease.

Geertje Algera Media ā€“ Who am I

Carola_Doornbos_Fotografie--4

My roots lie in a rural community in Friesland, in the north of the Netherlands. At 17, I went to the United States of America as an exchange student. Upon my return, I studied Journalism in Utrecht and Cultural Anthropology in Amsterdam.

For have 14 years of experience working for Dutch Public Television station KRO-NCRV. As director, camera journalist and as mobile journalist.
As Iā€™m curious by nature, Iā€™m interested in lots of different things. Iā€™m especially fascinated in the life choices people make and in peopleā€™s feelings. Also, Iā€™ve been an early adopter of social media.

In 2014, I discovered I could make use my iPhone to make reports for TV. Soon after, I became the first MoJo (Mobile Journalist) for the Dutch Public TV. You could say I found my mojo.
The next two years, I devoted my life to making iPhone reports for the worlds of online and television. In 2016, I started my very own company. I see it as my mission to teach people and organizations in telling stories through their smartphone.

I always aim to make videos that cater to a broad audience. Smartphone video is for everybody! I work inclusive and like to connect people. Also: Diversity rules! Thatā€™s why I truly believe a video is more successful when it shows a lot of diversity.

In 2020 I was named one of the world's leading mobile journalists by Michigan State University School of Journalism.
