“Photos are no longer enough to grab attention on social media. I see this clearly—my clips get much more reach and visibility than static images.”

Those video clips have seen content creator Arnulfur Hakonarson, better known online as That Icelandic Guy, work with brands like Sony, Huawei, and Epidemic Sound, and grow impressive communities on TikTok and Instagram.

In this online course, he teaches you how to design, shoot, and edit vertical videos for social media, using mainly a smartphone. Learn about the importance of this type of content, as well as how to film and edit from start to finish using different software. Enhance your content with engaging vertical videos.

This is Arnulfur’s second Domestika course. In his first, Introduction to TikTok for Creatives , he shares the secrets of creating engaging content to gain followers and grow your brand.
