Disguise training · Thu 27 August
Three shows.One day.
For intermediate and advanced Disguise users who are tired of finding the gaps in their own workflow at 4pm on show day. Build three complete show files, and learn the fixes that only ever show up on site.
One room, one instructor, three builds — capacity is deliberately small.

Who's running it
Taught by people who do this for a living
Rich Porter
Lead instructor
20 years as a media server programmer, with 15 years specialising in Disguise.
- Hosted at Milkit Studio
- A working North London studio, not a hotel meeting room. You build on real kit in a room set up for it.
- Independent and experience-led
- We don't teach from a vendor curriculum. The day is built around shows we've actually delivered, so you get the judgement calls, the shortcuts and the instincts that only come from doing it for real.
- You've probably already learned from us
- The tutorials and teardowns on our YouTube channel are free and always will be. This is the version where you're in the room and it's your show file.
How the day runs
Three shows, start to finish
Not a feature-by-feature tour of Designer. You build complete show files, and we work through the decisions, the shortcuts and the failure modes that only ever come up when a room is waiting for you.
- 09:30
Corporate production
Build a complete corporate show from scratch — the workflows used for conferences, product launches and keynotes.
- 13:30
Music production
Programme a live music show: timelines, playback strategies and the techniques touring productions rely on.
- 15:30
Experiential production
Build an immersive project — mapping workflows, interactive environments and non-traditional display surfaces.
18:00 onwards
Then the pub bit
Stay for a drink. A room full of working Disguise operators in one place is rare, and more work comes out of those conversations than out of any job board.
You leave with three complete project files, workflows you can use on Monday, and the confidence to take on the kind of show you'd have turned down last month.

Built on integrity, fuelled by creativity, driven by collaboration
Hive School is where real experience shapes real growth.
- Integrity
- We teach what we actually use, on the shows we actually work on. Experience first, never a sales pitch.
- Creativity
- Technique in service of the work, not technique for its own sake.
- Collaboration
- You learn faster in a room full of people solving the same problem.
Stay in the loop
