"Kevin’s course is so valuable for anyone who’s on camera... It’s really everything you need to know for you and your studio to look and sound great."
Tiago Forte
AUTHOR, COURSE CREATOR
"Video creation is no longer the domain of specialized professionals. It's a basic part of digital life for anyone who wants others to perceive them professionally, listen to them as an expert, and connect with their ideas. You simply can't afford to leave how you communicate virtually up to chance."
Raye Cheng
YOUTUBE CREATOR, COACH

"I feel like you've put so much effort into this. Far more than any course I've purchased before. Your delivery is kind and genuine. It feels like you really want your students to succeed; like you're on my side."

Kevin Shen
My life mission is to help us connect in deeper human ways. Your audience needs you in ways that only you can show up for them. And I'm here to help you do that.
I started creating videos online over a decade ago. The fact that we can connect over thousands of miles through the screen still blows my mind. The power of video to have a profound impact on so many people is one that text, photos, and even face-to-face can't even compare to in many ways.
I’m here to give you the tools to express yourself and your brand through video because you and your brand have a message worth sharing.
Much love, my friends. See you in the course!

Frequently Asked Questions
➤ Can't I learn all this for free on YouTube?
As you've probably experienced, most free information online is quite scattered and non-specific. And most of all, you have no way to ask your specific questions. And that's the problem. Building your studio, in your unique floor plan, with your unique branding needs, to fit your unique on-camera appearance, etc... requires unique guidance. That's why the Dream Studio Course, is specifically designed to get you results in YOUR specific situation - something you just cannot get from passively watching hours of YouTube videos.
Unless you purchase the Lite version of the course (which is entirely self-serve), you'll get feedback and access to expert guidance to get the results you're after. This is not just another generic videography class.
