Hand-Crafted Curriculum with Proven Results

Your Instructor
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
Who is this course for?
Beginner and intermediate video creators. Anyone who needs to show up on camera and doesn't have a $200k budget to hire a production team to do everything for them.
If any of the following applies to you, then you're an especially good fit for this course: (1) "I know a good-looking studio when I see one, but don't have any idea how to get there." (2) "I did some research on my own, but if I'm honest... I'm still not fully confident that I can achieve my desired studio results on my own yet." (3) "I don't have time to research all this on my own. I would prefer that someone gave me the answers - told me where to place everything & what settings to use."
Can't I just learn all this on the internet for free?
Yes, you absolutely can, but it will require many weeks or months of research and self experimentation. Most of the free information online is quite scattered and non-specific.
I've worked with many others just like you to achieve results, and their specific questions have informed the creation of this course. In the course, I explain specific applications and answers that you won't find elsewhere online. That's because this course is specifically designed to give you studio results and is not intended to be yet another generic videography class that are a dime a dozen on the internet. In the course, you will find everything you need to know as actionable steps you can take right away.
When does the course start and finish?
The course starts now and never ends! This is a completely self-paced online course. You decide when you start and when you finish. All video lessons are professionally pre-recorded, and all the included resources have been created for you ahead of time.
How long do I have access to the course?
With a one-time lifetime purchase you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own. You'll also get lifetime access to any and all future updates to this course.
What if I don't like the course?
If you aren't 100% happy with the course for ANY reason, simply email me within 30 days of purchase, to request a full refund. This course has proven itself over and over again with past students (see all the testimonials above).
If you are serious about creating better videos, I'm confident this course will help you get results.
More Praise From Past Students
"I feel like you've put so much effort into this. Far more than any course I've purchased before (including many $2k+ courses) - your delivery is kind and genuine. It feels like you really want your students to succeed; like you're on my side. The diagrams and explanations are crystal clear and straight to the point. You've given me a great introduction to the fundamentals without getting bogged down in unnecessary details. Great job, you nailed it!"
