DIY Video Production Guide (Version 2.0)
Learn how to shoot better videos by yourself.
10+ Hours of video lessons

What You’ll Learn:
There are so many different places you could start when you want to learn to make better videos. Trying to figure out where to begin is nearly impossible because there is so much to learn.
Trust me, I’ve been there. I’ve spent countless hours watching endless tutorials to make my videos better and that is why I put this together.
There are plenty of excuses for not making videos, but “know-how” shouldn’t be one of them.

This course covers:
What camera, lens, lighting, microphones, and recorders are best
How to set-up 3-point lighting, white balance, and soften shadows
How to get clean audio from any kind of microphone with no echo or noise
What to do while shooting to save hours editing it later
How to plan your videos, script them out, and deliver them naturally

Master Class

This is everything I wish I knew when I started making videos. Through 50 video lessons I share every step of my process for filming a video. This course covers the first steps of scripting and planning videos all the way to off-loading your memory cards. It starts with gear recommendations like choosing cameras, lens, microphones, and lighting. You’ll also learn how to set up a video studio with multiple lighting techniques, plan your b-roll, use a green screen, choose a microphone, reducing echo, shoot with multiple angles, deliver a script with or without a teleprompter, and more.
