Are simple to make and don’t require fancy tech
(Really! All you need to start is the smartphone in your pocket)
Share valuable glimpses into your world as an artist
(By giving your audience a candid look at the story behind your art, and the heart and soul behind each piece)
Fit seamlessly into your creative process
(Because you can just hit record and capture your art as it naturally unfolds)
Act as a simple entry point for the right audiences to discover your work
(AKA collectors, curators, and art-lovers who are ready to invest)
Can easily be shared on your favorite social platform
(Like Instagram Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts!)
Cultivates a connection that leaves your audience wanting more
(Which naturally leads to more followers, subscribers, and art flying off your shelves!)
You can’t help overthinking every part of the process ― from figuring out *what* to film, what to say, and how to make your space look like a professional studio instead of a creative explosion.
The moment you hit record, you feel super self-conscious in front of the camera ― and all you can think about is “Is my hair ok?” and “Is this the right angle?”
You want your videos to portray you as the professional artist you are ― but right now?
Everything you record looks amateurish, and there’s absolutely no way you’re putting out a less-than-perfect video on the internet.
Plus, you really don’t have time to scan the internet and watch hours of videos to figure out what buttons to press.
And the thought of diverting precious time *away* from your art to create videos that may not get the attention it deserves feels as appealing as painting with oven mitts on.
If only you had a guide who could turn the process of making mini art videos from a daunting task into something quick, enjoyable, and a natural extension of your art-making…
Professional filmmaker, Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast, and your dedicated guide when it comes to all things art videos!
My journey with mini art videos began quite by accident.
Back in 2009, I started making a documentary video series called Beyond the Gallery to celebrate creativity and the amazing humans behind the art.
(It was even nominated for Best Documentary Web Series by the International Academy of Web Television!)
But the truly exciting part came after that.
While filming season 2, I turned the leftover footage into insightful short “extras” to draw my audience deeper into the lives of the artists we featured.
It didn’t take a ton of extra effort to make…
But I saw how they left a profound impact on the audience.
Rather than observing a static piece of artwork, the audience got to see a glimpse into the artist’s world ― from the details and techniques that shaped each piece, all the way to a peek inside the artist’s studio.
After seeing the power of these short, valuable videos, it got me thinking:
Why not teach artists a simple, no-fuss way to create their own short videos
Videos that not only showcase their art but attract more of the right audience to connect with their story and invest in their work?
From there, Mini Art Videos was born!
8 years on, I’ve guided hundreds of artists to learn a simple way to make their own mini art videos using just their smartphones.
Because here's the thing…
Your art is incredible.
But the stories, the emotions, the passion behind each piece?
That's what makes you unique.
And it's high time the world sees you as the ambitious artist you are!

"My confidence in videoing my art has increased with time and experience doing it and the workshop helped me take the first step. Now my art is my full-time job!
Beforehand, my biggest challenge was low confidence in my ability to film something that was high enough quality to post. I really dragged my feet with video content—something that eventually put my art business on the map—because I didn’t even know where to begin.
The workshop simplified some things I was overthinking. All of the questions I had have really straightforward solutions. I also loved Zach’s focus on filming a finished piece more so than just a sped-up process video that underemphasizes how much time and effort go into a piece.
The workshop really helped to give concrete examples of some shots to take. Zach’s informal & accessible approach to this is SO helpful! Hearing Zach’s voice in my head reminding me to stop and film and then taking a few quick shots of my current work.”
"Making Mini Art Videos has become like second nature now!
Zach made me feel like I was on the right track with my mini art videos.
The workshop was set up really well and has very simple, step by step instructions that were easy to follow.
I liked that you didn't have to go out and buy all this equipment. You can just start off with your phone and he would just give you easy tips on how to make the process better ― like where do I find the right music. I never felt 'oh I'm not gonna be able to do that.'
He made it easy, doable, and I was like oh I can do this!
Since taking the workshop, I'm easily able to put multiple little videos together to make one video. I'm more comfortable in the studio and making videos has almost become like second nature now!"

"Zach is a professional and caring video champion who is trustworthy.
Beforehand, I struggled with lack of confidence when it came to videos.
After the workshop, I realized that video making doesn’t have to be complicated and people do want to see the finished art and/or art process. I also appreciated the tech tools.
I am starting to realize that pairing video with still photography is more powerful than just photos alone. For that reason, it is important to add it to the flow of what it takes to create a piece of art."
"It changed my perception of not taking everything seriously and to let go.
I joined because I just needed a formula and a system I'm able to do over and over again.
My main challenge was thinking that I needed a new camera or new phone to capture my art process. But the workshop changed my perception of not taking everything seriously and to let go.
The workshop was straightforward and to the point. Now my videos look like TikTok art videos."
