Record Your Art to Spotlight
Record a finished piece in three shots, in one live hour together. Bring one finished artwork, your phone, and a tripod (or a mug). For artists with finished work they haven't shown the way they'd like on video.
EARLY BIRD THROUGH NOV 16th, THEN $99
Finish a piece, take a photo, post it once, and that's it?
Tried filming your finished work, and it never looked like it does in person?
Not sure how to record it at all, so you skip it and move on to the next piece?
During this Record Your Art to Spotlight workshop, you will:
Learn the three-shot finished work recipe, a streamlined version of how I filmed finished artworks with artists for Beyond the Gallery
Set up your artwork near good light and your phone on a tripod, so the small decisions are made once and before you press record
See the four things that usually go wrong when artists film finished work, and the one fix for all four: Holding your shots
Record the reveal, the detail, and the in-context shots of your piece, one at a time, on a timer with the group of us, while each demo loops on screen for your reference
Write the first line of your caption, the one that invites your people to take the next step, like asking about this finished artwork or to sign up for early access to a collection
You'll leave with:
Your finished piece captured in three video clips, so you have the art footage ready to edit and share whenever you're ready to offer it for sale
The first line of your caption, written in your own words
The three-shot finished work recipe, to use for every piece after this one
Access to the workshop replay, edited into bite-size lessons and loaded into the learning portal

Record Your Art to Spotlight
If your finished work has been getting one photo to share, bring a piece and we'll change that together.

Record Your Art to Spotlight is the fourth and final workshop in the series. Each one takes one part of the recording process and adds purpose so that it serves your art business. Take all four with the Series Pass for $299 USD, with instant access to the first three replays so you can start today:
Workshop 1. Record Your Art with Purpose (replay included with the pass). The overview. Give your art footage a job, starting the moment you record, sorted by three intentions.
Workshop 2. Record Your Art to Immerse (replay included with the pass). Five immersive moments in your studio to record that pull someone new into your world.
Workshop 3. Record Your Art to Connect (replay included with the pass). Three things you can talk about on camera, and your first take recorded.
Workshop 4. Record Your Art to Spotlight (this one, November 19). Your finished artwork captured in three video clips, and the written line that invites people in to take the next step.
*BONUS: Personalized Spotlight Footage Review.* You'll send me the three clips you record in the workshop, and I'll reply with a recorded video walkthrough of your footage: what's working, and what to adjust. Clips in by Monday, November 30.

Hi 👋 it's Zach.
I'm a filmmaker, artist, and art video coach.
I've spent 19 years in artists' studios with my camera, filming them at work and shaping that footage into their stories for Beyond the Gallery (my artist interview series nominated for Best Docu Series by the International Academy of Web Television) and for private clients.
Most of those stories needed the finished work captured. I came to think of it like punctuation in a sentence. If people have seen glimpses of your process, your hands, your studio, and hearing you talk about what you're making, then the finished piece is the period (or exclamation point) at the end of the sentence that is the work in progress. It grounds all the making that came before it.
How I filmed finished work depended largely on the artist. The three-shot finished work recipe that I give you is the streamlined version of what held true across them. Three shots, in order, with the decisions already made for you so you can move forward.
Because here's what I see most. An artist finishes a piece, photographs it, posts it once, and moves on. When she tries to record it, it either doesn't look right, or she isn't sure where to start, and there are so many small decisions that it feels easier to skip.
Record Your Art to Spotlight is one calm hour where we take that off your list. You bring the piece. I'll walk you through each shot, and we'll record them together so it's done.
I help artists use simple art videos in their art business without sacrificing studio time. This workshop closes the Record Your Art workshop series, with the piece every bit of process footage has been building toward.
