Lights, Camera, Action: Video Content for About.com

 Santos arrives at my studio with a ton o' gear.
 
See Santos prepare for the shoot. 

See me seeing Santos as Santos sees me.

See me looking nothing less than awkward on set!

On Monday we shot five "How to..." Videos for About.com
The videos are required to be 3 minutes or less.  I was booked to cover the following topics:
Fabric Painting Techniques
Acrylic Painting Techniques
Watercolor Painting Techniques
Drawing Techniques
Giclee

 Let me say that this is not an easy task.  Trying to demo and discuss these mediums in the time allotted is "insane in the membrane!"  Too much material in too little time.  Thanks to the world's greatest producer Santos, the job was accomplished.  If you ever need an artful eye, photographer, or video director he is your guy.  He is extremely professional and easy to work with.  His production company is called CANDY LOOP PRODUCTIONS 
  I haven't been in front of the camera in two years and the format has changed completely since my last shoot.  Santos was exceptional.  He was kind and walked me through the entire process.  I hope that he got the footage he needed and that About.com is happy with the content.
I'm just thankful that it is over and I can return to painting.
