Hey my name is Ezra Cohen...

BUT I'M NOT AN ANIMATOR...

The biggest misconception about tour visuals…is that without years of experience as an animator or 3D composer, it’s impossible to get started.

Well, the crazy truth is - YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A PRO ANIMATOR TO CREATE STUNNING TOUR VISUALS and one-of-a-kind textures.

When you understand how to approach the process, you can quickly master the art of creating unforgettable moments in concert environments, films, and more - all from the comfort and familiarity of programs like Adobe Premiere or FCPX.

ABSTRACT PROJECTS = YOU WIN

I’ve been a professional filmmaker for over 10 years. And for the past 3.5 years I’ve had the incredible opportunity of working as a professional live tour visuals designer - crafting visual experiences used on world tours by artists including Anderson Paak, Toby Mac, Kari Jobe, Hillsong, and many more.

Tour visuals are abstract. They’re completely subjective. You know what that means? YOU WIN.

No more dealing with clients worried about how their hair looks on camera… or if you can shoot their $200 budget video on a RED…

In fact, 90% of the time I don’t even have 1 round of revisions. And I can make close to $2000 for around 5 hours of experimenting on my laptop.

And now I want to share some of the amazingly simple tips and tricks I’ve learned that have helped me land incredible bucket list jobs with some of my favorite artists.

ADD VISUAL INTRICACY TO
ALL YOUR PROJECTS

THE BEST PART of all this is that these concepts and techniques apply to all types of projects - allowing you to add visual intricacy to your films no matter the genre. They’ve personally helped me strengthen my unique voice as a filmmaker, allowing me to stand out from the crowd and grow my business and my career.

I use these techniques daily - whether I’m editing documentaries, commercials, music videos, title sequences, or any other type of project! (See my reel for proof)

Don’t miss out on this exclusive peek behind the curtain. These are not the lessons you’ll find for free on Youtube.
