Create your own biographical video presentation to share with friends and family at Celebration of Life events as well as birthdays, anniversaries, and family reunions. Destined to become a family heirloom, your video tells the story of your loved one the way only you can tell it.
Our online workshop provides an easy to follow process that guides you through all the steps: from laying out the story narrative; to preparing photos, film, and video; to editing the video presentation; and even to hosting and sharing it with family and friends.
The result is your own unique Celebration of Life presentation – not a cookie cutter template you simply dump photos into. It takes a little effort on your part, but as most of our customers say “It was a labor of love… and the effort was worth it”. Even if you have never before used a video editing application, you will be amazed at the professional results you can achieve.
Perhaps the most important part of our online workshop is the guide to telling your story. Not only does the workshop provide a general approach with a subject outline, it asks many questions to get you on your way quickly and to encourage creativity as you develop your story line.
A good story moves beyond the chronological facts like dates and events. It engages the viewer through emotional connection. Our workshop helps you to focus on the motivations and connections your loved one established: the core elements that new generations can benefit from. The heart of the story.
If your loved one has passed recently, this is perhaps the most emotionally charged and stressful type of presentation to create. However, the process of honoring your loved one can be cathartic and healing as well.
A presentation celebrating a loved one at a special gathering is a great gift to them, and to friends and family as well. It allows you to express your feelings directly. It also allows you to include your loved one into your presentation: a unique perspective for posterity.
How would you like to be remembered? You can tell your story from your own first person perspective; and pass along your thoughts, hopes, and advice for future generations. This is a great exercise in defining your own legacy.
Rather than provide you with a single workshop; your one year membership provides access to 3 workshops – one for each type of presentation – each tailored to help you create your own Celebration of Life presentation.
When confronted with the need to create a Celebration of Life presentation, we most often turn to a slide presentation tool such as Microsoft Powerpoint, Google Slides, or Apple Keynote. These tools are designed to support a live presenter guiding their audience through their presentation – usually in a business context.
Our approach is to create a video presentation. Video offers great flexibility in presenting both moving and still images as well as powerful soundtrack capabilities. It also makes sharing your presentation easy and convenient.
Never used a computer video editor before? No worries. Our workshop guides you through the entire process using a free video editor application that runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. If you already have a favorite video editing application – great. Use it.
Our workshop focuses on how to use editing techniques to tell your story – regardless of the tool you choose.
