Make Movies

I want to make more movies.

Want to play?

I have been making videos for the past fifteen years—with kids at a summer camp, for local film festivals and contests, with friends, with my nephews and nieces, for my college TV news program, etc. I’d like to start having movies be a part of my paid work in the world. Here are the kinds of movies I’d like to make more of and some “introductory offers”:

Videos That Illustrate Nonprofit Programming

The story of your program or organization can be demonstrated in a video in ways no brochure or talk can. Videos are an essential part of organizational web sites, outreach, fundraising, evaluation, and as a way to celebrate your accomplishments.

Basic Package: Three hours planning with you, three hours video taping, five hours editing, and a copy of the video on DVD and on the Internet. Estimated video length: 5-15 minutes.

Video Biography

Would you like to have a well-made movie about the life and story of a family member, colleague, friend, or yourself? I’ll interview that person, activities from their life, and other people to make a movie that shows their story in a quick-paced and engaging way. This can be a great way to keep family stories alive for generations.

Basic package: One hour planning with you, two hours videotaping, two hours editing, and one copy of a DVD or VHS tape for you. Estimated video length of the edited video: 15 minutes. All video footage will also be provided.

Create a Movie with Kids

Give me a group of kids for a couple hours, and together we’ll come up with a story for a movie that the kids will act out. This could be an activity for a party, or just a special time for your kids. I will edit the movie and add music, and your kids will be the stars of a short, professional-looking movie. I will provide copies of the movie on DVD and VHS. 

Basic package: Two hours making a story and movie with a group of kids, two hours editing, and one copy of a DVD or VHS tape for you. Estimated video length: 5-10 minutes.

Do you have other ideas for making fun, creative videos? Want to make your hours of home movies into something short that the neighbors would watch? Want to tell some story from your life or imagination in a movie? I’d be glad to talk about how we could make that happen.
