Honor Your Family By Making Your Own Family Legacy Videos

Some people are fortunate enough be able to commission beautiful video biographies of family members, to be handed down and cherished for generations. But, the process is long and expensive. Not everyone can afford a video biography done by a professional.

The typical Family Legacy Video is a very expensive investment, running into the thousands of dollars. The good news is that, even Hopelessly Busy People Can Make a Family Legacy Video in a Few Weekends and For Very Little Cost. It always breaks my heart when I see families with elders who have wonderful, important stories to tell, but they never get recorded or preserved because the family either can't afford to have it done, or they just don't know what to do.

That's why I decided to develop this course: to show you how to do it yourself, and to do it quickly at very little cost. I lead you through the process step-by-step. I'll take you from the initial idea, to getting your family member to sit in front of your camera, setting up your video shoot, getting good quality video, sound, and lighting, editing, and finally, turning the project into a polished DVD as a gift for the entire family, both now and for generations to come.
