How do you communicate what you hold dear to your heart? You've been taking pictures for years--of birthday parties, graduations, sunsets. Should you create a video instead?
What does a still-photo video require? Should you start by writing a script or wait to see how elements come together? How do you weave interviews and music into the script? What equipment will you need? Who do you want to share your video with? Michael Collier will share his experiences and offer his guidance!
Michael has been a photographer for sixty years. He's also been a Grand Canyon boatman, a pilot, an NAU geologist, and a physician.
