Event Details

Participants will learn how video engages viewers and brings family history to life. A short video about an ancestor’s story can help share genealogy research with family members who may not be “genealogically inclined.”

Topics covered include:

• how to quickly brainstorm ancestor story ideas,
• storyboarding a video using available images,
• sources of public domain images to augment your story
• putting together a finished video using free or low-cost editing tools,
• ways to share videos with family members and encourage dialog
