Story Matters: Creating Your Own Impact Videos
Wednesday, April 10, 2013
Session Description
Storytelling is arguably the most powerful form of communication we have as humans. Video and all forms of digital media are exploding as a vehicle to transmit stories, messages and results in the non-profit and social entrepreneurial space. Delivery platforms such as YouTube and inexpensive technology such as flip cams and mobile phones make the creation, production and delivery of content much more accessible and manageable than ever before. Yet, creating and producing videos can still feel intimidating to many. Join us to demystify the process and to learn how to craft your messages with the goal of being consumed more effectively by your target audiences.
