Your Story Videos
Your video will create more interest when constructed
as a story with (a) a hook or opening action sequence,
(b) a main character, (c) a goal,
(d) relationships and conflict, and (e) outcome.
I am an experienced video producer
that can join with you in telling your story about
an aspect of your life:
your wedding,
your business,
bed and breakfast, party, school, or charitable work.
My goal is to make interesting video that will:

- attract a wide audience,
- sustain interest,
- generate enthusiastic response, and
- provide good examples of my work.

The Toy Shop Christmas Toys Video
I was very happy with this video because it is the
story of a person excited about a year-end celebration
who is working to bring that excitement to others.
Working with her, I was able to bring out 3 goals:
- Help volunteers feel the spirit earlier,
- Help people with different traditions participate, and
- Join with mom in picking toys for kids.
The Families and Schools Together Video
What makes this video interesting is a strong school
principal whose goals for this after school program
include helping the children AND the parents.
- Purpose of the program
- Parents talking about what the program means for them
- Kids have a good time while parents learn skills.
These videos were produced in a volunteer effort for a Philadelphia nonprofit
Turning Points for Children

Reuven Frank
of NBC News guides our work. He wrote in 1963:
Every news story should,
without sacrifice of probity or responsibility,
display the attributes of fiction, of drama.
It should have structure and conflict,
problem and denouement,
rising and falling action,
a beginning, a middle and an end.
These are not only the essentials of drama:
they are the essentials of narrative.

● Scenario: Your Wedding
- The Hook: the way you met or decided to marry.
Maybe in an amusement park or on a horse and buggy ride or at the shore,
a funny, happy mooment
- The Main Character: who knew first they wanted to marry, how did they know, what did they do?
- The Goal: a happy wedding enjoyable for family and friends
- Relationships and Conflict: Friends and Family in focus: finding a dress, a DJ, a space, a day, living in a budget, lots of issues
- Outcome: Goal accomplished: faces and smiles - special moments preserved for a lifetime Goal elusive: faces with concern; making the best of it
Concept: This scenario can work to bring together memorabilia from a prior wedding including video shot at the time, still photographs enhanced for video, commentary at the time and now, and reenactments where tasteful.
Note: This is a illustrative scenario. It will be changed to fit your story.
● Scenario: Your Business
- The Hook: something special about you and your customers.
This could be an award, a goal accomplished, a happy customer: something
with visual appeal.
- The Main Character: you and your business
- The Goal: enhance recognition of your business and how it helps customers
- Relationships and Conflict: Staff and Customers: steps in building and expanding the business
- Outcome: Goal accomplished: faces and smiles - a stronger brand for staff and customers
perhaps youtube.com, vimeo.com, etc., if there is an educational component then MIND-TV over-the-air in Philadelphia [minimum 40 exposures over 24 months]
Note: This is a illustrative scenario. It will be changed to fit your story.
