Be A StoryTeller
Do you have a story you want to tell?
Or what may seem more practical.. is to tell your story while recording it either on a audio or video recorder.
Once you have finished, gather the pictures, documents or films that display or support what you are telling about.
Try to get them in the order where they will display and expand what your audio is talking about.
If you have access to a good movie editor or even a power point program one might be able to put it all together for a complete presentation. This is the method first used for some of the GraceTime samples.IF you have access to a Movie Camera or digital photo camera with audio recording capability. Your life just became easy. All you have to do is point and shoot the movie…
Did you know you can purchase a AipTek “PC” camera at your local Radio Shack for less than $130? Equip the camera with a 500 meg Sandisk memory card and you can take non stop.. 3 hours of video!!! Try that with a more expensive unit! Now mind you… Then lens quality will not be superior.. But realize that most of the samples in this site was video recorded with exactly this kind of digital “PC” camera! Did it look good enough? You be the judge!
Movie cameras can record hours. While photo cameras usually have a movie taking limitaion of 30 to 60 seconds depending on how much memory they have.
If you also want to combine all of the filming, pictures, video and combination multimedia presentations…. You will need to use multimedia editing software..
This means getting your all your photos into a digital storage format. Use of Flat bed scanners (for saving paper pictures and documents with computers), getting your developed photos stored on “CDs” and videos saved in a format that your multimedia editor understands.
It also means you will need a computer software program that can organize and create movies. There are many movie editor programs to choose from.
GraceTime can arrange to have someone assist you or you may learn how to do it yourself online by use of the GraceTime University of Knowledge or in one of our planned area multimedia classes….
GraceTime can demonstrate many solutions for ways you might want to make a record of your life’s energies. We stand ready to help you find the right one.
