How to Write and Produce Your Missionary Video

The Toolbox for Video Storytelling, takes you through the steps necessary to effectively tell your story, through a short video, to almost any audience. The authors address organizational topics such as "Tell me the New New Story," "Thinking Stories, Not Topics," and "What's a Good Story". (It's about time one of these books dealt with something more than just the technical topics!) But that's just the beginning!

The Toolbox for Video Storytelling is an information-filled book and CD-ROM that will help missionaries produce their own quality video story.

You're also led through organizing your ideas, developing your script, developing your shot list, preproduction tips, camera technique, and basic sound and lighting tools.

What's more, there's an entire section on preparing your material for editing, copyrights, and music. The CD-ROM has over 30 minutes of video examples with case studies chocked full of ideas. Great 101-201" course.

 - Adapted from a review by Doug Lucas of Team Expansion for the May 3, 2002 issue  of Brigada Today  

Paperback version is currently out of print, but you can download the text in PDF format here.

The video illustrations originally with the CD-ROM
will soon be online.
