Do you have a family treasure to share?
Community members are invited to learn how to create their very own personalized and professional Family Treasures video – using family member stories, interviews, photos and memorabilia. Come to the FREE workshop on Thursday, May 30, 4pm at the CAPS Media Center, 65 Day Road in Ventura. Space is limited; reserve your spot today by emailing us at [email protected] or calling 805.658.0500.
During the 1-hour workshop, CAPS staff will help guide participants with step-by-step instructions on making their own video. Attendees will learn how to gather special family stories, get tips for interviewing relatives (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, children, etc.), scan precious photos, and include sentimental memorabilia to enhance the family video keepsake.
Once storytellers are ready to create their video, a $25 annual CAPS Media producer/membership fee will allow them to use the CAPS cameras, editing facility, and production studio all year long to record their family story. Throughout the process CAPS staff will assist the family in combing all the elements into their own compelling Family Treasures video.
Interested but not able to join us on May 30th? Contact us to get on the Family Treasures Workshop interest list for upcoming events!
