Use your smart phone and laptop! Learn to make a video!
We are launching a new, free video-making workshop series Monday afternoons, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm starting Monday, Jan. 26. The sessions will run for six weeks (with an option to extend if needed)! Here’s your opportunity to pick up new skills and record your stories or those of others.
To make the videos, we use smartphones and laptops, equipment you most likely have.The workshop fee: Make a 2- to 4-minute video, which we hope you’ll be willing to share for our Mapping our Memories project.
Our instructor is videographer Cheryl Rondeau. During the workshops, she will cover simple techniques for structuring, recording and editing a video. We will also explore online sources for archival photos, records of street addresses and more to provide more images and to confirm information for the videos.
Abandon your fear of new technology! There will be lots of one-on-one help. We will get those videos done and posted on YouTube!
Email us if you can join us. OUR STUDIO is located at 9 Neepawa Ave., Toronto, M6R 1V1, a block south of Howard Park and just east off Roncy.
Meanwhile, we will continue to offer drop-in workshop hours at our studio in Roncesvalles: Mondays, 10:00 am to noon, and Wednesdays, 1:00-3:00 pm. If you’re interested in learning some video-making skills, email us or call us: info@backlanestudios.ca or 647-313-1654.
