EWS027: Telling your Family Stories through Video
In this episode, I chat with Luke Brown. Luke is the founder of Our Family Film School, an online community that teaches everyday people how to shoot and edit amazing videos with their mobile devices. Luke's worked in Video & Multimedia Production for over 15 years on everything from TV commercials and short films, to filming huge corporate events and conferences and even sketch comedy.
But the videos he's most proud of are the videos he created with my kids. They’re not fancy videos shot on expensive equipment, they’re simple, but they tell their story and will always remind them of what the kids were like when they where little.
In this episode:
