The Power of Video Storytelling for Non-Profits
Characteristics Of This Class:
With tons of examples, we'll analyze the different types of advocacy video and learn why certain videos work so well, how they were created, and how they engage the masses. We'll also personalize the class to help you begin to develop a plan for your organization's video - What is your message? What is the most effective way to deliver this message? - and what you need to take those next steps.
This workshop will cover:
- Why video, why now?
- Using video to effectively share your story and fundraise
- Different types of advocacy video and award winning examples
- What should your video say?
- Who can create this video for us?
- Avoiding non-profit pitfalls
- Planning for a video and what to budget
- How your video can help distinguish you from other organizations
This workshop is co-taught by Dana Romanoff and Amy Marquis, a full-time editor on National Parks Magazine. Amy is also the founder and editor of The Digital Naturalist, a blog dedicated to improving advocacy videos. Last fall, she spent six weeks on assignment for the National Parks Conservation Association producing and directing two short films about Yosemite National Park.
Who Should Take This:
Anyone working for a non-profit or community organization which is considering using video to tell its story - especially if you don't know where to begin!

Very thought provoking as someone pursuing video as a career but also as someone working at a non-profit.

EXCELLENT introduction to the possibilities of non-profit storytelling, with several examples and analysis and ending with discussion of what to consider when making one of these videos. Dana and Amy are personable and eager to answer questions.
