I'm Brian Case living just outside of Chicago, Illinois, having retired from a 35-year Mainframe Computer applications development career – that retirement consisting of employment as a full-time commuter bus driver since I've outlived my profession. (Long story).
I come to Udemy as a result of my sister's memorabilia that my nephew sent me on her passing. In those materials was a family picture taken around the Thanksgiving dinner table (I'm guessing) around 1952. I realized that, not only my grandchildren, but my adult children know nothing of most of the folks in that black-and-white photograph.
So, on a lark AND at age 73 AND totally unencumbered by any video development experience whatsoever, I put together a series of two-minute videos entitled “Dinner with Lloyd and Gladys”. Each video features my recollection or two about a person in that photo.
It took a couple of months and all sorts of errors and re-dos, But on completion, the reception I received posting those videos to Facebook (limited to my relatives) was far more positive than I ever anticipated.
What would have been really helpful was a course for old folks like me on how to create a remembrance video. Particularly one that addressed the process and strategy as much as the technology.
So I'm taking on the slings and arrows of creating such a course.
Hold good thoughts for my effort.
