Who Else
Wants to Capture Their Most Important Moments and Preserve Them
For All Time in Live Action Sound and Color?
What, You Don’t Think You Can Afford it? Well, You May Be In for a
Surprise! It’s Not Nearly As Costly as You May Think!
Are you old enough to remember the home movies
your grandpa used to take? They were
“works of art” that conjured up fond memories of family events. Trips to the beach, special holiday
get-togethers and birthdays were all marked as a rite of passage.
They were usually grainy, jerky and most in black
and white. Grandpa was the director,
producer, editor and major domo of all things audio/visual.
Embarrassingly horrible they were the archive of
your family and nostalgia reigned supreme when grandpa would pull out the old
projector.
Sadly, those reels of film are probably already
disintegrating and many memories will be lost forever.
Don’t let history repeat itself!
You know exactly what you need to do and the
thought may have you shaking in your boots.
Start preserving your own family keepsakes to insure they don’t go the
way of grandpa’s home movies.
Now, you may never be a George Lucas or a Steven
Spielberg, but you can learn to churn out optimum productions of your very
own. Not only can you do it, you can
learn to do it with “class!”
If you have found the idea of creating your own
movies intimidating you can overcome any of your perceived shortcomings. All you need is some education and Modern Movie Making at Home is just what you need to get the job done.
