Description

Life Memories are valuable, and fleeting. There is huge value in capturing them the right way on a smartphone.

Do you want to ensure the memories of loved ones, friends and family, are preserved for you and future generations the right way? Without spending excessive amounts of time and effort?

This online course will teach you how to capture life memories using proven storytelling techniques and approaches.

This course is designed to teach you the ins and outs of capturing life memories with a smartphone by showing you the art and craft of how to plan, map out and produce them. While there are other courses about smartphone interviewing, it's hard to find a course that gives you a step-by-step insight into capturing stories professionally that really will be a resource now and into the future.

This is the course for you, taught by Larry App who has personally made dozens of films of this kind. The principles and methods he teaches in this course can be applied by you today. His approach to the interviewing process is especially noteworthy.


"I'm glad to share with you from my experience over the years of helping people capture their life stories.

After taking this course, you'll appreciate the privilege and the honour of someone trusting you enough to bring you inside their personal life.

You'll know that you have done a great thing by helping someone leave a legacy with creativity, authenticity and style.

You'll experience the gratitude of the person and their family and their friends.

Those who would find particular value in this course would be those who are interested in preserving someone else's story.

Also, those who are interested in preserving their own story - and that might be you.

Local historians, genealogist teachers, students, writers, retired folks, journalists, family and friends.

This course is not for those who are interested in only the technology of capturing life stories, and those who capture life stories professionally and are satisfied with their own style.

What you'll get from this course is how to recognise a story, how to use various techniques that can be used to bring a story to life using only a smartphone and a love and appreciation for stories for their own sake.

I invite you into this course with a warm welcome. What you will learn here will set you apart from others because you'll learn to capture life stories with creativity, authenticity and style.

Looking forward to seeing you inside the course!"

- Larry App

Although my career has been accounting, since 2005 I have been capturing Life Stories with video of people primarily in my community. The tagline "Extraordinary stories from ordinary people" tells what audience I target. They do not need to be elderly, but many of them are. The oldest interviewee was 103 years old and the youngest was 8. These types of interviews, over 250 now, have extended my story capturing to "things" in my community. An old Italian-American neighborhood has been documented as well as an 1837 grist mill (the oldest in Indiana, the oldest building in my county (1834 log house), the history of my hometown Elkhart, Indiana, and the history of our county's courthouse and its tower clock. Preserving these stories for the benefit of future generations is what I strive for... I am passionate about stories and storytelling in this way. Since I won't be able to do this forever, I would like to teach others to do what I do. I would like them to know the techniques of recognizing a story, developing it, and to tell it in a way that is authentic, creative, and using style (but no spin). This is part of my legacy... to pass on this information so that more stories can be preserved by others.
