California Listens

The Burbank Public Library participated in California Listens, a multi-year program at select public libraries throughout the state sponsored by the California State Library. Workshops are led by Berkeley’s StoryCenter, the inventors of the Digital Storytelling method now used by schools and community organizations around the world.

Our session took place in April 2018. Burbank participants learned:

1) How to Make a Great Video Story
2) How to Write a Narration Script and Record It
3) How to Prepare a Visual Treatment for your Story
4) The Basics of Video Editing in WeVideo

For questions or more information, email Joe Lambert at joe@storycenter.org or Cassandra Stearns at cstearns@burbankca.gov.

Our stories were presented on Saturday, October 20, 2018, at the Buena Vista Branch Library, and become part of a state archive of stories about what it means to be a Californian.
