"Making TV Magic" will use the platform of a variety television show to share our life stories, lessons, talents, skills and interests. Informed by initial introductions and storytelling, we will create multiple segments that could range from how-to demonstrations to fashion, cooking, talent and talk-show presentations. We will learn the basics of filmmaking (lighting, green screen and camera demos), and will construct set backdrops, props, and/or costumes to accompany our programs. These workshops will emphasize our unique histories and talents, and serve as a fun and collaborative way to honor and document our life experiences.
