26 Video Ideas: A to Z On How To Make Money With Video (page 2)

Family History
What better gift for any grandparent than a video that artistically combines interviews with old Super8 family films and snapshots to create a stroll down memory lane. Have family members pool their resources to underwrite a gift that everyone can enjoy watching again and again.

Graduations
Elementary and High School graduation ceremonies are naturals for videos that can be sold to proud parents and families. But don't stop there. How about trade schools, training academies and technical schools? Wherever people celebrate human accomplishment, a video marking the special occasion can find a ready market.

Historical Records
Every community has buildings and landmarks of historical significance. Dig back into the records and use photos and live video to bring history to life. Possible sponsors: civic groups, town counsels and local businesses.

Insurance Inventories
Anyone who's ever been the victim of a fire or a burglary knows that having an up-to-date inventory of valuable possessions is critical. Video is the perfect solution. Remind your clients to store the tape in a place that will survive any future catastrophe.

Junk Car Restorations
Car enthusiasts spend fortunes customizing their classics or bringing vintage vehicles back to their original condition. A video documenting the metamorphosis from junker to gem, or from heap to hot rod, will be treasured for a lifetime.

Karate Class
Karate and other martial arts classes are full of boys and girls learning self-defense skills. Contact the instructors and make arrangements to videotape big demonstrations and competitions. Offer the resulting videos to the proud parents.

Letters from Home
Know a neighbor, friend or acquaintance with kids away at college, family members in the service or relatives living in another country? A video letter is a real treat. And getting one made is probably worth a few bucks to someone without access to a camcorder, especially during the holiday season.
