Covid Memorial: Story Project

As part of the Covid Memorial Installation, we invite you to share your stories of your experience of the pandemic. Simply make a 2-3 minute video recording of yourself telling about your experience, and upload it to our folder.  If you prefer to have somebody else record you telling your story, please contact Stephanie Kimball to arrange an appointment at the church or at your residence.

Instructions for video recording:

1) Orient your device horizontally so that it is in landscape mode

2) Use a tripod to steady your device (you may borrow ours!)

3) Make sure you have good lighting.  Natural lighting is best. Face a window for great natural light. Never have the window behind you or you’ll be left with a silhouette.

4) Minimize distracting background sounds like TVs, cars, etc. if possible.

5) Begin by saying your name.

6) We can trim the beginning and ending, so don’t worry about that.

7) Upload your video to our shared Google Drive.
