Posted on May 2, 2009 by Matthew Burnett

 

This video, which features a client of Montana Legal Services Association telling the story of how a MLSA attorney, Amy Hall, helped keep her and her children safe from abuse is a great example of the effective use of video by a legal services organization. It's simple, straightforward and powerful.  To learn more about how your organization can use video to support your work, see Sharing Your Story Social Media Style, part of the We Are Media Project by the Nonprofit Technology Network (NTEN). -M

It looks like Iowa Legal Aid Foundation also just released a well-done video that explains why legal aid is important. You can check out the video here.

Wow, powerful indeed.

MLSA should consider joining the YouTube Nonprofit channel. The benefits aren't all that significant (nonprofit branding, some fundraising options), but it's free and easy to setup.

I would like to learn more about how to use the flip camera to make this kind of video. Anything on flip?
