Episodes

Welcome to Your Video Projects!  I am currently producing an Episodic video series that will start from the ground... up, on secrets I have learned since filming my first short film at 17 years old.  I feel it's time to pass my knowledge to others.  I'm doing this so you, the aspiring filmmaker or even someone who wants to produce wonderful family memories can take that first step toward making better videos.  It would thrill me to someday have a filmmaker come up to me and let me know that Your Video Projects is where it all began.  James R. Spain
