Star Island: “A Magical Place”
 

Three short videos have just been released by the Star Island Corporation. The videos, each with a distinct theme, portray Star Island through lively interviews and stunning photographs. The first video – “A Magical Place” – can be seen on the home page of the Star Island website. The videos were produced and edited by longtime Shoaler and videographer, Sara Frost Schoman. 
These videos describe the Island and conference experience in a way that is more engaging than printed materials. The videos – now on the Web (vimeo and YouTube) – are also available from the Corporation on DVD. They vary in length from three to five minutes. 
About the videos, Sara says, “I loved doing this project! It was an honor for me to be involved with several groups. First, thanks to the Shoalers who agreed to be interviewed. As they talked about why they love the Island, it was fascinating to hear how the ‘magic,’ the natural setting, and the community had influenced them. 
“Next, having photographs in hand made it possible to portray the Island during the off-season. Many images were donated by professional and lay photographers for use by the Corporation. Those folks are all credited on the videos. Thank you so much for your generosity!”
