Legacy & Biography Videos
You've led an interesting life, but have your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren heard your life story?
Our personalized, professionally produced, Netflix-quality mini-documentaries allow people to leave lasting, personalized legacies, and to give their loved ones the pleasure of having them around forever.
Our Process
- We'll start with an initial meeting with you to discuss the stories you'd like to tell and to review photos or videos you want to include in the video.
- Working with you, we'll create a list of questions to help prompt certain stories or aspects of those stories during the on-camera interview.
- Schedule and film the video interview and any additional footage requested.
- Editing - we cut together your video interview with your photos and videos, and music if requested.
- The edited video is posted to a private page on our site for you to review and request changes.
- The finished video is delivered as a video file for you to post on a video hosting service of your choice, such as YouTube. (FYI, a YouTube video can be set to private, viewable only by people with a link and/or a password)
- Your final video can also be delivered on DVD for an additional charge.
The Interview
The interview (where you talk about your life) is filmed at your home, a location of your choosing, or in our state-of-the-art studio.
We pride ourselves in creating a relaxed atmosphere with a minimum amount of equipment and crew. Our crew typically consists of two people– a director and a cinematographer.
The goal is to keep things light and conversational and to just be yourself. Think of it as telling an interested friend or loved-one about different chapters in your life.
Customize Your Video
You can customize your video with the following add-ons:
- Additional footage (a.k.a. "b-roll") of you participating in an activity– playing tennis or pickleball, gardening, cooking, meeting with friends each morning for coffee, etc.
- Video interviews with other family members, friends, and/or colleagues to add another perspective to your story
