📝 Our Process

  1. We'll start with an initial meeting or call with you to discuss the stories you'd like to tell and to review photos or videos you want to include in the video.
  2. 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.
  3. Schedule and film the video interview and any additional footage requested.
  4. Editing - we cut together your video interview with your photos and videos, and music if requested.
  5. The edited video is posted to a private page on our site for you to review and request changes.
  6. 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)
  7. 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
