How the process works
We meet with you for a 1 to 2 hour pre-interview. We help you organize your memories.
We work with you to select the heir-loom photographs, film, video, newspaper clippings, etc., vital to your story. We scan, digitize and copy all media at the highest digital resolutions possible.
The Interview: We set up the best shooting location in your home, with professional lighting and sound. We videotape for 90 minutes. We have experience interviewing all kinds of people - and making it fun! We shoot Hi-Definition 1080p video with professional sound.
Post-production: We edit the footage, optimize sound, incorporate photos and other media, create a soundtrack, add titles, credits, etc. You are welcome to contribute during this process with any suggestions you will have. We burn a proof DVD, with elegant cover. You approve and we print the DVD's!
Sharing: We can help you set up a video page allowing you to share the video with Family & Friends. We also provide you with the digital files created to make your DVD.
Or you can make your own short video. Here's how:
Step 1 - PHOTOS: You choose 5-10 of your favorite photos from throughout your life
Step 2 - WRITE: In a workshop or individually, we'll show you how to write a script based around your photos
Step 3 - SHOOT: Either on your own, or through our services, you are filmed as you use your script and your photos to describe your life
Step 4 - EDIT: Either on your own, or with our editors, your photos and video are carefullyedited and set to music, to tell the story of your life
