We film in venues large and small, indoors and outdoors, in back yards and on yachts, covering everything from the overall setting to the smallest of details. All the key events you’ve planned will be filmed – the toasts, the special dances, VIP introductions and more. Got a special request? We’ve got that covered, too.
Filming is comprehensive – we never stop looking for things we know you’ll appreciate. Our focus is on the people you’ve chosen to share the occasion with you – the expressions on their faces, their interactions with you and one another. That’s what makes a video emotional, and that’s what we want to capture for you.
Professional cameras, lighting and microphones are used to insure the best image and sound. Editing is part of the artistic process and doesn’t end until all the footage is as close to perfect as is humanly possible.
What you’ll receive – Detailed, comprehensive coverage, crystal clear audio and video, a personalized introduction, your favorite music concluding with a still image highlight montage, all edited to a digital file or Blu-Ray disc. Digital highlights can also be created for sharing over social media. Quick turn-around within four weeks or less.
It all comes down to filming people celebrating something special with you in a video to be shared, looked back on, and enjoyed years later.
Elder Biographies and Life Histories
So that we can stay close to our loved ones long after they’re gone.
Meet Dvorah, philanthropist, avid traveler and gifted storyteller, sharing just a few of the colorful tales that filled her 89 years of life, and still counting! The events that she’s lived through and candidly recounts is something from the history books – sweat shops, the great depression, party lines, world wars! Things that most of us have only read about. Dvorah’s video includes a guided tour of the artwork and artifacts she has collected during her travels.
The Process – We’ll prep you in advance with some suggested topics to discuss. The interview during filming is casual and conversational, like a discussion between friends, and works wonders to stimulate discussion of memories and feelings.
Experiencing life through a loved one’s eyes is what life history video is all about – videos that will resonate for generations to come in the imagination of great-grandchildren who’ll be able to get acquainted with someone they may have never known, hear their voice, feel their passion, learn from their insight and marvel at the wealth of stories they have to tell.
Also know as “Elder Biographies” this will likely become the most personally satisfying video you’ll ever create. The trick is to do it while your loved ones are still able.
A Healing Experience – The return on your investment will be measured, not in years, but over generations – with a lifetime of comfort in being able to feel close to a loved one should they pass on. Watching their video is an incredibly healing experience.
So, if you know someone whose story you’d like us to film, contact us. We gently coach and direct as needed to bring each story to life. We have everything needed to make your video look and sound crystal clear. If you wish, you can add photos, documents and music to help tell the story in the most compelling way.
ON A PERSONAL NOTE:
I was fortunate enough, before they passed away, to film my own parents’ life histories. My sister and I hosted the interview.
As the interviews began I felt myself falling down a rabbit hole of unexpected twists and turns, stories I had never heard, through pain, suffering, war, depression, illness, loss – yet through it all there was a constant theme of undying devotion, empathy, commitment and love that never ended until they were gone.
