What exactly is a video memoir?

A video memoir is a professionally recorded and edited video capturing a person’s life stories, memories, and wisdom in their own words, often combined with photos and personal footage.

​

How long does the process take from start to finish?
Depending on the package, the entire process—from planning to final delivery—typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, allowing time for interviews, editing, and revisions. We will work to accommodate your schedules and any deadlines you may have.

​

Where does the filming take place?
We can film in the comfort of your home, at a studio, or even virtually, ensuring a setting where your loved one feels relaxed and at ease.

 

What if my parent or grandparent is nervous on camera?
We strive to to create a warm, conversational atmosphere, gently guiding them through questions so they feel comfortable and natural.

 

Can we include family photos, old videos, or documents?
Absolutely! We encourage incorporating personal materials to bring the story to life—these can be seamlessly integrated into the final video.

 

How much does it cost?
Our packages range from $1,500 to $5,000+, depending on the level of production, length, and customization involved. We can help find an option that fits your budget.

​

Can family members participate in the interview?
Yes! Family members can ask questions, share memories, or appear in the video to make it even more personal and meaningful.

​

What format will the final video be delivered in?
We can provide digital files, private online access, and USB or DVD copies to ensure your memoir is easily shareable and preserved for generations.

​

Can we request edits or revisions?
Yes, each package includes a round of revisions to fine-tune the final video and ensure it meets your expectations.

​

What happens if we want to add more content later?
We offer follow-up sessions and additional editing services on a case-by-case basis, so you can continue building on your loved one's legacy over time.
