A Legacy Video (or Video Memoir) captures a parent or grandparent sharing their life story, family history and memories.
Interviews take place in the comfort of the home with equipment kept discrete and to a minimum. Professional equipment is used throughout. Families are welcome to provide input throughout the editing process.
Below are sample Legacy Video packages.
To learn more about the process, packages or pricing, contact me. I would be happy to design a Legacy Video Package just for you.
