Life Stories Package
Life Story
- One day documentary-style interview with you in which we ask you about your life. We allocate a full day so as not to rush the answers, and to ensure we cover as much of your life story as you want.
- Digital images and home videos of you and your family can be added
- Your video is professionally edited, using music, graphics, and titles to create a singular documentary-style video*
- A digital copy of the final video to keep
- A physical copy of the final video to keep
- Optional for an extra fee - a hair and make-up artist
*The length of the Life Stories video varies from person to person, typically it will be around an hour long.
Life Stories stemmed from the pain of having lost loved ones, with only memories and still photographs preserving them. A Life Story video gives us a chance to see them again, to hear their voice, and to remember them as they are.
How it Works
Step 1 - Get in touch with us and let us know what you are looking for.
Step 2 - We will have a chat with you and send you our template set of questions.
Step 3 - You review the questions and can add/remove questions as you like.
Step 4 - We set up a time and place to record your life story, wherever and whenever is most comfortable and convenient for you.
Step 5 - We record your life story, taking our time to make sure we get what you want. *
Step 6 - We professionally edit your life story.
Step 7 - We present you with a digital and physical copy of your life story.
*We set aside the day for filming but estimate it would take roughly around three to four hours, so not too much of your time!
We operate with a small, friendly crew (just the two of us!) and we work efficiently to create a memorable video you and your family and friends will cherish.
Example
Margaret
In this snippet from her Life Story, Margaret tells us about her earliest childhood memory.
We are proud to have recorded Margaret’s Life Story, for her partner, her kids, her grandkids, her great-grandkids, and future generations to watch, reminisce, and discover more about her.
Who we are
We are Sean and Ester, hailing from Scotland and the Netherlands respectively. We are digital film production graduates, we live in the west of Scotland, we love learning about others, and believe video/film’s true power lies in its ability to immortalise the everyday, the every person. Also, we are usually told that we are nice!
We have a wide range of both filming and interviewing experience (people from all walks of life!), meaning we can deliver your story professionally, and make it fun too!
“It was a pleasure to be able to talk and express how my younger years developed, it brought back some lovely times for me with my parents and siblings, and then how my family have grown through the years. This was a very pleasant experience with both Ester and Sean being so professional, but always smiling meaning I was able to relax, I would recommend this experience to everyone who wants to leave their family with beautiful memories.”
– Margaret Geddes
