WHAT ARE WAITING FOR ?
YOUR LIFE STORY
How many times do we say “Do you
remember when…?”
Most of us have thought about recording
our life story - but never do anything
about it. Capturing your life story and
family history for your children,
grandchildren and great-grandchildren to
be able to reflect on you and what your
life was like? One way to ensure future
generations will know you and your story
is to share it in a Legacy Video. Imagine if
your ancestors had left a video memoir!
Who better to tell the tale than you !
A SIMPLE EASY PROCESS
Often, when someone sits down to write
their autobiography, they discover it’s far
more difficult than they expect. Writing
the events of one’s life on paper tends to
make them sound more like a history
book than heart felt elocutions. Written
memoirs can also take months, even
years, to write.
With a video memoir or Legacy Video,
you simply share your stories in an
interview. Not only will you recount your
stories more naturally, but your
personality, body language and voice will
bring them to life in a way the written
word often struggle to do.
YOUNGER GENERATIONS
For those among us who can still
remember a time before the internet …
books, journals and letters were an
important part of our lives. We relied
heavily on the written word, augmented
only by a few faded photos, to pass down
our stories and family history. These
days, whether for the better or worse,
younger generations are more screen
oriented. Sharing your memories on
video gives younger family members a
more visually captivating way to know
you and your story.
FOREVER MEMORIES
While you may not be around to get to
know your great, great-grandchildren, it
doesn’t mean they can’t get to know you.
But relying on your children and
grandchildren to pass on stories can be
risky. What do you remember about your
own grandparents? What do you know
about your great-grandparents? Which
stories have you passed on to your own
children? When we try to re-tell someone
else’s story, we never quite capture the
essence of our loved ones’ personality,
who they were and the original way they
told their stories. Video allows you to tell
the story and the ‘way it was’.
EASY TO DUPLICATE
As a family grows, it becomes more
difficult to decide who gets the various
heirlooms. Who gets the box of old
photos, the family bible or the
grandparent’s good china? Video
Memoirs or Legacy Videos are easy to
duplicate so everyone family member
can have a copy of the movie for their
own. Your story and memories are one
of the best gifts you could possibly pass
on … and it doesn’t matter if you have
twenty family members or two hundred!
