Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you film these videos?

Most Life Story Videos are filmed on location, whether that’s in the client’s home, a meaningful place, or a studio setting. However, we also offer a remote option for those who prefer a virtual interview, allowing anyone, anywhere in the world, to preserve their story. No travel is required for remote recordings.

How long does it take?

The turnaround time typically ranges from 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project. This timeframe includes:

  • Filming
  • Editing
  • Adding photos, videos, and music
  • Review and revisions

For urgent requests (such as videos needed for a milestone birthday or anniversary), we offer an expedited editing option at an additional cost.

Filming lasts as long as needed to ensure a comfortable and thorough experience for our clients. On average, each question takes about 5-10 minutes to answer, with breaks included to maintain a relaxed and natural flow.

Can we include old photos or home videos

We encourage families to include:

Scanned photos – Childhood pictures, wedding photos, milestone moments
Home videos – VHS tapes, Super 8 film, digital clips
Letters & documents – Handwritten notes, historical records, meaningful keepsakes
Memorabilia – Military medals, family heirlooms, artwork, and more

We seamlessly integrate these elements to enrich the storytelling experience. If needed, we also offer digitizing services for old media formats, as well as photo enhancement and restoration to improve the quality of aged or damaged images, ensuring your memories are preserved beautifully.

Can we include multiple people?

Yes! You can include multiple people in a Life Story video. Whether it’s a spouse, sibling, child, or close friend, having more than one person adds depth and different perspectives to the story. We can film individual interviews or group discussions to ensure everyone’s memories are thoughtfully included.

Why not do this ourselves?

While a DIY recording may save costs, our professionally crafted Life Story Videos offer:

🎥 Cinematic quality – High-resolution footage, professional equipment, and clear audio from an award-winning filmmaker
🎬 Expert storytelling – Edited to highlight key moments in a compelling way with 100+ carefully curated questions to choose from
🎵 Emotionally impactful editing – Thoughtfully placed music, transitions, and visuals
💾 Long-term preservation – Provided in a durable digital format for future generations

A Life Story Video is more than just a recording—it’s a legacy piece that families treasure for decades.

Our Life Story Legacy Videos typically start at $3,000 for a standard production, which includes a professionally filmed and edited video with one primary storyteller and one filming day.

What can affect the price?
Additional Participants – Including multiple family members or friends in interviews may require extra filming and editing.
Digitization & Enhancements – We offer photo/video digitization, restoration & other services to enhance your video
