The first simple step! Place your order with us and we will start the process rolling by gathering some initial information from you and we will schedule a convenient filming date or dates with you. This will usually be 2 weeks or more ahead - to ensure you have enough time to plan out your story prior to filming.
Before we start filming, there are some preparations to undertake and decisions to make. It may be a good idea to ask a friend or family member to help with this step.
The key question is: What do you want to include in your film?
> What are the areas you want to be sure to cover; the events, incidents and stories you wish to include?
> Which images or video clips do you need to gather together to be included in your film?
To make this as easy as possible we will supply you with some template documents when you place your order.
Family stories from the past.
Grandparents, & Other Close Relatives
Parents & Siblings
On the agreed date/s we will arrive and arrange the room where filming will take place with lighting and setup our camera and recording equipment. We will then record your interview in 25-30 minute sessions with a short break between each session. (There will usually be five of these sessions, taking 2.5-3 hours for our Feature Length package). Our interviewer will prompt you/the interviewee throughout based on the information gathered during the project planning stage asking supplementary questions to draw out the story. We will also photograph any pictures which you would like to be included which are not already available as digital images and ensure we have a full list of captions or descriptions for each picture to be included.
We will then edit your Memoirs Film adding background music, an intro, an outro, graphics, titles and your photographs. We can also add relevant video clips if required and assist you with having any old cine-film or video digitised as necessary (additional charges will apply if this is required). We will then supply a pre-approval copy of your film so you can make final checks to ensure there are no errors in the way in which we have assembled your film. The final length of the film will typically be 70-100 minutes in length.
Once you have approved your final film it will be supplied to you on a USB memory stick and can also be made available securely online so you can choose who can see your final film!
