Have you ever thought about recording your life stories, family history and memories for your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to know? One way to ensure younger generations know your stories is by capturing them in a Grandparent Video.
What is a Grandparent Video? A Grandparent Video (or Legacy Video) is a memoir on video that weaves a filmed and edited interview together with family photos. Titles, music and more are added throughout. The result is a beautiful “moving portrait” capturing you sharing life stories, family history and life lessons – a gift your family will cherish for years to come
Imagine if your grandparents or great-grandparents had shared their stories in a Grandparent Video! What a family heirloom that would be!
Below are a few reasons why Grandparent Videos or Legacy Videos are the new favorite way in which to pass on family stories…
Grandparent Video
It’s Easy!
Unlike a written memoir which can take months (or even years) to write, with a Grandparent Video you simply share stories in a filmed interview. A skilled interviewer will ask questions that make the experience enjoyable and that are designed to help you recall memories so stories come out naturally, A good interviewers question might be: ‘Describe your childhood neighborhood’.
Appeals to Younger Generations
While books, journals and letters were once the only way to preserve and pass down family stories and history, they no longer have the same appeal with younger generations. Sharing your memories in on video woven with family photos, gives younger family members a more visually captivating way to know you and your story.
Keeps On Giving
What do you remember about your grandparents? What do you know about your great-grandparents? Which stories have you passed on to your children?
Relying on younger generations to remember and pass on family stories and history can be risky. Preserving them in a Grandparent Video ensures they wont be lost.
It’s Personal
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. A Grandparent Video or Legacy Video can.
Easy To Duplicate
Your stories are one of the best family heirlooms you can pass on. Since Grandparent Videos are easy to duplicate and share, every family member can have a copy to pass down; so it doesn’t matter if you have twenty family members or two hundred!
