Have you ever thought about capturing your life story, family history and memories for your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to know? One way for younger generations to know you is by sharing your stories in a Grandparent Video or Legacy Video.
Imagine if your grandparents had shared their stories in a video memoir! What a family heirloom that would be!
Below are a few reasons why a Grandparent Video or Legacy Video are the new favorite way in which to pass on life stories, family history and life lessons….
Grandparent Video
It’s Easy!
Often, when someone sits down to write experiences from their life, 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 Grandparent Video or Legacy Video, you simply share your stories in a filmed interview. Questions from a skilled interviewer will help you recall your stories more naturally, bringing them to life in a way the written word often struggle to do.
Appeals to Younger Generations
For those 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, younger generations are more screen oriented. Sharing your memories on video will give younger family members a more visually captivating way to know you and your story.
Keeps On Giving
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 your 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. A Grandparent Video or Legacy Video can.
Easy To Duplicate
As a family grows, it becomes difficult to decide who gets the heirlooms. Who gets the box of old photos, the family bible or the grandparent’s china set? Grandparent Videos are easy to duplicate and share so everyone family member can have their own copy of the movie to pass down. Your stories are one of the best heirlooms you can pass on … and it doesn’t matter if you have twenty family members or two hundred!
