What is a Legacy Video? A Legacy Video by Family Tree Video is a memoir on video that preserves a family’s stories and history for younger generations to know. Stories are captured through filmed interviews with one or more family members and woven together with family photos and other memorabilia.
The result is a beautiful “moving portrait” families cherish for generations to come.
Unlike a photo album, written memoir or ancestry.com, Legacy Videos preserve a family’s oral history, memories shared in one’s own words. Personality, nuance and voice are captured along with priceless information, bringing stories and family history to life in a way the written word often struggles to do.
Imagine if your great-grandparent or great-great-grandparent had left one!
Legacy Video Production
In the past, only professional movie studios could do justice to any kind of documentary production. Not only was the cost and process far bigger in scope than what any one person could manage, but the subject had to have wide-spread appeal.
These days, there is a new type of documentary producer; one that specializes in working solely with families in order to capture their stories – real stories of real people. These producers give families a way to preserve their stories in a format that will captivate for generations.
What is in a Legacy Video?
Whatever a family wants it to be! Below are just a few examples:
- Some families want to capture the family history as recalled by several family members in order to bring the family tree to life.
- Others prefer to keep the focus closer to the present by capturing the life story of a parent or grandparent as shared in their own words.
- Still others choose to capture a special family event or experience – such as summers on grandpa’s farm – and begin a tradition that will inspire others to do the same.
There is no right way to preserve a family’s stories. That is why a Legacy Video has such unique appeal.
Your stories are too important to leave to memory. To learn more about capturing them for your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to know, contact us.
