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. The interviews are then woven together with family photos, documents, maps and other memorabilia. Titles, chapters, music and more are added throughout. The result is a captivating family heirloom families can pass on for generations.
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 greater than what any one person could manage, but the subject had to have wide-spread appeal. After all, how many people would pay to see a movie about the family next door?

Today, due to advances in technology, there is a new type of documentarian, 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 more screen oriented younger generations.
What is in a Legacy Video?
A Legacy Video is whatever a family wants it to be. Below are just a few examples…
- Some families wish to bring the family tree to life by capturing the family history as recalled by several older family members.
- Others prefer to keep the focus closer to the present by capturing a parent or grandparent sharing life stories, family history and memories.
- Still others wish 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 by Family Tree Video has such unique appeal.
