What is a Video Memoir? A Video Memoir is a memoir on video that preserves a person’s stories, in their own words, for younger generations to know. Stories are captured through filmed interviews and woven together with family photos, documents, maps and other memorabilia. Titles, chapters, music and more are added throughout. The result is a beautiful “moving portrait” families can pass down for generations.
Video Memoir 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.
Today, with 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 help families preserve their stories in a way that will captivate for generations.
What is in a Video Memoir?
Video Memoirs are designed to a person’s vision and needs. Below are just a few examples…
- Some people wish to focus solely on their life story.
- Others prefer to bring the family tree to life by focusing more on their memories of the family history.
- 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 person’s stories. That is why a Video Memoir has such unique appeal.
