Worried it will feel like an interview?
You're not alone.
Many people imagine they'll be put on the spot or asked difficult questions. The reality couldn't be more different.
There's no script, no pressure and no right or wrong answers.
It's simply a relaxed conversation about the people, memories and experiences you'd like to recall for you and your family to remember.
You choose what you'd like to talk about, what you'd rather leave out, and you're always in control.
You don't need to prepare a speech or remember everything. I'll gently guide the conversation and help your memories unfold naturally.
How it works in 3 simple steps
1
Discovering Your Story.
We begin with a relaxed consultation to understand your life and the stories you'd most like to share. Together we'll shape a conversation that's completely personal.
2
Recording Your Story.
We film a natural conversation in a place where you feel comfortable, usually your own home. There's no script, no pressure and no need to prepare answers.
3
Crafting Your Film.
We carefully edit your conversation, weaving in photographs and music to create a beautifully presented Life Story Video for you and future generations.
Anyone can record a video. Very few people know how to preserve a life.
Creating a meaningful Life Story Video is about knowing which questions to ask, when to pause, when to listen and how to gently guide a conversation so memories unfold naturally. There's no script to follow. No performance. No pressure to get it right. Just a relaxed conversation, thoughtfully guided to capture the stories, experiences and values that make every life unique.

What to expect
From the moment we arrive, our aim is to help you feel completely at ease. This isn't about performing for the camera or remembering the "right" answers. It's simply a relaxed conversation, gently guided at your own pace. Most people tell us they enjoy it so much that they forget the cameras are even there!
