Why do this?
- Reason 1: To record the life stories of your loved ones....some of us say that one day we will sit down with Mom (or Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, etc.) and record their life stories, or write a book about their lives. Yet, many of us are so busy with our day-to-day lives that we put this off. And sometimes we never get around to it. Let a professional personal historian do this for you sooner rather than later!
- Reason 2: To share your own insights & stories...you have had your own important, life-changing events that you would like to share with others.
- Reason 3: To celebrate a special occasion...when a loved one has a special birthday coming up (maybe one ending with an "0") or a special anniversary, we often search high and low for a unique way to celebrate it. Creating a video memoir is a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday or anniversary.
- Reason 4: It's fun to do! Creating a video memoir is an enjoyable activity & your loved one will find pleasure in telling their life stories and can be assured that future generations will know them.
