Why a Life Story Video

●      Captures more than just a story. A video captures your voice, your laugh, your smile, your accent, your humour and more.

●      Children, grandchildren, and future generations can listen to their grandparents directly, now and in the future.

●      An easy way to tell your story. You don't need to prepare a script or have your life in order – just a willingness to reflect and share.

●      A hugely rewarding experience. My storytellers tell me without fail just how much they enjoy the whole process.

●      Do it together. Some of my favourite filmed moments are interactions: spouses laughing together, or discovering new things about each other. Pure gold.

●      What's more, we can add family photos, digitised family films, audio recordings and music to add context and colour.

How it Works - The Life Story Video process

Preparation

The first step is a conversation or two with our storyteller. We will discuss the process and go through my pre-interview questionnaire in depth. This helps me learn more about my storyteller, their life, and the memories they would like to share.

This step is also really helpful for the storyteller, helping them to recall stories and giving confidence that the process will actually be a lot of fun.

The filmed Story Keepers interview

The core of all I do is the Story Keepers interview. I use gentle prompts and questions to help storytellers to share their stories and reflect on their memories; the family stories they heard, childhood memories, memories of parents, grandparents and other important people, memories of leaving home, falling in love, of ambitions, challenges they may have faced, careers, hobbies and the list goes on. It is your life story. I just help you to tell it.

Face-to-face interviews usually take place at the storyteller's house. We speak for up to two hours at a time, taking pauses or breaks whenever needed. If we plan to speak for more than two hours, we'll schedule a second interview date.

I bring cameras and lighting. I keep my kit as small as possible and use what is necessary. My main focus is always on the content. 

Post production

I will now start to edit your Life Story video into compelling, easy-to-navigate, topic-based chapters and films. I add your family photos, films, and even additional footage and music to provide context and colour. 

The storyteller will review their film and check if any edits are needed.

Once the storyteller is 100% happy with the vidoes I will send a link to download the files plus a copy of the films on a USB stick in a Story Keepers gift box

A Lasting Legacy for Your Family

Your life story matters. And when it’s captured in your own words, your own voice and your own way, it becomes something more than a record – it becomes a touchstone for your children, grandchildren, and generations still to come. A video memoir allows you to pass on more than just facts or dates – it preserves your humour, your voice, your presence. That’s the power of a family memoir video
