Video Biography

A documentary style ‘Biography Film’ (video biography) is a great way of commemorating landmark events in a persons life such as birthdays, wedding anniversaries, retirement etc…Video biography films are ideally based around a filmed interview of parents, grandparents or friends though we can also make a film in their absence as a surprise. The film may trace a life story or family history with  photographs, home videos, graphics and favourite music. It’s an enjoyable and rewarding experience and can be one of the most treasured and valuable relics for a family, giving future generations an insight into the lives of their ancestors.

We can work with a variety of budgets ranging from a simple photo/video slideshow set to music, to a full 90 minute production with interviews, graphics, voice over etc..
The story can be related in any way you feel comfortable, either as a free form chat or prompted by questions. It’s an enjoyable experience and is filmed unobtrusively in your own home or wherever you feel appropriate.
Digital copies are made of any photos, home videos or visual memorabilia to include in the piece and provide you with backup copies free from deterioration. None of your material will need to leave your home.
The interview is then edited into a coherent story, incorporating the photos and video footage with titles and effects. The final piece can be up to 90 minutes in length or split into 2 or 3 shorter films.

The final DVD is colour printed on disc and sleeve and contain the film(s) plus slideshows and any useful information. A second DVD is included containing the digitized photos and videos for safekeeping.
