Get Started

The development of any personal video is not a project to take lightly. It is a product and keepsake that you will be able to proudly pass on to your family members and friends.

As you begin the process of "forming" your project/product in your mind, below are questions posed for your consideration. Your response to these questions will allow us to create a strong focus as to the video's outcome. And, more importantly, this will also allow us to achieve its personal promise to you and your family: complete satisfaction with your completed product.

In "forming" your project/product, please consider these questions: 

​

• What is the ultimate purpose/outcome for your project? Who is the receiving party of your project?

• Is there a particular span of time that are you planning to address in the video? Birth to present date? High school years? A particular and singular event?

• Is the video to be upbeat? Reflective? Serious? Silly/humorous? A blend? 

• Is the video to be a gift to a person? Do you want the the video to reflect your perspective? Do you want the video to reflect the person's perspective? 

• Depending on how you answered the last question, do you want to include music that you personally choose? If you are personally selecting the music, do you have a list of favorite songs you would like to use? 

• When and where are you planning the video to be shown? 

• How long would you like the video presentation to be? 5-10 minutes? 10-20 minutes? 20-30 minutes? 

• If the video is addressing a particular person, are there hobbies, activities, talents, involvements, etc. that should be included?

• Are there particular colors and sounds that are important to include in the video to complement its mood?
