Family Legacy Videos
Capturing Life Stories and Family History for Future Generations
My Pivotal Point will weave a filmed interview with a loved one together with family photos, maps, or other memorabilia. We’ll add titles, chapters, and music throughout for a “moving portrait” that captures your family member for years to come. You’ll be able to show this video at reunions or on a family website, at holiday parties, birthday celebrations, or anywhere else that brings you together to acknowledge your shared memories.
How Do You Want to Be Remembered?
What will future generations know of your life? And how will that voice and path be accessed in the generations that follow behind you? How can your stories and experience benefit your family on their journey through this gift of life?
My Pivotal Point Legacy Videos are a way to connect family members across generations with a unique and tangible legacy. Our videos provide a thread that links them to their ancestry, and better enables them to know their elders, themselves and those that came before them. We strive to capture the true essence of a person and what they value, rather than the standard answers to a collection of random questions.
We won’t just ask about your favorite color or your first car, but about the experiences that brought meaning to your life or when you felt the most alive.
How It Works
Upon Booking: When you schedule a service, we will send you an onboarding guide. In it, you’ll have a lengthy list of the types of questions I’ll be asking during our interview. You’ll notice that the questions lead you from your knowledge about your ancestry and those who came before you, through your childhood and early memories, young adult life, marriage, parenting and family, career, retirement and later life.
But most notable are the introspective questions that you’ll be asked. What life advice would you pass along? What was the best day of your life? How would you describe your experience parenting and grandparenting, your thoughts about aging and dying, and the greatest challenges you’re currently facing.
Meet & Greet: A day or two before our scheduled interview, we will have a short introductory meeting where we can get to know one another and I can answer any questions you may have. I want to make sure you are as comfortable as possible, which this time allows.
Day Of Our Interview:
● We will connect over Zoom and make sure everything is set up properly.
● Throughout the interview, I will actively listen to your responses, and then use follow up questions to clarify and build upon your words. This allows for much greater depth for the video.
● I ask that all digital files that you would like included in the video are submitted to me by this point. This may include photographs, memorabilia, maps, genealogical records, etc.
Post Production Process:
● Add music
● Integration of still images
● Editing of interview and removal of interview questions
● Adjustment from long-form interview to short, audience-friendly video
● Chapter breakdown according to theme
● Inclusion of text overlays (according to package chosen)
● Uploading to password protected private webpage to share with friends and family (according to package)
● Delivery of final product in various formats in hard and digital copy (according to package)
