Creating a legacy video is a deeply personal and meaningful project, and our team is dedicated to ensuring that every detail is handled with care and precision. Here’s a glimpse into the logistics of how we bring these timeless memories to life.
The process begins with a pre-production meeting, where we sit down or chat over a Zoom Meeting with the client to discuss their vision and goals for the legacy video. This is a crucial step where we learn about the person’s life, the stories they want to share, and any special elements they’d like to include, such as old photographs or personal mementos. We also discuss the technical aspects of the shoot, from location to scheduling, ensuring that everyone is on the same page.
On the day of the shoot, we focus on creating a comfortable environment for the interview. We understand that sharing personal stories can be emotional, so we take the time to put our subjects at ease. The interview is conducted in a quiet, relaxed setting, allowing for candid and heartfelt responses. Our team asks thoughtful questions, guiding the conversation while allowing the subject’s personality and stories to shine through.
Lighting is key to creating a visually appealing video. We use professional lighting equipment to ensure the subject is well-lit, with soft, flattering light that highlights their features without being harsh or distracting. Our goal is to create a warm, inviting atmosphere that draws viewers into the story.
Clear, high-quality audio is essential for a Legacy Film, which is why we use lavalier microphones to capture every word. These discreet microphones are clipped to the subject’s clothing, allowing for natural movement while ensuring crisp, clear audio. We monitor the sound throughout the interview to make sure that every detail is captured without any background noise or interference.
After the interview, the real magic happens in the editing room. Our team carefully reviews the footage, selecting the best moments to craft a cohesive narrative. We also integrate old images, scanned photographs, and any other visual elements the client has provided. These are seamlessly woven into the video, adding depth and context to the stories being told.
Our editing process is meticulous, with attention to detail in every cut, transition, and audio mix. The final product is a beautifully crafted legacy film that preserves the essence of the person’s life and the memories they want to share with future generations.
Recording a legacy video is a collaborative process that requires careful planning, technical expertise, and, most importantly, a deep respect for the stories being told. From the initial meeting to the final edit, our team is dedicated to creating a timeless treasure that will be cherished for generations to come.
