Mothers and fathers...
How quickly these loved ones travel through our lives. But how faded our memories become over the years.
What would it be worth for you to hear the sound of your beloved grandmother's voice and watch her as she tells you about her childhood or the days of your father's youth?
How valuable would it be to have the chance to share your philosophies of life and give advice to your children long after your gone?
Those opportunities would be priceless, right?
Good News! We are going to share our 20-plus years of experience of producing Life History Videos to help you create and archive these treasured memories in our new ebook, "How To Create Life History Videos".

It seems a safe bet to say the speed at which life moves will continue to accelerate. Families will continue to become more mobile and fragmented.
Rarely is there an argument about the need for personal "roots" and meaningful family contact.
Almost everyone agrees, especially as they mature that our children need an awareness and an appreciation of the great shoulders upon which our families and our society have been built.
Not just the famous, but also those within our own families who have much more directly created the environment in which our children will grow up.
Just take a look at the upsurge in genealogical interests.
With as much energy as we use looking back, we must realize the need to look ahead and allow our children's children through us, to know their past, their culture and the values that are the hallmark of their heritage.
This is our responsibility, not theirs.
A Big Leap From Photography - Life History Videos
Pictures convey only a hint of the personality of a person. Life History Videos are a quantum leap from the technology of photography.
Unlike any time before, we are the first generation with the ability to preserve not only the smile, but also the laugh. Not only a look, but the thinking and feelings it represents.
We can literally talk to people beyond our lifetime.
There will be lots of home movie footage of birthdays and anniversaries, but how often do we sit down in front of a camera and talk about what made us who we are? What we'd like to pass along? What we feel and believe?
Sadly, this rarely happens.
Better Than A Biography? We think the ultimate way to convey these stories is to have them told by the person who lived them.
With a biography, you'll miss all those wonderful personality traits that are as important as the stories themselves.
Better Than An Audio Recording? Certainly you can use an audio recorder. In fact our interview could be used to create an audio recording, but I have found that in virtually all cases, people would prefer to watch a video rather than just hear someone talking. So much can be missed. Better Than Writing An Autobiography? Some of us have asked our loved ones to write their stories out. This can take a long time and many never finish the task. A professional can help write these stories, but their mannerisms and expressive habits will be forgotten.
We're going to tell you how to get these stories in one afternoon with your own video camera.
You will be taken step by step all the way from deciding who will be your first subject through archiving these family treasures.
By following our time-tested interview, you'll be relaxed and confident throughout the process. And because you'll be organized and thorough, your subjects will find this fun, easy and interesting as they talk about the remarkable moments of their life.
Order now and receive 12 Important Bonus Forms, ready to be printed and used as you get ready for your first interview. This additional information is crucial in preparing your subject to give you their best stories during the interview.
These forms include the all-important Life History Video Interview, answers to the most Frequently Asked Questions and more.
Also included are 4 Bonus Chapters to help beginning videographers get up to speed quickly. We cover the equipment you need, shooting basics, lighting and more.
Once you learn the information contained in our bonus chapters, people will be amazed at the quality of your finished Life History Videos, even those of you who have never worked with video before in your life.
Whatever your level of expertise, we'll make sure you know what to do and when.
What we have learned from conducting Life History interviews in a number of settings over the last several years is priceless information you won't find anywhere else.
A Timeless Family Keepsake By following our easy steps to creating Life History Videos of your loved ones, you can listen to and watch your grandparents talk of their earliest childhood memories. Watch them react as they speak together of their courtship. Our interview is designed to cover these and so many other important life moments. We take the guesswork out of the entire process.
What an incredible way to share your spiritual beliefs and love for your children, and they can share this priceless wisdom with their children. The possibilities are endless!
We will show you how to permanently record these memories based on our personal interview (every question of this interview is discussed in the book and included in the bonus materials), which has been developed over time and refined for over 20 years.
In fact the entire process has been psychologically designed to get not only the best stories from those you interview, but make it a fun and memorable experience for them too.
" I know of nothing else... no photo albums or family videos that put it together like Life History Videos." Tim K.
The video camera is amazing at picking up those one-of-a-kind traits that make your loved one so special. A deep hearty laugh, or just watching the way they tell their stories, as much as the stories themselves.
