Legacy Videos: The Production Process
Every project starts with the Planning:
Once the deposit is received, we’ll begin the detailed planning process. This includes more than just selecting a date and time. You’ll receive a carefully designed questionnaire to help identify key topics and personal stories you’d like to highlight. Using this information, we’ll create a loose script that guides the conversation naturally — ensuring all meaningful moments are captured without feeling rehearsed. We’ll also gather additional content, such as photos, memorabilia, or old videos, to enrich the final production and trigger heartfelt memories during the interview.
The Production day:
We believe in capturing stories in the place where people feel most at ease — whether it’s a home, apartment, or any familiar setting. Unlike larger teams, we work with a small, personal crew to ensure the process remains intimate and respectful. Upon arrival, we take time to connect with the person we’ll be interviewing. While we set up the equipment and adjust the lighting, we encourage a few moments of relaxed conversation to help everyone feel at ease before the interview begins.
The interview:
While we work with a loose script to guide the conversation, we encourage improvisation. The interview process is more like a relaxed chat, where off-script questions are welcome, and we never interrupt. Our goal is to create a meaningful, lasting memory without a specific agenda, allowing everyone to feel natural and at ease.
In addition to the interview, we can film candid b-roll of your family interacting, as well as showcasing treasured memorabilia, photos, or keepsakes. These personal touches enrich the video, adding emotional depth and bringing your family’s story to life.
The Editing:
Video editing for legacy projects typically takes 70-150 hours. While we work on the full edit, you can order a 60-second highlight reel to share with your family members and friends. After the director’s cut, you’ll review the video for approval. The final video will be available for download. If preferred, we can provide the video on a USB device for an additional cost. Turnaround time varies: simpler legacy videos are ready in a few weeks, while more complex documentary edits require more time. So be patient, please!
