1. What is an Heirloom Video Biography?
An Heirloom Video Biography is a custom designed DVD production that tells the story of an individual, family or event. Biography productions are created from any combination of pictures, video, animation, on-camera interviews and voice over narration. They can be as simple as a photo montage with music or as exciting as a Biography Channel-style documentary.
2. What do I need to do get ready for my Heirloom Biography project?
The first step is to give us a call and set up an appointment so we can talk about what options are available to perfectly meet your vision, timeline and budget. Once we’ve determined exactly what you want, we can assist you to easily select the various elements you will need to create your project. If you need special scripting for a concept you have in mind or custom video footage, we can work with you to plan that as well.
3. How long will it take to complete my project?
Every Heirloom project is custom designed and produced to meet your needs and to capture the spirit of your event, so there is no standard time. We will move heaven and earth to meet your timeline. That said, we can only produce so many projects each year, so it’s best to get on our schedule as early as possible or you may miss out.
4. How Much does it cost?
Since each project is created to meet your needs, the cost of an Heirloom Biography varies depending on the size of your project. We would be happy to talk with you about your event and give you an estimate.
5. What kinds of media can I use in my video biography?
We can incorporate almost any media in your productions. Photographs, slides, home movies VHS, digital pictures. Even items such as diplomas, newspaper articles, mementos or craft items.
Please Note: While 8mm moves in cassette form can be easily incorporated into your production, older 8MM films on reels will first have to be transferred to VHS or DVD. This will involve an additional charge.
