In pre-production, we meet and develop a rapport, providing a foundation for in-depth interviewing and for good service throughout the project. We also provide custom “memory prompt” materials tailored specifically for each storyteller. This ensures that we are fully briefed and that you are ready for production to begin.
In production, high definition, broadcast quality equipment, operated by expert video crews record your interview and related visual images. You and Julie have a relaxed, engaging conversation about your past, your values, your insights, your perspectives and any other subjects important to you. We don’t try to cover every single moment of your history – just those that mean the most. Sometimes these are the smallest details of experience. Other times, bigger milestones are featured. Usually both help us weave the fabric of your life story as the camera rolls. No two interviews are exactly alike. But they all reveal facets of life far more interesting than simple names, dates and events.
In post-production, all elements are put together with visual material such as photographs, existing video and film, documents, your surroundings, and footage we may record of people close to you. We edit these together with music, sound effects and graphics, contributing to a rich, vivid portrait. At the close of post production, we deliver your finished program on a digital file for you and others to enjoy for years to come.
