Creating Your Legacy: A Timeless Treasure for Generations
Imagine holding a conversation with your grandchildren, sharing stories of your life, your values, and the moments that shaped you. At Legacy Media Productions (LMP), we transform these precious memories into a beautifully crafted legacy video, a timeless treasure your family will cherish for generations.
Our Personalized Approach: Your Story, Your Way
We understand that every life story is unique. That's why we offer a personalized, step-by-step process designed to capture the essence of who you are.
Phase 1: Discovery & Planning
Begin with flexible 15-minute meetings with your dedicated Story Director and Producer. These collaborative sessions allow us to uncover your narrative. We'll delve into the rich tapestry of your life, exploring key events, relationships, and defining moments. Think of it as a guided conversation, where we help you weave together the threads of your personal history. We will explore themes and insights such as…
Your Life's Journey: From childhood memories to career milestones and beyond.
Family Connections: Exploring your family history and the traits you've inherited and passed on.
The Impact of Time & Place: How historical events, cultural shifts, and geographical locations have shaped your experiences.
Your Inner Self: Reflecting on your values, passions, and life lessons.
We'll also work together to select meaningful photos and home videos that complement your story. We'll discuss which stories are best captured on video and which are better suited for a book, considering options for showcasing your hobbies and interests.
Flexible Engagement: We understand that creating a legacy is a significant undertaking. You can engage in as few or as many sessions as you like, with the option to pause and resume the process at any time and no obligation to proceed with the shooting.
Phase 2: Production
Capture Your Essence: Our expert Director of Photography and crew will come to your home or a location of your choice for a full day of filming. The Story Director will guide you through an interview-style format, ensuring your story is told authentically and engagingly. We can also capture "action shots" of you enjoying your favorite hobbies, bringing your passions to life.
Professional Team: Our video production team includes:
Story Directors
Directors of Photography with professional cameras and lighting
Sound Directors with professional sound equipment
Camera Assistants
Producers
Optional Enhancements: A professional makeup artist is available for an additional fee.
Phase 3: Post-Production
Crafting Your Masterpiece: Our skilled editors will weave together your interview, visuals, and music into a compelling narrative. You'll have two opportunities to review and refine the final cut, ensuring it perfectly captures your vision.
Personalized Touches:
Music Selection: Your assigned musician will choose from our curated music catalog (included) or you may opt for a custom composition or licensed music (additional fees apply).
Additional Cuts: For an additional fee we can create variations of your video for specific audiences (e.g., funeral tributes, personalized messages for descendants).
