A Video Biography is the Easiest Way to Preserve Your Family History

, I met an elderly couple who are planning an ambitious project recently, of love. You want a detailed family history book all the relatives they can remember and create all the stories connected with them. It will be nice ... Leather bound hardcover, with pictures and a large size, so that aging eyes have the ability, they will read. So I asked her if she hoped to be done with it.

'Oh God, we have not even started yet! "

Fair enough. As her research was progressing?

"Well, most of it is all in our head. And we have to go some old letters and pictures in the garage ... and other family members, with their pitch ... so everything is under control." She beamed back at me.

That's great. When was the last time that it searches through its collection of memorabilia to be examined, it was still intact? Was the font from the old letters still visible? Was the paper still in his hand? The photos were labeled by date and year, and the people there? Were they chronological?

It was about here that she looks me started with caution. Why was I so determined to rain on their parade?

I was not!

as a video biographer, I meet many interesting people. Ordinary people - like you and me - with extraordinary lives. People so smart that they know the value of family and personal experience - and the need to share with family and friends to appreciate too. People with well-intentioned plans and hopes to do just that ... document the memories of a lifetime. People who are inevitably busy life ... with the demands of work, at home, children and the elderly, making it very difficult to require that the time to extract to do just that. Thus even if it in my head, pushed every time something comes more pressure. We are all guilty of that - me included! And the inevitable regret, finds that a face when you finally made the time ... Remember if you slip, it is too late and the opportunity to record with someone talking about forever ... This is where the importance of documentation of a loved one dawns on us the story all too well.

Also, wenn ich die süße älteres Ehepaar mit meinen Fragen bombardiert wurde, wollte ich sie für sich selbst zu messen, wie sie bereit waren, ihre Familien-Chronik bis zum Ende zu sehen.

This is one reason why I consider really encourage them to get their biographies produced video - as well as their families. Because you only really need to keep free of one or two hours of the day ... to speak to a skilled interviewer who are interested in the drawing, the stories of your life. The fact that the interview is recorded on video, a bonus because not only is your voice caught, but then the image, body language, hairstyle, smile, family resemblance is ... so much more information to your core story. And after the conversation, you're done! It is the video biographers labor of love then to edit the interview, add photos, videos, oral recordings and family ... Burning DVDs and present you with a copy of your life. "Some go a step further and copyright them in your name so that you can be sure your private memories remain private and will not be transferred outside the family.

That's it. One to two hours of your time, and you have a family heirloom for forever. There family and future generations ... All of this, rather than regret for a lifetime!
