A Family Legacy video is a videotaped interview of a person or a couple talking about their life, their family history, their stories, and/or their memories of certain elements of their life.

The interview may be conducted by a family member who is also videotaped, or it may be conducted by an unseen interviewer.  The setting for the videotaping should be a comfortable place where the lighting is good.  It may take place in the subject’s home, in a hotel room, outside on a porch, under a tree, or in any other comfortable place.

When the videotaping is complete, the interview is later made into a movie which may contain music, titles, and photos if desired.  There could be lots of editing required, or very little.

Each video is customized to the subjects being interviewed and the objectives of the interview.  When all the editing is finished it is burned to a DVD,  with copies made, if desired,  for various family members.  Sometimes the copies are ordered for Christmas or birthday gifts.
