“The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.” – Billy Graham

A video biography is more than a presentation, it is a timeless acknowledgement of life for special family member, or business tribute, bringing storytelling to the next level. This results in a truly distinctive, professional video keepsake which can be viewed for generations to come.

Fusion Graphic Consultants offers you the opportunity to create your family or business legacy video with your loved ones. Clients will have the ease of making convenient appointments to spend as little as a couple hours reminiscing about their life’s stories, or stories of their business/es. This is a great way to preserve valuable achievements and memories!

We provide and utilize key questions to help you with this process. After filming, you will receive a physical copy of the final edited video (USB stick), as well as a download link to the high definition video file. You can use this file however you would like.

FAQ

You can expect to spend 2 hours total. The interview takes about ½ hour. Shooting extra footage takes an additional ½ hour, set-up and tear down 1 hours. We will shoot at a location of your choice (your home, assisted living).

You will simply fill out a quick questionnaire. This will help us ask the right questions and not miss anything that is important to you. It will also avoid asking about things you would rather NOT discuss. There is nothing for you to write or rehearse. Think of this as a “conversation” rather than a formal interview.

No! You may choose to celebrate someone else’s life legacy. We also encourage organizations and business owners to showcase important stories, products, processes, services, or the history of their company. For example, you might want a documentary style video about your career achievements which could also serve as an advertisement for your company. Regarding family videos, you might choose to be interviewed about your spouse and what they have meant to you (great for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Anniversary). You may even want to speak directly to your children and grandchildren as a tribute to them.

Turn-around time is typically two weeks.

We will ask you to provide photographs (printed or digital format) that reflect what we are going to talk about. For example, you might be asked to bring:

  • Important moments from your career life
  • Pictures of your family of origin
  • Baby pictures
  • Doing activities you love (like camping or biking)
  • Friends, kids, pets, other loved ones, etc
No need to worry! The time we’ll spend together is very casual and is more like a conversation than a formal interview. You will NOT need to rehearse. Our skilled editors know how to eliminate stumbles (even “ands” and “ums”) to create a seamless and nearly flawless delivery.

We make it as simple as possible for you to use, and share your video with others for generations to come!
