Creating a talking story

The meeting is normally a full afternoon or morning and the videotaping is generally a 2 hour process with plenty of
time for breaks. Family pictures and keepsakes are a great addition to the video and can be part of the filming or added
later in editing. We also suggest you loan us some favorite music to be added as appropriate.
