Family legacy videos can make a lasting gift to your family

We’ve produced a number of tribute videos in the past few years for nonprofit organizations and religious institutions. In the course of producing these projects, we’ve recognized that there is a growing interest among families to preserve the memories of their older members so that future generations can benefit from their wisdom.

You can see them here:

A conversation recorded on video, documentary style, with members of your family from multiple generations, interspersed with family photo album pictures, scrapbook mementos, and home movies can be a powerful way to add context and understanding to how your family’s traditions and stories came to unfold in the ways they do.

We produced a series of video slide shows recently as a tribute to late Cherry Hill resident Norman Stofman so that his grandchildren would have a lasting understanding of Norman’s life and the things that mattered to him. Eleanor Stofman, Norman’s wife, graciously allowed us to share some of these videos here as examples of how a family legacy video might look.
