Talkin’ Legacy Videos – Part 7
When it comes to Legacy Videos, you get what you pay for. In Part 7 of the “Talkin’ Legacy Videos” video series, Family Legacy Video’s Steve Pender details how the company’s devotion to quality factors into its current starting prices.
Every legacy video Family Legacy Video® creates is a custom production. The company works at a very high level to ensure that storytellers look and sound their very best. This includes makeup and taking great care with lighting and shot composition. In short, we do it right!
Family Legacy Video® never scrimps on an interview. What greatly impacts the final price is what’s done with that interview after it’s been shot. Simpler presentations mean less editing and a lower cost; highly-produced legacy videos require much more time and effort, resulting in a higher price tag.
Family Legacy Video® offers three starting levels: Q&A, Premium, and Deluxe. You can select one of these levels “as is” or modify it to meet your wants and needs.
Or, you can do something completely different!

Talkin’ Legacy Videos – Part 3
Why create a legacy video? The reasons can be many. Perhaps you’re a family elder and you want to pass along your life stories and values to your grandchildren. Maybe you’re an adult child of a parent or grandparent and you want them to pass along their stories to your children. If you’re business or family foundation is going through a generational transition, a legacy video is a perfect way to preserve, celebrate, and share your organization’s history and values. Whatever your reasons, Family Legacy Video® will work with you to craft a legacy video that fulfills your goals.
Talkin’ Legacy Videos – Part 2
So, just what is a “Legacy Video?” In Part 2 of the “Talkin’ Legacy Videos” video series, Family Legacy Video® President Steve Pender answers that question.
Think of a legacy video as a personal documentary. Family Legacy Video® uses all of the techniques found in big-budget documentaries. But instead of focusing on world events and famous leaders, a legacy video turns the spotlight on you and your family, your business, and/or foundation.
Legacy videos can be as simple or as highly-produced as your budget, and your wants and needs, require.
