We are unbelievably grateful for the video that Family Legacy Video created for my father’s ninetieth birthday.  My husband and I have commented that giving Dad the video history of his fascinating life is among the most important things we have ever done — for us, for him and for our children. We were truly overwhelmed at the quality of what you produced.  From the careful creation of the questions you used to evoke Dad’s fondest memories and deepest emotions, to the amazing selection of maps, pictures, music and information you included, the video was worthy of the History channel or National Geographic!   Dad, with tears, could not stop thanking us for this gift.  He has had a need to tell his story for years; after watching the video, he was radiant with pride and satisfaction.  We feel that his legacy has been captured for generations to come and that we could not have given him a more meaningful gift.  In every way, this has turned out to be a wonderful experience for us, for Dad and for our entire extended family.

We were very pleased with every phase of the legacy video process. You were great and very helpful along the way. The crew who came to the house the day of the shoot were quite good at what they do, and they were fun people to have here. Out of all the material you had, we don’t know how you came up with such a well put-together finished product. We are very pleased, and, as promised, it is a great legacy to leave for our family. Thanks so very much, Steve.

I haven’t received my Oscar yet but everyone has enjoyed and complimented Charlie and me for our history! Not only family but neighbors too, who insisted on watching it.

I just watched my dad’s video and was very impressed. I know there was substantial editing, and it all came together beautifully. The photos were such a nice addition to the narrative.  The sound and lighting were perfect as well. I am so happy to have this history preserved, especially now that there is a little one on the way to appreciate it. One of the hidden benefits of this project was the search for family photos to include in the video. I really enjoyed looking through them all with my parents, and labeling them for future generations. What a treasure! I am so glad we did this now. My father has been so inspired that he has taken on a new project – he found boxes and boxes of slides in the basement of his Illinois home and has been scanning them. He’s really enjoying it and it’s been great to see those old photos too.
