Forever Legacy Videos
How do we start?
Email us at info@foreverlegacyvideos.ca to schedule a complimentary appointment to meet and explore your legacy video ideas and address any inquiries you might have. Include your preferred time of day for a call.
We'll arrange for you to meet over Zoom or phone with Sean Danby, our producer and editor, to discuss your video ideas and set a date to record.
How do I book my videography session?
A 50% deposit is required to secure your session once your recording date is confirmed. When your video is finished and approved, you will be invoiced for the remaining balance to be paid before delivery of your final Forever Legacy Video.
We accept PayPal, VISA, E-Transfers and Money Orders.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel the shoot?
Rescheduling is never a problem. We retain the original deposit as your project moves forward.
Cancelation at least 14 days prior to your filming date will result in a full refund. Any cancelations made less than two weeks in advance will result in a $250 administrative fee that will be withheld from your original deposit.
Where does filming take place?
Your convenience is our priority. We understand the importance of capturing your special moments in the most relaxed and natural setting possible. That's why we bring the recording studio to you, ensuring you feel your absolute best during your Forever Legacy Video experience.
We are thrilled to serve clients within Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). For those outside these areas, please do not hesitate to reach out and inquire about pricing for long-distance arrangements. Wherever you are, we are dedicated to making your recording experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible.
What should I say in my presentation?
Think of your presentation as a "letter", addressed to whomever you wish.
We recommend that you go over your presentation(s) as often as you are able in preparation of filming. The more comfortable you are with your words, the better you will look and sound.
That said, maybe you'd like to deliver a non-scripted video? Or, maybe you want to read a bedtime story or share a secret recipe for future generations? It's all up to you. We can discuss your ideas over our initial complimentary Zoom call.
Do I need to memorize my presentation word for word?
If you would prefer to deliver a scripted message, our teleprompter can help you stay on track and ensure you don't miss important points. It's particularly useful for longer messages, where memorization might be challenging. Included with each package.
Can I include my photos and home videos?
Yes! Enhance your Forever Legacy Video with a personal touch by incorporating your beloved family photos and home videos at NO EXTRA COST. This way, your heartfelt messages will be beautifully complemented by the visual essence of your family's precious moments.
NOTE: Analog-to-digital transfer fees not included. Our rates are based on your files being delivered digitally and ready to edit. This includes videotape, photos and film transfers. Please inquire.
How do I choose photos for the Memorial Video?
When faced with a daunting task like sorting through countless photo albums or digital images, it's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed. Making decisions about which photos to keep can feel like an impossible feat. However, here are some gentle guidelines that might make the process a bit easier for you:
First and foremost, take a moment to reflect on your loved one's life and the themes that truly encapsulate who they were. Each photo you select should resonate with one of these themes. Consider images that:
- Capture your loved one engaged in their hobbies, passions, and interests.
- Showcase their unique personality traits.
- Include snapshots from their childhood. While many in the room might not be familiar with these photos, they can provide a beautiful glimpse into a different aspect of your loved one's life.
- Feature moments shared with family, friends, or other important communities in their life.
- Highlight special occasions and cherished memories such as graduations, holidays, weddings, and births.
- Depict memorable vacations and beloved travel destinations.
Sorting through memories can be an emotional journey, but know that each photo chosen will help preserve and honour the legacy of your loved one in a meaningful way. The Memorial Legacy Video will not only serve as a touching tribute during the funeral service but also as a cherished keepsake for family and friends to revisit for years to come.
NOTE: Analog-to-digital transfer fees not included. Our rates are based on your files being delivered digitally and ready to edit. This includes videotape, photos and film transfers. Please inquire.
What do I receive?
You receive your Forever Legacy Video on a Memory Key, packaged in an elegant custom-labeled keepsake box. The video file is easily transferable to any of your digital storage devices.
