PREPARATION
What do I need to do to prepare for the day of filming?
Start by talking with your family and deciding which areas of life you’d like to focus on - specific stories, events, or experiences you want to be sure to include. If you’re a investing in a 'Full Story or Deeper Dive', also gather the photos, documents, or other items you’d like us to incorporate into your video so we can capture them during filming. Before your interview we will send you our ‘Prep Guide’ which will answer all your questions and concerns.
