Memories. They can fill us with joy and comfort us when we face the painful loss of our loved ones. Losing someone dear to us leaves an emotional void that yearns to be filled.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most families keep photo albums; a lovely way to capture events and memories for posterity. However, there are three problems with photo albums: First, they are static. There is no context or “story” behind the photo. Second, there is usually just one of them, so they are difficult to share. And lastly, they can be lost or damaged by water, fire or time. How can these memories be brought to life in a more meaningful and permanent way?<\/span><\/p>\n

Recording an oral history (sometimes referred to as a “Legacy Video”) allows family members to hear these precious stories with the richness, personality and humor that is missed in a photograph. Recordings can even be simply audio if a subject is reluctant to be recorded on camera. They can be as short as a 5-minute story such as how someone met the love of their life. Or they can be long-form documentaries that chart time and life events through decades.\u00a0<\/span><\/div> <\/div>

Chris Ryan will come with prepared questions to help prompt discussion. It can be with one person or a small group of people, but it works best when it’s one-on-one. The video can be recorded in the comfort of home where there are few distractions and lots of possible memories to discuss. Chris is extremely professional and flexible. Pre-production interviews will help everyone involved understand the process and bring up any specific areas for discussion. The videos are carefully edited to make sure everyone looks and sounds great, so you don’t have to worry about making a mistake. Chris has worked with aging parents who wish to record precious personal memories for descendants. He’s helped a young mother with a brain tumor who wanted to save recordings of herself for her children to enjoy into the future in the event she lost her cancer battle. Sometimes people even elect to include pets to immortalize their furry family member.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
