What is a Living Journal?

Family Pictures

Living Journal is your memory preservation specialist. Our aim is to capture your life experiences, counsel, and most memorable stories in a professional DVD production that your family and loved ones will “treasure” for generations to come.

Think of all of your family members and loved ones that have passed away. Wouldn’t you love to hear their stories, see them again, and let your children get to know them as well as you remember them? That opportunity might be gone for them, but those family members, friends, and loved ones that are still with us have much to teach us, and we much to learn.

Grandfather and a ChildDon’t let just a memory live in your mind; capture their lives on professional film that can be enjoyed on DVD, iPod, personal blogs, and family archives for generations to come! Your children and grandchildren will have the opportunity to get to know them and listen to their counsel just as you have. Preserve your personal history with a Living Journal.

What is in the Presentation?

When placed in a DVD player or computer, your Living Journal will start off with a personalized DVD menu with pictures and background music that allows for the selection of different areas of the film.

Still pictures can be integrated into the film with narration or as a separate slideshow with background music. Pictures of you and the places you have been will set the tone of the film, and give the viewers a better understanding of your life.

The heart of the project is a documentary of your life told by you, in an interview setting (or any way that you deem comfortable). It will include stories and experiences from different aspects of your life such as, but not limited to: childhood memories, marriage, family life, hobbies, recreation, religion, counsel and advice. This is all caught on high-quality professional film in a setting that is comfortable for you. Typically, some of the best settings for this type of a project are your home, a park, or an area of particular fondness, such as a church or other historical building. These interviews give the viewer insight to your character, way of life, and disposition. It gives you the opportunity to pass along the traditions of your family, counsel to your loved ones, and a living memory of who you are for future generations.
