Celebration Video Tributes for Anniversaries, Events and Galas
|
Do you have a gala event, birthday, anniversary or other special event coming up? A tribute video makes an ideal and engaging center piece.
There is no better reason to create a tribute video, video biography or personal history video than for an upcoming gala event or birthday, anniversary or a family reunion celebration. |
|
We pride ourselves on meeting the special biography challenge of creating entertaining, funny and high energy video presentations perfect for large group and party viewing.
Our video tributes are thrilling enough to hold an audience's attention, yet substantial enough to serve as an enduring record of a valuable life. And we are flexible enough to produce and shoot the whole thing - or work in with your plans. |

Sample Tribute: Joe Polchinski
We were asked to create a tribute video for Professor Joseph Polchinski, noted theoretical physicist and string theorist. He is also a highly competitive athlete with many friends. Already highly accomplished and awarded, we ironically titled Joe's tribute: "Just Warming Up."
The project uses amateur video shot by friends, family and associates - blended with personal and archive photographs as well as some TV footage, graphics, text, voice over (you'll be astonished by the voice actor we used) and music. We provide guidance every step of the way. |
There are lots of ways you can put a tribute video together. Here are some of them:
A. Photos and Text Video Tribute: Gather photos and basic facts from the main periods of the person's life: childhood, family, school/college, early work life, romance, children (if any), success, friends, then wisdom and reflections. (You may need to make a few phone calls or send a few emails and you will need to decide if you want to keep it a surprise.) You can coordinate this gathering - or make us the "point person." We then do our design and editing magic and produce a rough cut for approval or further work.
B. Family, Friends and Colleague's Video:
Smart phones make it really easy for people to film themselves or each other talking about the subject. We can help by suggesting topics and questions (sometimes it's fun to have everyone answer one or two of the same quirky questions). We also have suggestions for best filming tricks with a smart phone. We then preview and assemble the material, transcode the video, restore the photos, process the other material and create the project! C. Professional Management: Some clients prefer a more polished tribute video project or want to make things easy for people so they ask us to film the interviews. (The Henry Segerstrom project - on the right - is an example of this approach.) For cost and efficiency reasons we try to film all the friends, family and colleagues on the same day. We also try to make things as simple and as fun as possible:

What a surprise! A gift of a tribute video. The greatest gift.
"It was easy. I called them up, e-mailed them some photos, they designed a DVD box with an inscribed blank disk and
we gave it to Mom at Christmas. She was completely thrilled. Jane contacted Mom later, they got together, and Your Story Here
put together a terrific personal history tribute. I just wish I had done it for my Dad before he passed."
(Todd Doney, Vice Chairman of C B Richard Ellis Brokerage Services, Los Angeles)

You may have someone in mind whose birthday or anniversary is coming up or may be about to be formally honored.
Maybe you are thinking of a gift for the Holidays.
"My son gave me a video biography gift box for Christmas. I was thrilled." (Alyce: Arcadia)
With 3 or 4 photographs, and just a day or two, we can create a stunning and unique DVD and USB box that is perfect to give as a gift.
Imagine your loved one's surprise!
Inside the box we place an individually inscribed disk with a special greeting from you. We will then work with the subject to complete their story.
