Video Biography For Individuals, Families And Businesses

By Karina Frost


Prominent people have often resulted to use biographies to tell their story of how they were born, grew up and lived. Mostly, a biography is written by the person while they are alive. In other cases, they are written by another person. Biographies have been in form of books for a long time. In recent times however, video biography is often used.

People tell their stories through video documentation in video biographies. These stories may include certain aspects of their lives or careers and other major experiences or events. Use of recorded biographies is important as it offers convenience and accessibility. Similarly to books-form biographies, those that are in record form may be auto authored or authored by a different person. In this case, recorded biographies of Isaac Newton and others who lived before this technological era are available.

In the process of understanding our history, we come across scattered and incomplete information regarding our past. Mostly, we often look up to our grandparents for stories. In other cases, there are old photos which however may not be dated. Journals and diaries or home movies left behind by others are also used. Due to the shortcoming of these options, video is the best way to document history.

When seeking to create a personal documentary, the process begins by choosing a company that is able to offer these services. Individuals and families and sometimes businesses all have their own packages. Interview sessions vary in length but most are up to two hours long. When recording is complete, editing has to be done to remove unnecessary information such as pauses and repetition. It can also be customized depending on what you prefer.

Histories of family are very crucial for the current and future generations. They offer the generations in future an understanding of where they have come from and the values their ancestors stood for. For this reason, biographies made for the family have interviews from every one in the family as well as their photographs capturing highs and lows of their lives.

Individuals can also create their own personal documentaries. Different people have different stories to tell including those of love, war and career. When recorded, they can be stored and used later as a memoir or gifts to people. Most importantly however, is that they can be handed down to future generations. Personal stories are meant to inspire but may also be used to earn money when they are sold.

Businesses are also not to be left out in documenting their stories. These stories may be milestones such as launching of new products, expansion and even relocation to a new city. It may also be for the employees to tell their experiences at the company through out its existence. After recording, they are archived for use by the company in future as a memoir and to remind them of their history and achievements across the years.

There are different prices for the recording depending on how long and complex the story is. Out of town travel to record may also increase the prices. There are however, cheap options that are available for those with low budgets. This information is stores in DVDs that have a long shelf life. They may be custom printed based on what you prefer.
