Video Biography For Individuals, Families And Businesses

By Karina Frost


People write biographies to tell of their births, growing up and existence. Biographies are often written by the individual at some point in their lifetime. In a few other cases, they are often written by a different person. Biographies have for a long time existed in books only. However, with the advance in technology, video biography is used.

Video biographies are used to tell stories of life and experiences through documenting them in a video format. They may be about careers, or a variety of experiences and events in the life of the person. Convenience and easy accessibility is the reason why many people prefer recording their biographies. Hence, they may be auto authored or another person may write it just like the biographies in the book format. That is how it is possible to find the biography of Isaac Newton and Galileo among others online.

Through trying to understand where we have come from, we use bits of scattered and sometimes incomplete information. Usually, grand parents are also used as sources of information. Photos which unfortunately may not be dated are also employed. In desperate times, left behind journals or diaries are also used. However, these methods are laden with many limitations and therefore people have resulted to video to document their stories.

The process begins with identifying a company that offers the services of video documentation. Once this is done an appointment is scheduled and interviews organized. Individuals, families as well as businesses and foundations can access these services. Interviews vary on the people and the length but usually last up to two hours. The documentary has to be edited to remove information that is not necessary such as lengthy pauses or repeated information. Customization of colors and graphics is done based on the preference of the customers.

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.

The length and complexity of the documentary determines the price. If travel is included the price may even go higher. This should not however deter you as there are options for low budgets. DVDs that last long are used to store the documentaries. Whichever story you want to tell, choose an expert to record it.
