Making Memories that last a Lifetime

Lifetime Production offers a unique opportunity for families to preserve their cherished memories through professional interviews, capturing personal stories in stunning 4K video. With a convenient studio located in the energy corridor, we can either host you or bring our services to your home. Each package includes a shareable link for easy access and distribution, ensuring that your priceless memories can be passed down through generations.

We have explored the digital landscape with passion for recording lifetime stories

Creating a memoir alongside an audio recording is a wonderful idea, but complementing it with a high-quality video is essential. Decades from now, your great-grandchildren will not only hear your stories but will also see your facial expressions and mannerisms, capturing the essence of who you are in a way that written or audio recordings alone cannot achieve. This visual documentation serves as an invaluable legacy, offering a more intimate connection to your personality and experiences for future generations.

Creativity is in our
blood

Welcome to Lifetime Production!

Our studio is presently styled in a classic traditional decor. It features both light and dark individual seating areas, and we can accommodate larger groups if necessary. Should you find the style unsatisfactory or be unable to visit the studio, we offer an on-site service to come to your location. Please inform us of your preferences, and we will ensure your needs are met.

The Interview

Our videos usually last from thirty minutes to an hour depending on how much the speaker wants to share. We usually start chronologically with their childhood and move forward focusing on parents and other people with significant influence in their youth, home and life. We will provide a topics list for you to review before the interview and if you want to add any additional stories or important life memories, no problem. Share whatever you want with us and we will include it!

How it Works

Our work process

The process from start to finish

1.

Reservation

We are excited to support you in your journey and look forward to our upcoming interview! To ensure your spot is reserved, we kindly require a $75 reservation deposit at the time of booking. This deposit will be conveniently applied to your final balance, making the process streamlined for you. We understand that plans can change. Therefore, your deposit is fully refundable if you cancel or reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation, as it allows us to provide an efficient experience for all our clients. Reserve your time with confidence, knowing that we're committed to making your experience smooth and enjoyable. We can’t wait to meet you!

2.

Preparation

We will send a few basic questions to begin the process of thinking of the past and gathering memories and stories to share.  This allows one to start thinking about their past and maybe some good stories they want to share. Allowing the interviewee to diverge from the format encourages a more natural and genuine conversation, enabling them to share their stories in a way that feels comfortable and authentic to them. This flexibility can lead to unexpected insights and joyful moments, making the experience more memorable and impactful for the viewer.  We will always try to steer the story to be positive and upbeat making it easier for others to connect and engage with the story.

3.

Interview

Having a familiar face can really help ease any nerves and encourage a natural flow of conversation. Keeping it casual will likely lead to more genuine responses, allowing for a deeper understanding of their life and perspectives. Interviews tend to last 30 minutes to an hour and a half.  

4.

Delivery

We are committed to completing your video and will begin working on it shortly. Please allow us 7-10 business days for the final product. Once finished, we will mail your video and provide a private URL for you to share with family and friends. Thank you for your understanding!

Capturing family stories through video recordings not only preserves precious memories but also creates a lasting legacy for future generations. Encouraging others to take action now can help ensure that these valuable narratives are documented while loved ones can still share their experiences and wisdom. Organizing interviews, setting aside time for storytelling sessions, or even creating a family project around this idea can motivate others to start preserving their family histories before it's too late.

I agreed to do " Speaking Notes" with Lifetime Productions because I personally had very little knowledge of my extended relatives. My father was an only child and from a split family. My mother was from Canada and moved to the States. My parents did not talk about their families. I was left knowing very little to none about who was extended family. I wanted to leave something to my children, grandchildren that let them know my " story". By doing " Speaking Notes" it allowed me to say both what I wanted and needed to pass down. I felt very comfortable and relaxed and knowing I was able to express what was important with love and laughter. Thank you Lifetime Productions for giving me this opportunity.

I am so glad we have created professional memory videos for myself and my husband. My husband has been diagnosed with dementia and now he could never tell the story of his life with the same expression and detail as he did in his video. These videos will serve as keepsakes for our children, grandchildren, special events and our funerals. What a great idea to create a professional memory that captures both our personalities as well as our stories before we are no longer able to do so!

Jane Miller

Both my husband and I have done one of these videos so we have it to pass down to our children and our grandchildren. This is a way we feel like we can connect with them in the future when we are not there to answer all those questions that they may have. I wish that my parents and grandparents had done something like this so I could have it today.
