Packages

All the video biographies include a personal pre-interview consultation to prepare the video "star" for their interview. Each client is provided a list of questions that we will ask and is encouraged to prepare notes in advance of the video interview. Likewise, all interviews will be burned on the highest quality DVD's so that they will last a lifetime.

There are three general packages to choose from. However, every life story is different. Therefore, while you read the information below, please keep in mind that we will work with you to make sure that your video memoirs are created to your specifications.

1. "My Life" Package 

The "My Life" package is a narration from start to finish. It is an up to three hour discussion between the star and the interviewer. Both voices will be heard on the video. No advanced editing is included, e.g., no photographs or video clips are edited into the biography. The result is a high quality video narration that your family will treasure forever.

2. "Documentary" Package 

The "Documentary" package is a more advanced production. Within the video, music, up to ten photographs and up to two video clips from family occasions, e.g., weddings, sport activities, etc., will be integrated into your story. In addition to the star, up to two other people can be interviewed to provide added information about the star's life story. 

3. "A&E Style" Biography Package 

This is a custom production. Someone who wants a truly custom job will want up to one hundred photographs and multiple video clips in their video history. Up to five additional people will be interviewed for inclusion in the final video. This will be a large scale production with multiple meetings to discuss preparation, development and final approval of the video. 

*Chicago Video Memoirs partners with Global Web Video and My Crazy Machine to conduct advanced editing.
