Legacy DoveHow it works
From first call to finished film
You don't need to know what to ask, how to film or what to say. We guide every step so the person you love can simply be themselves.
A free 15-minute call
Tell us who the film is for and what matters most. We'll recommend the right package. No pressure, no obligation.
Gentle preparation
We send simple questions ahead of time. Nothing to memorize and no speech to write. Photos are welcome but never required.
Recording day
We come to a comfortable place, usually their own home, and guide the whole conversation. Most people are surprised how easy it feels.
Your finished film
We edit with care and deliver a high-quality digital film your family can download, keep and share, usually within 3 to 4 weeks.
What recording day feels like
We arrive, set up quietly and spend a few minutes just talking. Then we begin. It feels like a good conversation with someone who's genuinely interested, because we are.
- We usually record in their own home, in a favorite chair.
- Professional lighting and clean audio, set up in minutes.
- Breaks whenever they want them. There's no rush.
- Family can sit in, or give them some privacy. Whatever feels right.
- Most sessions take about 1 to 2 hours, including setup.
What happens after
We edit the recording into a film with a clear beginning, middle and end, add music and any photos you've shared, and send you a draft to review. Once you're happy, we deliver the final film as a high-quality digital file you can download and keep, plus a private link that's easy to share with family near and far.
When time is short. If someone's health is changing, tell us on your first call. We can often record within days, deliver the unedited recording within 1 to 2 days and the finished film in about a week.
Start with a conversation
Every story deserves to be kept. Let's talk about theirs.
A free 15-minute call is the easiest first step. Tell us a little about the person you're thinking of, and we'll help you choose the right way to preserve their story.
