How it works:

Legacy Films will work alongside you and your loved one throughout the entire process.

Step 1 - Contact Us: Contact us (link) and let us know you’re interested in capturing your loved one’s stories. 

Step 2 - Pre-Shoot Consultation: We’ll reach out and schedule a virtual or in-person meeting with the James Netz Photography crew to learn more about the upcoming project. During this meeting, we will set an interview date, discuss important topics, and go through the prompt list.

Step 3 - The Shoot: Plan for around four hours of filming with your loved one. Having you there to guide your family member through the questions will help improve the quality of the overall video. We will work with the interviewee to make sure they feel comfortable every step of the way. This is their time to shine!

Step 4 - Post-Production: At this point, you can expect a 4-week wait as we edit the video before delivery.

Step 5 - Delivery: Every customer will receive digital downloads but you can choose to add on physical copies of your video to share with the rest of your family for years to come. Let us know if you’re interested in receiving DVD/Blu-ray copies of your film!

Step 6: Share the video with your friends and family for generations to come.

Testimonial:

“I would like to thank James Netz Photography for capturing an incredible “Legacy Films Documentary” with my dad, Dan. James and his team were able to capture Dan’s responses to questions beginning with his childhood and progressing throughout his life. Dan’s family even learned things we hadn’t known previously about him and his life experiences.

Many of Dan’s 4 children and 11 grandchildren expressed how fortunate we are to have these memories captured. The spouses of Dan’s children mentioned how they would love to have interviewed their parents if still living and able. 

James and the team were easy to work with and accommodated our wishes regarding specific interview questions and post-interview editing of the video.  The entire experience was incredible and now Dan’s story is digitally captured for future generations of our family to enjoy. Thank you!”
