Question? I have answers!
Are you able to travel?
I am located in Pittsburgh, I will travel within a 2 hour range of the region without additional fees. Outside of 2 hours may require additional travel expenses.
Is pricing flexible?
Pricing starts at $500 for the most basic package. Each project is highly customized, so pricing is as well. I can work on a package that works within your budget. I also offer payment plans. I require a 50% down payment at time of booking and the remaining balance is due before final video is delivered. I can offer 25% at booking, 25% on filming day and the remaining before final video is delivered.
Can we include photos?
What questions do you ask?
When do we receive the final video?
Yes! I encourage them. They help to tell the stories. 20 photos are included in the package. Additional photos will require a fee, depending on quantities. You can also include video clips, but they must be digitized prior to sending to me.
How do you send me the files? I use Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive to share files. To share the final video, I will send you a Vimeo link. You can watch and download an MP4 file on your computer or on a thumb drive to share with family. DVDs are no longer offered.
I ask questions about their family of origin, their childhood memories, and major life events. We also ask them to share life lessons they have learned or advice they have for future generations. I have a database of questions that I pull from once we have our consultation. You are also welcome to send me questions to use. Do you want the questions ahead of time? I do not recommend it, but if it helps with anxiety, I can share them ahead of time.
After filming day, please allow 4-6 weeks for professional editing of the clips, photos and music. It is a time-consuming process to precisely place the clips and audio so that it provides the most emotional impact!
