People have always collected memories of their family history,
storing hundreds of photographs and hours of home videos for the
future. These days with extended families being the norm, the
amount of material collected can be phenomenal. Except for the
super-efficient, all this material tends to end up as a chaotic
mix of boxes of photos, piles of home videos and even ancient
cine films that no one can watch any more!
Well, help is at hand!
The urge to chronicle your past can now be simplified into one
beautifully crafted video or DVD, a concisely edited,
broadcast-quality
Living Portrait of
your family.

A Living Portrait
is a professionally produced DVD or
video, completed within four to six weeks, depending on the
amount of material supplied. The end product is a cohesive,
concise and expertly edited film of family history complete with
musical soundtrack chosen by the client.
“When we first thought of the idea, some people asked whether
they could actually be interviewed to appear in their own
Living Portrait, so we are now including that as an
option” said Mike Ford. “Imagine how precious it would be to
future generations to see their grandparents, or even
great-grandparents relating stories and anecdotes that otherwise
would be lost for ever”.
There is always an initial in-depth discussion with the client,
either at their home or at the Point of View office, so that
important highlights such as special birthdays, holidays and
anniversaries are featured in the Living Portrait
“The most important thing to remember is that every family is
unique and has its own special requirements for their finished
film, whether in terms of content, music or style. We are there
to listen, absorb their requests and provide our clients with
the same level of professionalism that we use to produce
programmes for television” said Emma Ford.
