Here are some sample Story Productions I have created in the past.
Each one is unique for content and media.
Your family or personal story will also be unique to you.
Ruth Townsend’s Musical Journey
Ruth Townsend asked me to put together her musical story from age five to give to her grandchildren.
Shy prepared a short video introduction and we compiled photos, images, clippings, and video to tell her story.
I created a multimedia PDF that I put onto USB thumb drives in the shape of a piano that she put into a nice gift box for each grandchild.
Some of the grandchildren are now at college and have the story pianos with them.

Felicity Morgan Family Stories
Felicity Morgan wrote a memoir about growing up in Victoria, British Columbia.
We combined video, photos, text from the memoir, and her daughter Ann reading the memoir as a Story Production website.
Robert Hollender Book
Linda Hollender commissioned us to capture her father’s life story. We usually shot videos, but Robert was reluctant to speak on camera.
Instead, we used a microphone and a smartphone to record his story, which we transcribed and assembled into a book with photos that he gave away to friends for his birthday party that year.
Last year, Linda gave away copies at his memorial service.

The Rocket Norton Vault
I worked with Vancouver musician and author Rocket Norton for decades on many projects, including concert promotions, publishing his books, selling his How to Coach Baseball to Kids video course, and driving a Lincoln Town Car for his driving service.
Much of that I collected into a multimedia portal called The Rocket Norton Vault.
I also helped promote three cancer benefit concerts related to his battle with cancer. Rocket organized and performed at the first two concerts. The one this year served as a memorial.
I had the honour of creating a memorial video shown at the concert.
Preserve Your Personal and Family Stories
My encouragement is for you to capture the stories of your loved ones while they can still share. Our time on earth is fleeting.
You can start with taking photos, video, and audio with your SmartPhone at family gatherings. I have created videos on the process in the past and am working with new resources to help you.
I am also available to craft new and existing content into story productions.
Please make an appointment to discuss.
