Where is the filming carried out?  

We are happy to shoot interviews at your home, a location of your choice, or you can come to our base in Islington - a listed Victorian Dairy - where we will create a backdrop to reflect your style. We are happy to research and arrange locations for you if you prefer.

Do you need a lot of room for filming?  

Our kit is fairly compact by film crew standards.  We will have tripods and light stands to erect but ensure that we can safely move around without trip hazards.  We will require access to power sockets for L.E.D. lights.and other peripherals. The crew will be usually be one or two people to ensure the interview is relaxed.

How many people can be interviewed for a film?  

As many as you like!  There is additional charges for each person interviewed as this includes the additional time it will take to import the footage, go through it interview and select relevant comments which are then are crafted along with other interviews to tell the full story.
Is it possible to interview someone with dementia? 

Absolutely, I am very aware of the difficulties being interviewed can present - no least from my own father repeatedly taking off his microphone during his interview!.  I know everyone is different, but I would do my best to handle any difficult issues with sensitivity and patience. 

Is it possible to record Life Story interviews for two people in one day?  Generally I would expect two people could be filmed for their individual Life Stories Films in one day.   This would also provide a reduction in the total price. 
Can you use old home movies like Supper 8mm and VHS in the film?
Yes! We can transfer popular formats at our base for an additional charge.  We can then select clips to insert in the documentary and you will receive a memory stick with the complete films on in addition to your documentary.

Can you make films for other types of celebrations?  

I can make films for ANY occasion or event.   If there is a party involved, I can cover that, capturing the atmosphere and joy of the event, and use the accompanying interview/s to give it another dimension.   Bar Mitzvahs, Sweet Sixteens, 18th, 21sts, Weddings, you name it!

Can you make a retrospective tribute film to remember someone who has passed? 

Yes, we can interview the people who knew them best to ensure the stories and the impact they left on the world is not forgotten.   This would be illustrated with photos and videos to make a film which ensures the person not forgotten.

How much are the travel costs?

I travel by car to bring all of my filming kit so charge the standard mileage rate plus any additional charges including congestion, tolls or similar, and parking fees.  If it is not feasible to travel and film on the same day, I will need to book suitable overnight accommodation, which will be charged along with meals and travel time..

Can you travel abroad for filming? 

Yes, this is possible.  Additional costs and travel time will be charged

Can we have our hair and make-up done?

Yes, I can supply experienced T.V. and fashion hair and make-up artists.

Do you have any ideas of how we could premiere the film?

You could hire our projector and pop-up gazebo - Pop-Up Picture Palace - see the tab on our website -to show it outdoors, or if you are looking for a location, look at Clapton Country Club.  Click here to see this great location and venue: Clapton Country Club You'll find excellent food and hospitality with the bonus of a large scale projector and screen in the main room.
