Located in downtown Ventura, CA and surrounded by scenic mountains and near the beach, BEST VIDEO BIOGRAPHY specializes in using photos, video interviews and archival media to tell your story in a way that inspires and engages audiences.
To be sure, there are important technical skills that are vital to high-quality heirloom video or family history film. Some of those skills include lighting, audio, narration, use of video cameras, composition, video editing, converting old media to digital media, as well as technically and aesthetically harmonizing very different types of media into one film.
However, what most veteran producers will highlight as the single most important aspect of great film making is the timeless power of good “storytelling.”
Storytelling involves crafting an event, a period of time, a lifetime, or even a family history into words, sounds, music, images, video and narration as a means of education, entertainment, cultural or legacy preservation, instilling moral values, as well as personal or family philosophy.
Crucial elements of stories can be illustrated by old photos, home movies, newspaper articles, trophies, and any memorabilia, expertly combined with professional video interviews and related photos or videos of important items that support the story.
The award-winning producer and associates of BETTER VIDEO BIOGRAPHY are experts at the technical details. But we intimately understand that it’s the “story” that best communicates your message and we are uniquely experienced and qualified to bring out the best of the “story” in your family and life.
