Celebration of Life Videos: Bringing Memories Back to Life
Funerals can be more than just a goodbye. They can be meant to capture the wonderment of those we've lost. We can make your photos breathe again. If I visit someone for the last time, in their remembrance, grief is already present. A Celebration of Life video can fill a room with laughter and love while telling a story to last for generations. Imagine sitting at someone's ceremony as music and a traditional slideshow play. You'll remember the person and some of the photos but not necessarily feel their story. Our Celebration of Life videos are more like a movie. This video (playable below) wasn't made for a customer. Its characters don't exist and never have. Story Visualizers never referenced a single photo. All imagination, and that is the point. We can and do use real photos for projects all the time. The canvas is yours and the painted watercolored sweet rain can flow just how you want it to.
Would this be a sort of paradox? Maybe it's not, and maybe more importantly, it fully conceptualizes a fictional demonstration of what's possible when real-life moments, photographs, memories old and new, and family legacy guide the way. We can bring the intended emotion out of the void. Give them something to see.
Story Visualizers loves to create the best of both worlds. Imagine a photo of a man standing beside a tall birdcage with its door open, and a yellow bird perched on his extended finger. If this were an example of a real photo (and it's not), we can preserve the memory beautifully as it is or create something inspired by the stories and memories you provide. Or we can give you both. Make the man laugh, make the bird fly, and anything in between there and anywhere.
Don't worry if you only have a few cherished photos. We're sure we can make those rare photos come to life in a way that'll make you feel as if a full gallery of moments were there all along.
Now add the music. Who doesn't deserve a personalized song that is truly meant to honor them? Everyone is one of one, and so is the music we make to go with your video. We'll write original lyrics and truly make something magnificent for your lost friend or family member. What's the emotion that suits the atmosphere best? Let us know. What are some lyrics you'd like to include in their song? It's fine if you're not sure what to include. That's what we're here for. Tell us their story.
Story Visualizers produces musical scores from any genre or style and from any time period with or without lyrics. During production, we constantly ask ourselves, "Does this send an appropriate message, and does it sound great?" Appropriateness sometimes brings with it a fine line. We are committed to listening to you first and then asking questions about the person who has passed on if you're willing to share the information. We will respect your privacy and do our best for you with time-sensitivity.
So, Celebration of Life videos vs. memorial slideshows? It depends. One is definitely less expensive. One can allow creativity on a whole other level. They aren't the same and they both can be created directly after losing someone, or years down the road. A video may be appropriate in one instance, and a slideshow more suited for the next. The best approach is probably a hybrid mix of photos and videos woven together just right.
No two stories are the same. No two Celebration of Life videos or memorial slideshows should be made with the same song and video templates. Story Visualizers wants to create the opportunity for you to relive beautiful memories.
This video is a love story...everyone has a love story. Applicable to infinity. (insert video) We invite you to watch it. Ask yourself: What if the couple in the video were skating down a sidewalk holding hands and they fell down at the same time as they laughed in the moment? If you watched the video, you know this didn't happen, but it could have. This is what we create.
Sometimes, lost memories can exist. What if that skating scene came from only 1 photograph? What if one photograph remains from a collection of five?
"Tell me how beautiful it isHelp me feel the warmth of graceyou know I want your voice, your warm hearts' glowWhat can be said, just let it flowI'd do anything for one last show"
Their presence will always remain. That's all until next time...Story Visualizers.
