Standard Package
What’s Included:

• 2 hour interview (or 3 hours if it's a couple). I will schedule a time that's convenient for your loved one and I will discuss the focus of the interview with you beforehand. I’ll use my extensive list of questions and customize the interview for each person. I will bring a professional videographer with me to the interview at your or your loved one's home, enabling the videographer to capture the best video and me to focus on the interview. We will bring extra lighting and utilize a lavaliere microphone to capture the best sound.
  
  
• DVD of the interview. I will then edit the interview using professional editing software on my Mac, add photos and chapters, and provide you with two copies of the DVD in a timely manner.

Interview Focus and Sample Questions

• Family History (stories of parents, grandparents)
• Childhood
• College and Military (if applicable)
• Career (if applicable)
• Love and Marriage
• Family - Children and Grandchildren
• Miscellaneous Questions and Advice

If both members of a couple are still alive, I interview one person and cover his or her family history, childhood and career/military. Then I interview the other person individually covering the same topics. Then I bring the couple together and ask about their courtship, marriage, children and several interesting miscellaneous questions.

As a note – the voice of the interviewer will be on the video. When people respond to questions, they don't speak in perfect sound bytes so the interviewer's questions are necessary to understand the context of what the subject is saying.

Additional Fee-Based Services:

• More time than two hours of interview time (or three hours for a couple).
• Additional DVD copies (2 will be supplied).
• Travel to location beyond the Island of Oahu.
• Additional photos beyond the 10 included in the standard package.
• Transcribing the video and editing it into a book.
• Video footage of significant places (e.g., your home, church or business) or your loved one doing their favorite hobby (e.g., cooking, gardening or lei making).

 Please ask me about costs – they are reasonable and will ensure that you capture the stories now, before it's too late.
