Video Biographies: You can star in the story of your life!
MINNEAPOLIS, MN August 5, 2003 ? ?I think everybody has a story worth telling,? says Kevin Michael Norberg, a local professional videographer. ?So I?ve made it my job to film a person telling the stories of their life. I call them Legacy LifeStories.?
Since most people feel the overwhelming desire to leave a legacy, Norberg has set up a business, The Legacy Project, to record their personal and family stories on video. Instead of taking on the task of writing an autobiography, Norberg makes it a lot easier by simply interviewing people in their own homes or offices for a couple of hours.
Once Norberg has his camera, lights, and microphones set up in a client?s living room or office, he starts his interview. ?I have about 300 questions that help people remember their past,? comments Norberg. For example in the ?Teen Years? section of his interview he asks questions like: ?Who taught you how to drive a car? Tell me about your first car. Were you involved in high school sports??
Although he has over 300 questions, most people only get asked about 50 in the two hours it takes to cover the important stories of a person?s life.
?During the interview, people are shocked at how much my questions help them remember,? Norberg says. ?I also enjoy the part when couples tell how they fell in love and got married.?
After the interview is over, Norberg takes his equipment home and edits the interview to about an hour. Within a few weeks he returns with the finished video and usually a few copies for the stars to share with their children and extended family. These videos, including photos and even movie clips, become instant heirlooms and are cherished by both the LifeStories stars and their fans.
Norberg?s Legacy LifeStories personal and family video histories have been helping people preserve their heritage and stories in an easy and affordable way.
