ON-CAMERA FAMILY HISTORY VIDEO APPROACH

Rainbow Video takes great pride in making the process of capturing your family history on video as easy as possible.  We will guide you every step of the way.  For the on-camera video taping, we will provide a Producer who is skilled in the art of interviewing.  This will ensure that your family member is comfortable with the process and eager to relate his or her memories.  Here is how it works:

Pre-Production:
We will send you a list of sample questions designed to evoke stories and memories in order to help you prepare for the on-camera "interview".  We will also send you guidelines for selecting photos to be included in the final video.  

Production:
We will schedule up to 6 hours at your location which will include reviewing any pertinent information, photos, documents etc., to help you select the photos which will be the most appropriate for your video.  We encourage you to select old family photos of occasions or moments or people which relate to the history of the family.  We will then borrow those photos to scan and include in the video.  

When we do our video tape "interview" we  work with list of general questions designed to evoke memories and family history.  We encourage you to make your own list of questions that might prompt the telling of a favorite story.  

We will review the interview questions or "story prompts"  with the family member who will be video taped to ensure he or she is comfortable and ready to be on camera.   We will video tape up to 2 hours. (total production time is one day = up to 8 hours portal to portal from Morristown, NJ)

Post Production Planning:
Rainbow will create “VHS window burn tapes” of all video taping.  These tapes have reference numbers at the bottom so that we can select the exact pieces you want included in your final video.  We will start with a meeting of up to 3 hours at our location to view the 2 hours of “time coded” video tape and select the pieces.  We will review photos to be included to make sure we know where they go.   At that point we can edit the video alone or you can schedule a session to work on it with us.

Post Production:
This package includes up to 12 hours post production time.  This time includes scanning photos and other flat art material (3 hrs.), animating your scanned flat art materials (3 hrs.), adding digital effects, adding any text graphics, incorporating any provided video tape, and combining it with the on-camera video and music from Rainbow’s library (6 hrs.). 

Deliverables:
We will provide you with 2 VHS copies p
lus a bonus CD ROM of all scanned photos and flat art documents.   We will also store a digital MiniDV Edited Master Video Tape in our library for safe keeping.
