How to Film Your Life Story EBook – Testimonial
“Love the e-book and Masterclass. Beautifully delivered, great pace to understand, incredibly thorough, detailed and well thought out. This ebook and masterclass reignited my passion for collecting life stories and gave me the confidence to do it on my own. It is everything you will need complete your project from start to finish. Great introduction and really allows you to realise the true need to record these videos.
Thank you so much for making the process far simpler by setting out the pathway for others to follow and create a keepsake to cherish for generations to come.
The video is wonderful in giving you all the content in a very easy to digest format. It takes you through the chapters at a comfortable speed with many tips and hints to help you along the way. It’s like she is in the room with you talking you through every step!
Brilliant balance of professional tips alongside the more softer empathetic skills to use when working with people.
Lovely demo for editing the video too, which I have found the hardest part with my project.”

“My dad is a real character and storyteller, and with the passing of 2 of his siblings recently I was compelled to get his story telling recorded to keep as a family treasure.
Nicola worked very professionally to produce just that. She guided us through the process and has definitely captured the true essence of my dad in the quality videos she created of his life story. She went out of her way to visit his birth town to take photos to include in his video. I am very pleased I didn’t put off getting this done.
Now, whenever I am listening to dad recounting stories, I feel I can relax, knowing I have him recorded and that future generations will be able to learn more about the family. Nicola’s communication was excellent throughout the process and she worked with us patiently to finalize the edits. I highly recommend her work to anyone contemplating doing something similar.”

“I was so glad to find a company that made videos of life stories, as I had been keen to get my father-in-law’s childhood war stories documented.
Finding Nicola was a godsend and relief.
I was a bit nervous, but she was so kind and understanding and came up with lots of ideas to get what we could, despite Dad’s dementia.
We ended up with such a beautiful family momento that we gave to all the children and grandchildren. Also so nice to have something for future generations who may not even get to know him. We had a fun mix of facts and stories, photos and humour that I think it captured his true personality.
Future generations will never comprehend what his generation went through or how times were so different so I’m so happy to have the video forever We are going to get Nicola to make a video of my own parents next. ”

In the above video, Dave shares his experience of working with Moving Memories. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and had wonderful stories from his early life in a remote part of Northland to his young adult life in the lower North Island and his long career with NZ Railways. His Moving Memories life story video is something he wanted to create for his family, and it’s certainly one they all loved watching together at a family reunion.
Thanks for sharing your story Dave – it was a lot of fun getting to know you and special thanks to all your family too for their wonderful feedback on the video. “Ka pai choice!” as you would say.

“When my daughter first mentioned she was giving me a video recording of my memoirs, I was less than happy as I had recently completed a casual but complete written Memoirs of 92 years my life [and family] and could not see the point.
However, I was eventually persuaded to give it a go.
From the very 1st meeting with Nicola and Jack, I was blown away with the concept and, as the process continued, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The subjects for filming were very innovative, and the questions sometimes a bit out of the blue, requiring instant answers that sometimes were unexpected. The inclusion of my and family photos were a great asset and the resulting video is brilliant.”

“I arranged for Nicola to do a Moving Memories video with my Nana who is in her late 80’s so the family would have a memento. It was such a lovely experience and with my Nana’s health deteriorating lately we are glad we caught her life stories when we did. I would recommend Nicola and Moving Memories to anyone – it is so special to capture the person’s story in person and have their voice.”

“I was very nervous before the video, thought I would cry, BUT, didn’t so that was a plus. I found you to be so supportive, and put me at ease, so I felt that everything just flowed. So a big thank you, plus the family have enjoyed it.”

“My 88yo mother lives in Blenheim and we arranged with Nicola to create a memory video remotely. My Mum is not too bad with technology, however, Nicola made it even easier for her and resulted in a highly professional video which has been shared with Mum’s children across multiple countries. Highly recommend this service.”

“So to be fair I really did this as Nicola asked our women’s network group for volunteers….so I put my hand up 
– a person that hates photos and hate seeing myself on video. So although I wasn’t nervous, I was intimidated by the thought. But Nicola was amazing to work with and apart from my hair not co-operating with me… it was an amazing experience…. I scrapbook and think this is one step way better because when you get or give one of these special videos, it’s the person talking. Forever a moment that lives. Forever their memories remain.
Kids are fascinated with YOUR past and history and no story isn’t worth talking about. So huge, huge, huge thank you to Nicola for asking for people and accepting just one of my many, many stories.”

“Wishing you all the best with this very special business venture Nicola. The video you made with our Dad capturing his childhood memories weaving in unseen photos, and stories, is a taonga our whānau will treasure forever. A special bonus that he agreed to you filming him playing the guitar while singing his favourite waiata.”
