Why film it
See the smile before the punchline.
Audio keeps the voice. Film keeps everything else. The way their eyes light up at an old memory. The hands that move as they talk. The look away when a story gets hard.
Nothing is scripted and nothing is staged. It is them, exactly as they are, captured for the people who will miss them most.
The process
From first chat to finished film
Adam has filmed hundreds of family occasions, so he knows how to put people at ease. Most people forget the camera is there within minutes.
