Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to memorize my answers?
No, you
don’t have to memorize your answers, since that
wouldn't sound very natural during the interview. We can
stop and start the taping at any point, so there is no
pressure to “get it right” the first time. If
you don’t like a particular answer, we can re-take
your response.
What should I wear?
Choose clothing that is
comfortable but not too distracting to the eye. You will be
seated during the interview, so plan more for
“waist-up” appearance than waist-down.
Medium-tone colors such as light blue, soft yellow or
lavender, grey, tan or green would be fine. Busy patterns,
stripes or plaid, bright white or red fabrics, or
“statement” clothing with words should be
avoided. We will discuss your choice beforehand, but you
may want to have one or two alternates ready on the day of
your taping.
What should I have with me at the taping
session?
Gather whatever you’d like to show on
camera such as photos, awards, trophies, special jewelry or
other mementos. Also bring items that will help jog your
memory such as maps, journals or diaries, newspaper
clippings, books, letters, etc.
What about music?
Music adds an important dimension
to your video. We provide royalty-free music from our CD
library at no extra charge. As an option, we offer custom
soundtrack music for a more personal touch. We respect all
copyright restrictrions on recorded music. Please call us
for more details.
How long will the videotaping session last?
The
videotaping session will last anywhere from 30 minutes to
an hour or more, depending on how long you want your final
video to be. We will take breaks whenever necessary for
comfort or convenience. Unless other arrangements are made,
all videotaping will take place in one session.
How long will the final video be?
The final video
will depend on the length of the taping session and the
options you choose before we begin. Videos for businesses
or organizations may be shorter or longer depending on the
use.
How long does the editing process take?
Editing the
video usually takes from one to three weeks. You’ll
receive a proof copy to review for any changes. Final
videos are usually available about a week later. Start to
finish, the entire process usually takes four weeks or
less.
