Changing Lives One Story At A Time
I shot a legacy video of my 82-year-old father in 2019 that changed my life forever. It was in that moment that I wondered why more families don't do this until I realized how much companies charge. So I developed my own way to make it affordable for more families without sacrificing quality.

- Can be done from anywhere in the USA

What Makes Heirloom Different?
Made It Affordable
Most families don't invest in a family legacy video because it's too expensive. Professional video production companies charge anywhere from $6,500 to $15,000 to create a family legacy video. We wanted to make this affordable so more families could do this. We cut 80% of the costs and maintained the quality using our own proprietatry remote video production process that uses smartphones.
Pleasurable Experience
Having video cameras, lighting, and a crew of 2 or 3 people can be very intimidating for your parent. With our solution, all we require is a smartphone and our 100% remote video production services. The entire process is more relaxing and intimate for your parents because there are no video crew in their house.
Easy To Enjoy
Who has the time or ability to watch a 45-minute video on a DVD? Instead, we edit each answer into a 2 to 10-minute video clip. This way, you can pick and choose the story you want to hear. Best of all, we don't leave anything on the editing room floor. A 2-hour interview results in 20 to 25 videos.
Watch Safely Anytime, Anywhere
To make it easy for you to enjoy and share the videos with family and friends, we include 2-months of FREE secure online video hosting. Watch the videos from your computer, tablet, or smartphone anywhere you have access to the internet. We also provide (2) two USB thumb drives so you also have a hard copy of the videos.
100% Covid-19 Safe
Our video production service is done 100% remotely so there is no in-person video crew. Additionally, all of our equipment is sanitized after each use to ensure your parents safety. B
No Travel Expenses
Professional video production companies are typically not located where your parents live. In addition to paying to create the video, you will have to pay for their airfare, hotels, meals, and any other travel-related expenses. Our process is 100% remote so there are no travel expenses. It also means we work anywhere in the US.
Legacy Video Examples
With over 25 years of professional video production experience and 4 years using remote video production, we have figured out how to achieve professional quality video and audio without the need for expensive video cameras, lighting and audio equipment. Seeing is believing so take a look at these clips from legacy videos shot 100% remotely.

Why Have Heirloom Create Your Legacy Video
There are 3 ways to create a legacy video. You can do it yourself, hire a video production company or use Heirloom.
Do It Yourself
You can certainly do it yourself using your smartphone. It will cost you nothing other than your time. The biggest challenge will be the interview because for many families, their parents live in another city or state. A neighbor of mine has been trying for 2 years. And let’s not forget you will need to learn how to conduct an interview, how to properly shoot video that looks and sounds good, and then you will have to learn how to edit video.
Hire a Video Company
By hiring a professional who know the video is going to look and sound great. The biggest issue here is it will cost you a minimum of $5,000. Not only will you have the cost of the video but they will also charge you for their travel expenses which could easily be another $1,000. And let’s not forget about the pandemic and having strangers in your elderly parent’s home.
Make It EASY!
Use Heirloom
With Heirloom you get the best of both worlds. You get access to video professionals but because we use a 100% remote production approach, we are able to offer our services for a fraction of what our competitors charge. And we can ensure the safety of your parents because there is no one coming into their home. And because this is done virtually, we can interview them anywhere in the country.

Easy as 1-2-3
Our custom Apple iPhone and remote video technology make recording a legacy video as easy as 1-2-3.
Power On Smartphone
Since most seniors don't own an Apple iPhone, we provide one for them to use. Our custom Apple iPhone is shipped fully charged so all your family member has to do is press the power button to turn it on.
Connect to WiFi
Our technology allows us to shoot professional quality video over the internet. Just connect the phone to your WiFi and you are ready to go. We provide step-by-step printed and video instructions to make this easy to do.
Click the App
Our custom Apple iPhone comes pre-configured with a simplified user interface so it is easy to find and launch our FREE app. This allows our remote video professionals to connect with your family member and conduct their interview.
Anyone with minimal technical knowledge can set up our video kit. If they can't, they can always ask a family member or friend to help them.
As a professional videographer, I have shot hundreds of videos, but none was as crucial as this one. For the next 4 hours, I interviewed my 82-year old dad on video, asking him questions about his childhood, his friends, his parents, growing up in NYC, going to college, meeting my mother, and so much more.
I was in tears when he finished. I had never seen this side of my father before. He shared feelings and thoughts about his life that I never knew.
The experience changed my life and that of my two brothers. We discovered things about our dad and ourselves that we never knew. I found the true benefit of a legacy video is how it builds richer, more meaningful relationships with our loved ones now while they are still here.
My name is David Vogel, and for over 25 years, I worked in Hollywood and New York City on feature films, documentaries, music videos, and national TV commercials. After creating my father’s legacy video, I decided to help other families make their legacy videos, but cost was a major problem. Professional video production companies charge $5,000, if not more, to create a legacy video, and that didn't even include travel expenses. I knew this was too much money for most families, so I set out on finding a way to make it more affordable.
In 2020, I developed a new way that replaces the in-person video crew with a virtual one. There are no travel expenses, making it available to families anywhere in the country. It also eliminates 80% of the cost. I love this work and the impact it is having on families. I hope you will allow us to interview your loved one. You will be glad you did.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the quality compare to a video created with an in-person video crew?
A professional, in-person video crew will be able to use professional cameras, lighting and audio so you will get the highest image and sound quality but you will pay 5 to 10 times more. Their pricing usually starts at $5,000 and can go up to $25,000.
The question is do you really need that level of quality? The optics and software built into today’s smartphones allow them to produce high quality HD if not 4K video without much effort. We use our custom Apple iPhone for our legacy videos and the quality rivals the quality we get from our professional video shoots. To maximize the image and sound quality, we also include a small tripod and wired microphone. Please take a look at examples of our videos above to see for yourself.
Is this safe during the current Covid-19 pandemic?
Our entire process is done 100% remotely so there is no human contact between your family member and our video professionals. For added safety, all our equipment is cleaned and sterilized between each use.
How long is the interview?
We offer three different packages. Our silver package includes a 2-hour interview, our gold package includes a 3-hour interview and our platinum package includes a 4-hour interview. For the gold and platinum packages, we can break up the interview into two sittings but need to be completed in one day.
What if I want a longer interview?
If you are interested in a longer interview, we can add additional hours to your package. Just let us know when ordering and we will let you know the additional cost.
Can we interview multiple family members?
If you would like us to interview both parents or grandparents, that is possible. We can interview them separately as well as together.
What are the life topics covered in an interview?
Each of us is different and have had different experiences in our lives. We can’t cover everything. So we offer a list with the variety of topics and you can select which ones you want us to cover. Most people take 10-15 minutes per topic so for a 2-hour interview, we cover 4-6 topics, for a 3-hour interview, we cover 8-12 topics, and for a 4-hour interview, we cover 13 to 17 topics. Below is a list of different topics we cover. You can also add your own.
- Immediate Family
- Grandparents & Relatives
- Childhood
- Family Life
- Education & College
- Military Service
- Career
- Single Life
- Dating & Marriage
- Raising Family
- Children & Grandchildren
- Sports, Hobbies & Leisure
- Friendships & Relationships
- Causes
- Religion & Faith
- Life Lessons
- Medical History
Will my family member be able to do this on their own?
Since everything is done remotely, your family member will be required to setup the equipment for their interview.
- They need to know their WiFi network name and password so they can connect our Apple iPhone to the internet
- They will need some manual dexterity to attach a microphone to their shirt or blouse.
- They will need to attach the Apple iPhone to the supplied tripod and adjust the positioning and framing
- They will need to launch a mobile app, pre-installed on the Apple iPhone
The good news is even if these are not steps they are comfortable doing, there is usually a friend, relative, or neighbor who can help them with setting up the equipment.
