Isn't your family history worth sharing in a way that will last forever?
We are talented storytellers who have mastered the art of cutting-edge technology. Using classic filmmaking techniques and the latest digital tools, we seamlessly weave together vintage photos, old footage, and audio tracks with interviews, voice-over narrations, music, animations, and titles.
The result is a wonderful tapestry of images and sounds that share memories, impart wisdom, and mark history to inform, entertain and inspire - today and for many years to come.
Never satisfied to simply communicate information and record content, we also capture the spirit of a person, the unifying force of a group and the atmosphere of an event.
The shared experience of researching, creating and watching these timeless DVDs brings families closer together. It can also strengthen the human bonds of companies and organizations.
So if you want to honor or celebrate a special person or occasion in a very special way, give us a call or send us an e-mail. We’re always happy to hear from you.

Digital Mourning – Grief In The Online Age
I have talked a lot on my blog and on Facebook about how the digital world has changed our relationship and concept of memoir. With each national disaster, we turn to Facebook, Twitter and other online websites to find out what happened, then understand the impact and finally to share our upsets and grief. We mourn publicly in a way we couldn’t have imagined only 10 years ago.

Personal History – An Unpredictable Experience
Last year we completed an almost 3-hour biography on a 97 year old local woman. It was an incredible project to work on. Not only is she smart and vibrant but she had a lot of energy and we were able to do some remarkable video B-roll. We have shots of her driving her car, talking about her childhood in front of the home she was born in, giving us a tour of the artwork in her church that she and her late husband had commissioned as well as extensive stories and recollections from her 97…

2013 Resolution – Time to Get That Personal History Done!
2013 marks the 10 year anniversary of Legacy Multimedia. It will be later this fall and I will commemorate the decade in a fitting manner…. later.
Right now, with the new year, and this huge blank slate of time before me, I want to focus on my new mantra regarding my own personal history, “get ‘er done!” (Since I live in Texas, I can talk to myself in cowboy language.)
Right about the time that I was starting Legacy Multimedia, I also started the long and complex process of…

Reminiscence and Life Review – The Experience of Melancholy
I was speaking with a friend the other day about my observations of some of the people that I work with, explaining that for
some people, there is a melancholy in their recollections of the past and where they are today. My friend told me how much she loved that word, ‘melancholy’ and how distinctly different it…
