My father’s interview flows effortlessly from one topic to another, capturing his personality and sense of humour. He is relaxed and happy to be sharing his memories and we are happy to have them. This is a great record for generations to come.

Telling people’s stories and capturing who they are is our business
The In My Life Process
1
Get In Touch with In My Life
Get in touch via the contact form and we will call you to talk through your requirements.
2
Research Chat
We will meet with the person to be interviewed and have a preliminary chat. We get to know them, and they get to know us.
This is also the time we work out what areas we will cover in the interview.
3
Meet with the family
Where appropriate we will talk to family members for “must tell stories”, so we can prompt the subject accordingly.
4
Interview Recording
Approximately 2 weeks after the initial “research chat” we will record an interview.
We usually allow half a day for this.
We will request a list of family photos or videos to assist us in the illustration of the final video.
5
Video Review
We will then present the edited video. At this point there is an opportunity to discuss making changes.
6
Editing and Delivery
The final video is presented on DVD and a USB Memory Stick in a Wooden Gift Box.
Hi, my name is Don Paulin, and this is why I created "In My Life"
"My Dad died in 2014 aged 100. Fortunately, when he was 85 I sat him
down and interviewed him about his life. No one took much interest at
the time – he was Dad, and he was part of our lives.
But
15 years later when he passed away we all suddenly realised the value
of this recording. We had many photos from our years together, but
listening to Dad telling stories of his life gave us a real sense of him
as a person. Now his future Great-Grandchildren can meet him too."

I want to give the opportunity for others to save the same kind of memories as we have.
