Transform a photograph into a personalized video where your loved one speaks directly to you—a lasting tribute that captures their essence, their voice, their presence.

Legacy Video Tributes

This isn't about technology. It's about accuracy.

When you lose someone, what you miss most is their presence—the way they spoke, their mannerisms, the feeling of them in a room. This service recreates that presence in a way that either feels exactly right, or it doesn't work at all.

I don't deliver until you feel that moment of recognition. That instant where you think: "Yes. That's them."

Because anything less than that is worthless.

What This Is

How This Works

1. You Provide

  • A clear photograph of your loved one

  • A voice sample (video, audio recordings) OR a detailed description of how they spoke

  • The message you want them to say (or we'll craft it together)

2. We Collaborate

  • I create the first version

  • You review and tell me what's right and what's not

  • "The pacing is too slow" / "She wouldn't phrase it that way" / "His expression needs to be warmer"

  • I revise based on your feedback

  • We repeat this process until it feels true

3. You Receive

  • A video that captures their essence

  • High-resolution file you can keep forever

  • Something you can share with family, play at memorials, or keep private

  • A moment of connection that feels real

Unlimited revisions. We work together until you have that feeling of recognition. That's the only acceptable outcome.

I created my father's memorial using these two sources:

One photograph

One 4-minute video to isolate his voice

After cleaning both image and audio, and a several technical, script, and stylistic iterations...

This is the result:

Payment: 50% deposit to begin, remaining 50% when you approve the final version

Privacy: Your video and all materials are kept completely confidential

What If It's Not Right? We keep revising. If after multiple attempts you feel it's not capturing the essence, I refund your deposit. But that's never happened—because we work together until it's right.

Who This Is For

  • Families who want a final message of comfort

  • Those planning their own legacy video

  • Memorial services seeking something beyond photographs

  • Anyone who needs to hear their loved one's voice again

A Note About This Work

I understand what it means to lose someone. I know what it feels like to wish you could hear their voice one more time, to have one more conversation. This is the father I knew. The one I talked with.

This work is deeply personal to me. I don't take it lightly, and I don't deliver anything that doesn't feel true.

If you're considering this, reach out. Even if you're not sure yet. We can talk about whether this feels right for you and your family.
