Tips For Funeral Home Tribute Videos
When you are working with funeral homes in Albertson, NY to honor a loved one who has passed away, one of the most special, personal moments of the service can be the tribute video. If you are going to create a video to show off your loved one’s legacy, you want it to really stand out as something memorable. The professionals at the funeral home have seen lots of tribute videos in the past so it’s nice to get tips from people who know what works and what doesn’t. Here are a few examples:
Tip 1: Use Great Tools
You want the video to look as nice as possible so use tools that are professional, if possible. There are great video creating and editing tools today that you can do from the comfort of your own home on your computer. You can even do the video from a tablet or laptop. You can put music behind the pictures and make it all that much more moving when you include your loved one’s favorite songs.
Tip 2: Watch The Length
IT’s hard to summarize someone’s life in one short video, but you don’t want it to go on and on, either. The video should never be longer than 10 minutes. You don’t want people to be overwhelmed by something too long, especially if there’s a eulogy or another speaker. Get a good sense of length by watching other like videos to see what others have done lengthwise. You can always lay out more pictures for people to see that didn’t make the video.
Tip 3: Include Variety
Try to include as many varied pictures as possible. You want shots of them on vacation, family shots, and candid’s all mixed in. If you have video clips, mix those in between pictures so all of the short videos don’t play all at once. Make the video engaging and it’s sure to be a hit.
Tip 4: Test Everything Before
When you arrive at the funeral home on the day of the service, make sure you play the video all the way through on the equipment you will be using to make sure everything works well. You don’t want to have technical difficulties at an inopportune moment. Also make sure the volume on the speaker system is good to go.
Tip 5: Share Copies
If your video is stellar, which it’s sure to be, people might want copies to take home so they can watch it again. You can hand out DVDs after the funeral or you can give people a link where they can find it to watch it again when they want to think about your loved one.
