HOW IT WORKS

RECORD YOUR ANSWERS TO VIDEO INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

Once you create your account and log in, you'll see a list of about 60 open-ended life questions. Select one. Listen to your video interviewer provide a few tips to think about in your response. Then click the button to begin recording your response using your computer or tablet's built-in video camera. Our questions follow the general chronological order of life. Start at the beginning and skip past any questions that don’t apply to your unique story, only choosing those with which you’re comfortable.

GIVE YOUR PERSONAL REFLECTIONS

If there's something you want to cover that doesn't quite fit any of our open-ended questions, use the periodic 'Personal Reflections' questions to talk about whatever you like! From a difficult life event to that terrific funny story you always tell at parties.

ADD A FEW PHOTOS OF YOUR LIFE!

You'll have the option to upload photos to correspond to the answers you give. You can add them as you go, or we'll send you an email with a link to upload them later. Photos aren't required, but they help take the viewer back in time to the periods and places you are describing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

"I felt it was important to do this because it sounded like a great opportunity to share my story with my family. I plan to pass it on to my daughters and their families, and hope they appreciate it someday. Once I got started answering questions, it became easier and actually brought up quite a bit of emotions at times." - Susan P.
