If you have been looking at written memory books
They are a lovely idea. Here is how this is different.
StoryWorth and similar | Our Story Video | |
|---|---|---|
What you can hear | Their words | Their voice, their laugh, the pauses |
Who does the work | They write and you assemble | They talk and we do the rest |
What it costs | Annual subscription, plus printing | $99 once |
How long it takes | Around a year | The same day |
What they have to do | Write, a little each week | Talk, once, for about an hour |
What you end up with | A printed book of typed answers | A finished film, in their voice and face |
If what you want is a printed book on a shelf, that is a genuinely good thing to want, and this is not that.
If what you want is to hear them again, this is.
