MyLife MyStory Videos A unique opportunity to film and recall the stories of the people who mean the world to us. Dee on the other hand was a complete shock. If only I'd filmed him?

A personal story -
How and why the idea of My Life My Story came about. I lost my stepdad Dave on the Monday and my business partner and close friend Dee on the Wednesday. I couldn't believe it - two of the most important people in my life were gone. Dave had been ill for some time and had been blue-lighted to the hospital more times than I can remember. He was approaching his 80th birthday, altho

ugh we all knew he was tired and it was a blessing he finally let go at home. Although we hadn't seen each other because of the pandemic restrictions, we spoke at least once a week and those conversations were a great comfort at a difficult time but like many at that period she suddenly fell ill and died of covid. That was back in November 2020. It's one of my biggest regrets. I have no excuses. It's just one of those things that I should have done when I had the opportunity. He was a great bloke and everybody loved and respected him. He was a quiet man and was more than happy to listen and get involved when asked. It wasn't until my stepdad passed away that I realised I didn't have any video of him. Working in video production with Dee, I naturally have loads of video of her which looking back gives me great comfort, but sadly none of Dave. It would have been fantastic to show my partner the man who has influenced and guided my life. Sadly, Dave died five months before meeting Sharon and I wish they'd met. Just to be able to watch and listen to his voice and see how humble and calm he was would have been magical. To listen to his stories and those tales he used to tell. This brought forward an idea I'd had a few years before. A video service where loved ones could be filmed and captured forever. A personal service for current and future generations. So My Life My Story Videos was born. It’s a privilege to help others capture and cherish their loved ones on film, now, while they have the opportunity. Andy Green. Video professional and film maker

You found an old photo recently. And you stood there longer than you expected.

You recognised the face. But realised you didn't know half the story behind it.

And the person who could tell you — really tell you — is still here. 

That thought sat with you, didn't it.

It does with most people.

We're good at meaning to do things. Visiting more. Asking more. Recording more. But life fills up fast and those conversations keep getting pushed to another day.

The stories stay locked in someone's head.

And somewhere in the back of your mind, you know the window isn't as wide as it once was.

Not to scare you. Just to say — that feeling you've got right now? It's worth listening to.

There's a way to sit down properly with the people who matter and capture everything. Their voice. Their stories. Their way of telling them.

Before the moment quietly passes.

When you're ready, I'm here.

What do you buy someone who genuinely has everything?

Not another voucher or an another bottle.

This is different. A PERSONAL STORY FILM - and it's for that person in your life who's reached something worth celebrating. A big birthday. A retirement. An anniversary that deserves more than just a card.

Here's what happens.

They talk about their life. Where they grew up. The people who shaped them. The memories that still make them laugh.

Just them, being themselves.

And what they get is a propr film. Their voice. Their stories. Their way of telling them. Something the whole family watches together and one day future generations will enjoy.

It's the best gift you've probably never heard of.

And once you hear about it, you'll know exactly who it's for.

5 things you'll wish you knew before it was too late.

Most people don't think about filming a loved one until they've lost one. I know. Because that's exactly what happened to me.

So here's what I've learned. After 25 years behind a camera and hundreds of conversations with families just like yours.

1. The best time to do this is now. Not when they're ill. Not "someday." Now - while they're well, relaxed and full of stories.

2. They won't find it as daunting as you think. Most people love being asked about their life. They just don't get asked very often.

3. You don't need to prepare anything. No notes. No script. Just a chat. The best stories come out naturally.

4. Old photos and videos can be part of it. VHS tapes. Cine film. Faded photographs. All of it can go into the film.

5. It's not just for the person being filmed. It's for the grandkids who aren't born yet. The family members who never met them. Future generations who'll be so glad it exists.

Which of the 5 surprised you most? Drop it in the comments - I'd love to know. 👇

You can't remember the last time you really asked your Dad about her life.

Not "how are you?" But the proper stuff. Where she grew up. What she was like at your age. The stories you've never quite got round to recording.

Life gets busy. The window gets smaller.

Your mum. Your dad. Your grandad. They're still here. Still full of it.

There's a way to capture all of it — in their own words, on film, kept forever.

When you're ready, I'm here. 👇

Don't wait until there's a reason to.

Most people think about filming a loved one when something happens. A diagnosis. A milestone. A close call. And by then, the window is smaller than it should be.

The best films I make are with people who are well. Relaxed. Full of energy and stories and laughter.

Don't hand them a list of questions either.

The moment someone feels like they're being interviewed, they freeze. The best stories come out sideways — in the middle of something else, when they've forgotten there's a camera there at all.

Don't assume they won't want to do it.

Almost every person I've filmed has said the same thing afterwards. That they loved it. That nobody had ever really sat down and asked them about their life before.

Don't leave it to somebody else.

You're the one who knows them. You're the one who'll regret it most if it doesn't happen.

And don't think it has to be complicated.

Three steps. A conversation. A filming day. A finished film. That's it.

The hardest part is just deciding to do it.

Is there someone in your life you've been meaning to do this for? Drop their name in the comments — first name only is fine. 👇

It's for the families who know there are stories in there — real ones, good ones — and want to capture them before life gets in the way.

We come to wherever he's comfortable. His chair. His home. His world.

I ask the questions. He talks. No script, no preparation, nothing to worry about.

And what comes back is a finished film. His voice. His laugh. The way he pauses before the punchline. The story about his first job that always makes everyone groan. All of it. Captured properly. Kept forever.

Families who've done this tell me the same thing.

That watching it together was one of the best evenings they'd had in years.

That they had no idea how much they didn't know about him.

That they're so glad they didn't leave it.

Is there someone in your life this is for?

I love helping people tell their stories and often see sons and daughters begin thinking what a meaningful gift this could be for a parent or grandparent. Not just another “thing” but something different that lasts.

If you're genuinely interested in a film for a loved one, The best way to find out if this is right is to have a quick chat.

No commitment, no pressure - just a conversation.

Would that be useful?" Message me.

It starts before the camera comes out. A chat. A brew. A few questions about their life that get them talking without realising it.

By the time we're filming, they're mid-story. Laughing. Remembering things they haven't thought about in years.

I've filmed company directors who froze the moment the red light came on. I've filmed 80-year-olds who talked for two hours without pausing for breath.

The difference was never confidence.

It was feeling safe enough to just be themselves.

That's what I try to create every single time. A space where the real person shows up. Not a performed version. Not a nervous version.

Just them.

And that's when the magic happens.

Have you ever frozen in front of a camera? Tell me about it in the comments. 👇

Someone in your family is the keeper of all the stories. And nobody's written them down.

You know the one.

The person who remembers everything. Who can tell you exactly what life was like growing up in the 50s, the 60s, the 70s. Who has a story for every occasion and tells it better every time.

The one everyone gathers around at Christmas.

And here's the thing nobody says out loud.

One day, those stories go with them.

Not because anyone was careless. Not because nobody cared. Just because life is busy and there never seemed to be an urgent reason to sit down and record it all properly.

Until there was.

I've spoken to so many families across Yorkshire who say the same thing. That they wish they'd done something sooner. That they'd give anything to hear that voice again.

You still can.

That person is still here. Still full of it. Still waiting for someone to sit down and properly ask.

A personal story film captures all of it — their voice, their laugh, their way of telling a story that's completely unique to them.

No script. No fuss. Just them, being themselves, on film. Forever.

When you're ready, I'm here. 👇
