Veterans' video and veterans' personal history documentaries
Do you have a veteran in the family? Imagine their passing without their story being properly recorded. It doesn't bare thinking about does it? But we can help.
Using National Archives' footage and historical photographs, as well as interviews of the person and their personal photographs, we create "Ken Burns" style veterans' video and veterans' personal history documentaries.
We have recorded to video veterans' stories from Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, New Guinea, Okinawa and Japan - wartime and occupation forces.
We have documented on video veterans' stories from Europe in WWII. One of our clients was a Jewish GI who was part of the invasion forces in Europe. He memorized the Lord's Prayer - just in case he was captured!

We have recorded on video veterans' stories from Marine actions in China - helping the Nationalists. We have recorded men who fought in the Korean War and men who fought in the Vietnam war. One old soldier remembers being called a "baby killer" while visiting Haight-Ashbury in the late 60s.

We recently recorded a love story that developed through letters a soldier sent home from Europe after landing at Normandy. The couple had only been going together for 5 days but she fell in love with him through his letters.
We have also recorded stories to video of Marines, and stories of men who served in the Infantry, Navy and Air Force. Not just their war service but their other careers, their forebears and loved ones and their later lives.
And we have documented the personal history of the many who were left behind - lots of whom directly assisted the war effort and all of whom suffered the absence of loved ones, sometimes permanently.
In every case we bring the greatest care to the task of preserving on DVD the stories of these most important people.
