Step 1 | Ordering & receiving your pack
After ordering, you will receive a package in the post, including:
- A guide to the Time Capsule process
- A guide to help with the process of reminiscing and organising your memories
- A straightforward What To Do Next list to help you get started
- A call-list for you to note down the dates of calls with your Story Coach
- A notebook and a pen to help you note down your thoughts.
Step 2 | Calls with your Story Coach
We will schedule in with you up to FIVE calls with your Story Coach, at times convenient to you.
On these calls you’ll chat through your memories, how you’re finding things and how best to organise them to create the very best film.
The actual reminiscing and capturing of memories is down to you!
But your Story Coach is a listening ear and a guiding hand – and will help us both be prepared for when we’re ready to film.
Step 3 | The day of filming
Your Story Coach and a video technician will arrive at your home. With the small amount of camera equipment we will record your Time Capsule, and capture your accompanying photos.
Filming normally takes place in the lounge and happens in a few hours in the morning, the afternoon set aside to capture your photos and mementos.
The team will not require feeding or watering; they will be able to take care of themselves.
They will create minimal impact and leave your home just as they find it.
Step 4 | We deliver your Time Capsule
Once we have created your film, you will receive it as DVDs and a private, secure link to the film which you can share with loved ones.
The duration of the finished film is shaped by your memories, though tends to be in the region of 2 to 3 hours. We divide your film into “chapters” to make it as accessible as possible for you and your loved ones.
Testimonials from gifters & individuals
David
"It shows your lived life. And to share that with other people is really enriching and rewarding"
Sue
"It felt wonderful to be remembering things about my life; things I may have forgotten about. Some were funny and some were sad, but it was really great recalling all of them. I absolutely loved it!"
Kammi
"If you don’t do it, you will not have this thought-out, complete picture of your life. You may have told somebody about something, but this brings all of those important things into one place, one film"
