Oral Histories

Our history is all around us, and it's disappearing every day.
The stories told and memories shared by the older genereation
is a precious resource, but if we don't take steps now to
preserve it, we'll lose it.


MediaMax Video has designed an Oral History production package ideal for churches and other organizations that want to professionally capture the reflections of the people who have lived through so much, and have so much to pass on to future generations. The experiences, values and relationships will be valuable knowledge and an enriching experience to those who watch many years later.

Affordable Video Production

The most important aspect of our service is its affordability. We have
designed this product to fit most budgets, and could even be self-funding
through DVD sales. It's also important to note that this is professional video
production. We use professional cameras and microphones. In fact, we take extra care to capture audio, because it is so important to capture voices. Both the subject of the interview and the interviewer both will be miked to get the best sound.

How It Works

MediaMax Video will come to your location for a one-day professional shoot. You can select and schedule the people that you want to interview. Allowing for approximately 15 minutes per person, several interview subjects could be accomodated. MediaMax Video can provide an interviewer.

After the interviews are gathered, MediaMax Video will edit them, to make them flow, and compile them on a DVD. We will then design an attractive package and produce any number of copies that you want. Some groups might give them away, others might sell them. It's up to you.
