I am interested in having a Bio-Chronicle created, but want to know more about the process, can you explain exactly what it entails?
This video will explain the process in some detail.
How much time will it take for the video to be completed?
The average time would be 4-6 weeks from first contact. However, if you have a pressing need to get
it sooner and have already gathered or have easy access to all of the necessary assets,
we may be able to schedule a shoot immediately and get a finished product to you within
a shorter timeframe. Please understand that due to demand this is not always possible
and we will not take on any job or expedite one that we think will not end up meeting our high standards.
How long will the actual shoot take?
The actual interview should be able to be completed in matter of a few hours; the exact number is dependent
on which product you choose and how comfortable the interviewee is on the day.
We ask interviewees to allow a full half day for the interview/s in case we need to do multiple takes.
How much does a Bio-Chronicle cost?
Each video reflects the life of an individual; therefore, just like life, each video will be unique.
We do not take a cookie cutter approach, so we are unable to give a blanket answer to this question.
The price will depend on which product you choose and the options on which you decide upon within the product you pick.

Review the options on our pricing page, it will give you a general idea of the cost.
What are the differences between the chroma key screen and black screen/natural backdrop setting videos?
This is all about the location and background. The natural setting is simply a location at the subject's home or our studio, using the existing background/s or a simple black screen, which we will provide. The chroma key screen process is more elaborate, the subject will sit in front of a blue or green screen, which allows us to place the subjects anywhere. View our short Chroma key video to learn more about the process.
I want a Bio-Chronicle, but I cannot go on camera to speak about my life; do you have any options for me?
Yes, you could tell us the story you want recorded and either have a family member narrate your story or if that
is not possible, we could have a Bio-Chronicles voice over professional do so.
I really love this idea but I am only in my 30's, at what age do you recommend people start looking into this product?
This is a great question and one we have thought alot about here at Bio-Chronicles. It is likely that in your 30's your view of the world is different than it will be when you are in your 70's or older and certainly it is likely that your memories of the 30+ years that have already passed are more acute than they will be later, but without the perspective of having grown older. We highly recommend that people record their Bio-Chronicle over time, if they can. Having the perspective of both youth and age adds dramatically to the quality of the end results. Obviously, Bio-Chronicles as a concept is too new to have completed a multi-interview, multi-decade shoot, however, we are doing it for ourselves, so it will at least ensure that whatever comes next, some of our life will be shared with our loved ones and those that follow in the centuries to come.
