What the Final Film Will Look Like

What the Film Will Look Like

Every family film is unique. It is not just a collection of shots, but a well-thought-out documentary that connects authentic places, archival records, and professional narration. The result is a work that presents your family’s history not only factually, but also visually and emotionally.

Footage of Places Where Ancestors Lived

We visit and document locations that played an important role in the lives of your ancestors. These shots form the core of the film and give the story atmosphere and scale.

Villages and towns Places where ancestors lived and worked.
Churches Sites of baptisms, weddings, and farewells.
Cemeteries Family graves and memorial sites.
Historical sites Landmarks and events that shaped the family’s destiny.
Memorial trees Symbolic natural sites tied to family history.
Old buildings and schools Houses, schools, and everyday structures.

Archival Records

The film will also present all relevant documents related to your ancestors.

Birth and baptism records The film will show all register entries of your ancestors’ births, which we will read and comment on.
Marriage records A wedding is a major event, and in the register we will not only show but also read out who married whom and where.
Death records We will try to find all death records, so you can see not only when someone died, but also where and why.
Military records If we come across archival material regarding military service, we will present it to you.
Maps We will show historical maps and compare them with current ones, giving you a clear idea of where your ancestors lived.
Census records If census records are available for your region, we will present and explain them, including all family members.
Historical photographs We will try to find old photos, postcards, and images capturing locations from times long past.

Film Bonuses

The package includes not only the film itself, but also materials you can keep separately or share with family.

Scanned register records Baptisms, weddings, and deaths in high resolution.
Research log An overview of sources, links to registers, and archives used.
Graphic family trees Clearly designed trees exactly as they appear in the film.
AI-generated images Faithful visualizations where historical photos are missing.

Narration – Voiceover

A quality voiceover adds emotion, rhythm, and clarity to the story. The voice and style of narration are chosen according to the theme and your preferences.

How narration works We prepare and approve the texts together before recording.
Different voices We offer male and female voices, formal or casual, depending on the character of the story.
