If you want to create a truly personalized Tribute Video, you’ve got to know about the life of the person you’re memorializing! To see why this is so important, let’s say that you tend to create the same Tribute Video for all the families you serve, using the same intro clip, the same graphics theme and the same song over and over again because you know they’ll work well together. Now imagine that your standard video process involves religious melodies and that you’ve inadvertently added “I Come to the Garden Alone” to the Tribute Video of an avowed atheist! Definitely a mistake you’ll want to avoid. The only way to deliver a good Tribute Video is to get to know the person it’s made for. Ask questions about the interests, hobbies and personal preferences of the deceased in order to pick the options that will be the most meaningful.
