DAD CAM CLUB
capturing, not curating family videos
One day, family videos will be all we have left.
When I became a dad, time started zooming by faster than I could comprehend. I couldn’t help but hyper-documenting my little girl growing up and everything happening in our lives.
Even though I’ve always been one to document our family life, there was this new feeling of needing to express things in video (so that if something should happen to us) my little girl would know a bit about us and how much we love her.
We started doing family update videos like a little podcast or vlog and I this got me thinking about how family interviews would be something fun and meaningful for other families.
I did a few pilot interviews with some parents, grandparents, and even friend’s kiddos at the cottage.
Being able to connect with people to hear their childhood stories, parenting and life’s challenges — I just loved everything about it!
Enter: Projekt Keepsake. It’s a meaningful, but lighthearted interview experience designed to capture the essence of the people you love or the stage of life they’re in.
Sometimes we can’t express deeply enough or directly to our family, so being interviewed offers an outlet that helps open up these conversations.
This video service is for yourself or anyone you love and I don't want to say you should do this for your parents before it's too late, but that's the uncomfortable truth of life.
But it could also be for certain life milestones, birthdays, graduations, or just every so often just like family photos.
The result is a timeless keepsake — helping the memories of the ones you love live forever. And video is our best time machine.
NONNA
“Bound us across continents and generations.
Even when she’s gone, we’ll find her in the tomato stains on an apron.
And the way she set the table and the smell of roasted garlic drifting down the hall.
Because some recipes aren’t written down — they’re remembered in the heart.”
This interview was at Nonna’s charming home with her 4 daughters.
We had a lovely conversation about what life was like in the early days in Italy, but also in coming to Canada.
Sam, one of her grandsons, wrote a beautiful poem for Nonna that really shows how much she is loved and how Nonna’s cooking brings the family together.
At the end, Nonna grabbed my face and said, “I’ll never forget you”.
The whole afternoon was truly heartwarming and what an honour to be able to create this keepsake video for their family.
How does it work?
With my interviews, we start chronologically with childhood leading up to parenthood, while chatting about details along the way.
Gathering perspectives on life, thoughts of the children, family, and decisions that may have be done differently.
This video is meant to help us understand our parents a little better and to have a keepsake that would likely not exist if not nudged to do something like this.
Just like I do for my wedding couples, it’s the idea of hearing and seeing our loved ones in video that will help immortalize them and serve as our time machine once they’re gone.
Conversations are typically 45 minutes (in home or studio) and if you have family photos or home videos you’d like to share with me as B-roll for the video, I’ll gladly include them into the final edit. Having these extra memories to add to the video really does make it truly meaningful.
You’ll receive a custom webpage where the video will be hosted for easy sharing and links to download your video.
