What’s inside

A complete kit. Nothing missing.

We’ve thought through every step so you don’t have to. From the first question to the finished video, you’ll have everything you need.

Professional gear guide — camera, microphone, and lighting recommendations at every budget, from $0 (using what you already own) to $500.
50+ guided interview questions organized by life chapter — childhood, family, love, work, legacy, regrets, and joy.
Step-by-step recording setup — how to film over Zoom, Teams, or in person, with audio that doesn’t sound like a hostage video.
Video editing tutorials — short, plain-English walk-throughs so you can edit a beautiful video even if you’ve never touched editing software.
AI tool referrals — exactly which apps to use (Descript, CapCut, OpusClip) and how, so you can edit in hours instead of weeks.
Story structure template — the proven framework for organizing interview footage into something your family will actually want to watch.
Weekly reminder system — gentle prompts to keep your project moving so it doesn’t become another good intention that never happened.
Private LegacyWorks community — a place to ask questions, share what you’re making, and get help from coaches and other families.

How it works

From your kitchen table to a finished film.

Instant access to the entire LegacyWorks Story Starter library — gear guides, question banks, tutorials, templates.

Set up & schedule

Pick your gear, set up your recording space (we’ll show you how), and book a few one-hour interview sessions with your loved one.

Capture the stories

Use our 50+ questions to guide rich, emotional, joyful conversations. Record over a few weeks — not in one marathon session.

Edit & share

Follow our editing tutorials, lean on AI tools where helpful, and produce a finished video your whole family will treasure.

Who it’s for

For the families who want to do it themselves.

The Story Starter is for the family member who’s comfortable with technology, has time on hand, and wants the satisfaction (and savings) of capturing a parent or grandparent’s story personally.

You don’t need to be a filmmaker. You don’t need expensive equipment. You just need the right framework and a willingness to ask the questions that matter.

The result: joyful, edited family videos their grandchildren will laugh at, cry over, and share forever.
