Strength and love, from everyone at once
When visits are hard, a film of familiar faces, shared memories and encouragement can mean a great deal.
How it works
- Create the event in the app with their name and a photo, and a date for memories to be in by.
- Invite everyone who know them by email from your contacts, or share one link in a group chat. You'll see who has opened, joined and shared.
- Everyone answers a different question with a video message, a voice note, photos, a story or a quote, from the app or any web browser. No account needed.
- Make the film and the book. The moments are chosen, ordered and set to music. Preview free, change anything, re-make it as more memories arrive.
- Unlock and share the full HD film for their next visit and the photo book, and order printed copies.
The kind of questions people are asked
- Tell us a story about Sam that still makes you laugh.
- Share a favourite photo with Sam and tell us the story behind it.
- Record a message for Sam: what do you want them to hear today?
- Describe Sam in three words, and tell us why.
- How did you and Sam meet? First impressions welcome.
- What's your earliest memory of Sam?
- What was Sam like as a kid?
- What's Sam like when they walk into a room?
Each person is offered three, chosen for how they know Sam. Most can only be answered once, so the stories don't repeat. More question ideas.
When to start
As soon as you like: the film can be re-made as more messages arrive.
Tips
- Keep messages short and warm.
