In My Own Words
No script, no spin—just the truth of my story, the way I remember it.
What is it?
In My Words is a professionally produced video experience where one person tells their story from their unique perspective. Whether it’s a heartfelt thank you to family, a hilarious walk down memory lane about stories with mates for memories sake, or a raw and real insight into someone’s life, In My Words captures it all with honesty, humour, and humanity.
Who is it for?
- Someone creating a personal gift to thank family or loved ones
- A mate surprising another with a tribute (funny or heartfelt)
- Someone wanting to reflect on life “so far” and advance on this story in years to come
- A group of friends reuniting and sharing memories on camera
- A parent sharing life lessons with kids in their own words
- Anyone with a story to tell or a moment to capture
Our Suggestions
- Position as a gift with reminiscing, humour and edge
- Tap into nostalgia, gratitude, emotion, and legacy
- Ideal for birthdays, Father’s Day/Mother’s Day, or just being you and getting your story off your chest. A keepsake to build on level by level each year or two.
- Spill out to yourself what you’d tell your younger self and know that its private and confidential, but off your chest and you can leave that in the back of a cupboard and move forward.
- Stitch your mates up with a reunion story that we can help tell it the real way, and a stitched up way.
- Stitch up your mates in a location setting with general overall conversation with pictures incorporated, videos. Have the boys or girls only copy to keep for yourselves, and a more light-hearted for everyone else
Sample Questions We Might Ask:
- What’s a story you’ve never told anyone on camera?
- If your younger self walked in right now, what would they say?
- Who taught you the most—and what did they get wrong?
- If we called one of your mates, what would they say?
Our Promise:
This isn’t stiff, awkward, or overly sentimental unless you want it to be. We bring personality, humour, timing, and real storytelling. Our interviewer makes it feel like a chat over coffee or a beer—only with cameras rolling.
Example Uses:
- Hey Mum, thanks for everything.
- Let’s tell the real story before it gets lost.
- Remember the time we nearly got banned from the caravan park?
- If you’re watching this… it means I finally got around to doing it.
