LifeCatching Chapters™ approaches life in increments: mini-features spotlight an episode, life event, a hobby or pastime. Tight editing of materials keeps the chapter brief and focused. In this featured LifeCatching Chapter™, a mother recalls her pageant participation for her 11-year-old daughter.

Back Story: The family recently moved cross-country. Seeking to minimize stuff before the move, certain memorabilia was resurrected and was simply too difficult to toss out. An inquisitive daughter, Zoey, wanted to know more about the box of pageant gowns and her mother’s participation in the competitions. One evening, while rummaging through the artifacts of this brief period of her life, Zoey asked unscripted questions. An audio-recorder was turned on and a few photos quickly taken of the exchange.

Editing: We wanted to create an under 5-minute rendition of this chapter. Kris, the mother, selected a few pictures from her scrapbook that she felt were most important highlights. The photos and a few artifacts were scanned. In addition, we digitized her cassette recordings of her talent, clarinet playing. This made a sentimental, but appropriate, musical soundtrack.

Final product: When Kris saw this, she wrote back: "Oh my gosh!   This is so fantastic!   I just watched the video.   I love the way you incorporated Zoey's interview and pictures.   And the music in the background...just makes my heart sing!"

Zoey now has a chapter of her mother’s life to treasure for years to come. Should the gowns disintegrate, the memorabilia be destroyed, the LifeCatching Chapter™ preserved the experiences in a fresh way. The interaction of the two is a LifeCatching moment in itself. Enjoy this priceless LifeCatching memory: a conversation between a mother and her daughter.
