Your voice. Your stories. Someone you love.

A guided memory-making program

Before we record, let’s understand the moment.

Let Me Tell You Something helps a family, church, or community gather photographs, voices, and keepsakes—and shape them into something people can watch, read, share, and keep.

Watch: what this experience is

Lifestyle introduction with spoken narration and music. Press Play to listen.

Start with your people

The same patient story-making program can fit one person, a family, a church, or a senior organization. Choose the starting point that fits your gathering.

For me & my family

Preserve a personal story, celebrate a birthday, or gather several generations. Start with one photograph and one memory. A trusted relative can help, or you can work at your own pace.

Prepare our family session

For my church

Bring an anniversary or congregation history to life. Name a director, invite members from different generations, and agree on the first keepsake before gathering stories.

Prepare a church project

For senior centers & organizations

Make storytelling a welcoming group activity. A facilitator welcomes people, helpers handle equipment, and each contributor chooses what to share. Start small and leave room for breaks.

Prepare our group session

Who is the director?

The director is your trusted organizer: a family member, church volunteer, activity leader, or friend. They guide the occasion, help people feel comfortable, and decide with contributors what belongs in the finished presentation.

Before the gathering

Choose the occasion and output. Invite storytellers, find photographs, name helpers, and arrange contributions from people elsewhere.

During the gathering

Ask one question at a time. Listen patiently. Help capture photos and stories. Let anyone pause, skip a question, or stop.

After the gathering

Check names and captions. Ask contributors to review what will be shared. Assemble the presentation and keep the originals and backups.

What are we making?

Start with a photo presentation, printable memory pages, or a story screening that plays selected saved clips in order. Keep your original recordings too. An edited film, remote upload portal, shared online archive, and broadcast editions require the next production phase.

You do not need to record anything to begin. First choose your occasion, your director, and what you want to make.

What comes later

Edited films, remote upload links, private hosted collections, and printer ordering need further connections. Keep downloaded originals and backups today.

Watch, understand, then begin.

A family celebration, church anniversary, birthday, or Memory Party starts with people. These short lessons introduce the roles; use each checklist to prepare.

Press Play for spoken guidance. Use the written steps below at your own pace.

1. Organizer & director

Choose the occasion and what you want to make. Invite contributors, assign a helper, and decide who reviews the result.

Ready for this step?
  • Choose an occasion and one first output.
  • Name a director, interviewer, camera helper, and reviewer. One person can cover several roles.
  • Ask contributors what they want to share and who may see it.

Your next step: Agree on one first output, such as a photo presentation. Make a list of people and keepsakes to include.

Director’s kit

2. Camera operator & younger helper

Place the phone steadily at eye level, face the light, and check sound. Help without taking over the storyteller’s words.

Ready for this step?
  • Set a steady camera at eye level; clean the lens.
  • Face soft light and choose a quiet space.
  • Play back a short test. Check voice volume and framing before the story.

Your next step: Record a short test, replay it, and ask whether the storyteller feels comfortable before continuing.

Open the recording studio

3. Patient storytelling

Ask one question, wait, and follow the person’s own memory. Offer a photograph, a pause, or another question.

Ready for this step?
  • Ask permission and let the storyteller choose a comfortable pace.
  • Ask one question, then wait without correcting or filling the silence.
  • Offer a photo, a break, or a different question. Stop if asked.

Your next step: Try: What do you notice here? Who comes to mind? What would you like us to remember? Uncertain dates can stay uncertain.

Open the recording studio

4. Photograph & keepsake capture

Capture the whole item without glare, then the back or another view. Keep the original file and identify its source.

Ready for this step?
  • Capture the full item and the back; avoid glare.
  • Add names, approximate date, source, and a caption.
  • Keep the original and confirm permission before including it.

Your next step: Add people, approximate date, contributor, caption, and permission. Ask a remote member to send their chosen files to the organizer. Remote uploads are not connected here yet.

Open the guided planner

5. Review together

Invite each contributor to review their recording and captions. Correct names, leave uncertain details uncertain, and agree who may receive the material. Remove anything they do not want shared.

6. Make, share, and keep

Use the planner for a photo presentation or printable memory pages. In the studio, save reviewed clips with an agreed audience, then use Make a story screening to select and order them in one downloadable browser presentation. Keep originals and two backups with a named organizer.

Film editing, private online collections, printer ordering, and broadcast delivery are future connections. Current tools save and download on this device.

Using the tools, one step at a time

  1. Plan your occasion: open the guided planner, enter the project and organizer, choose an output, and download your plan.
  2. Build a photo keepsake: select photos from this device, add a caption to each, confirm permission, then download the presentation or printable pages.
  3. Save a story: open the recording studio, choose a story path and question, confirm permission, then record or choose an existing file. Play it back, give it a title, and download a copy.
  4. Keep it safe: device collections stay in this browser. Download your files before changing devices or clearing browser data. Give a second copy to your chosen organizer.

I understand — open the guided project planner

Turn memories into something you can share.

A guided program for a church anniversary, birthday, family celebration, or Memory Party. Gather people and keepsakes, draw out their stories, and decide what you want to make together.

1. Plan your occasion

Your plan and photos stay in this page unless you download them.

2. Guide the conversation

You are a listener, not an examiner. Ask one question, leave time for an answer, and let the person skip or stop.

  1. What do you notice in this photograph?
  2. Who or what does it remind you of?
  3. What happened just before or after this moment?
  4. What would you like someone else to remember?

If remembering feels difficult, try a familiar photograph, song title, object, or place. Accept “I’m not sure.” Do not supply guesses as facts. Take a break whenever needed.

Include people who cannot be there

Send them a question and ask for a phone recording, scanned photograph, or written memory. Arrange how they will return it to your organizer. Invitation links and remote uploads are not connected yet.

3. Gather photographs and keepsakes

Use a scanner or photograph an item flat in good light without glare. Capture the whole item and any writing on the back. Keep the original file. For objects, take several views and tell their story.

Photos stay in this page. They are not uploaded. Download your work before leaving; the presentation file contains copies of the selected photos.

The printable file opens in a browser for printing or saving as PDF. For a print shop, confirm its accepted format and size before ordering.

4. Choose what happens next

You can make a simple photo presentation and printable memory pages here now. Recorded clips download separately. Film editing, cloud archives, private member collections, Media Maker/TV ME delivery, and printer ordering need further connections.

For preservation, keep originals, captions, contributor permissions, and two backups with a named organizer. No forever-storage promise is included.

Watch first: using the studio

Set up, then record

Choose a recording type. Agree to recording, enable the devices, and accept the browser’s permission request. Check the picture and sound meter. Press Start recording only when you are ready.

Review, name, and keep

Press Stop and review, then use the player’s Play button. Give the clip a title, confirm permission, and download a backup. Keep on this device saves in this browser; it does not upload to an archive.

Need an easy alternative?

Use your phone’s normal Camera or Voice Recorder app. Come back here and choose the finished audio/video file. Keep each file under 100 MB. The same review, title, download, and device-saving tools then apply.

Your recording studio

Devices off · not recording

First enable your devices and check the preview. Nothing records until you press Start recording. Each new clip can be up to three minutes.

Read the question aloud, then give the storyteller time. You can skip it, take a break, or choose a different question.

Easy interview helper

Read one question aloud, then give the storyteller time. There is no need to fill every silence.

If a little encouragement would help
  • Who was there with you?
  • What do you remember seeing or hearing?
  • How did that moment make you feel?
  • What would you like the next generation to know?

If remembering feels difficult: offer a familiar photo, ask about a person or place, or say “We can come back to this.” Accept their account without testing or correcting them. Skip any question they do not want to answer.

Changing the question does not stop a recording. Pause your conversation or finish the clip first if you want a separate story.

Devices are off. Choose Voice only or Video + voice, then enable your devices.

Speak a few words. The bar should move. If it stays still, check your microphone and browser permissions. No sound plays through the speakers during setup.

Story details for your organizer

These details stay with a saved clip in this browser. Download a story card to send alongside the actual recording. Choose the audience together; this label does not restrict access to a file.

A story card is a separate text file with the title, filename, question and audience. It does not contain the recording or prove permission for public use.

After a story: three simple steps
  1. Play it back together. Let the storyteller decide what to keep and who may see it.
  2. Add a title, confirm permission, then download the clip. “Keep on this device” is an extra local copy, not a shared archive.
  3. Give the organizer the approved files using your agreed method. Keep a second copy. Use the photo planner for photo pages, or save reviewed clips here and use Make a story screening below to play selected recordings in order. A screening is a browser file, not an edited MP4.

My collection on this device

Saved clips stay in this browser on this device. They are not backed up or shared online. Download a copy: clearing browser data can remove them. Anyone using this browser may be able to view them.

The list includes all clips saved in this browser, even when search filters the screen. It contains details and filenames, not the recordings. Download each recording separately and keep the list with those files.

Make a story screening

Choose saved recordings, arrange their order, and download one browser presentation with the clips inside. This is a screening playlist, not an edited MP4 movie. Photo presentations are made separately in the planner.

For example: anniversary attendees or chosen family. Confirm this audience with each contributor.

Saving stores the title, audience, messages and selected clip order in this browser. It does not back up recordings. Avoid saving on a shared device. Permission must be confirmed again after resuming.

Screening order

    Choose up to 10 clips, totaling no more than 100 MB. The downloaded file will be larger because it includes the media. Start with a short screening on a computer.

    Before your celebration: rehearse once
    1. Open the downloaded HTML file on the same computer and browser you plan to use. Test every clip.
    2. Connect your screen or projector and speakers. Check volume from the back of the room.
    3. Agree who runs Play, Next and Previous. Keep automatic continuation off until you have tested it.
    4. Keep the original clips and a backup device ready. An HTML screening is not an MP4 for direct TV or broadcaster upload.
    Optional: write notes or download a story starter

    Choose someone you love and one story you want to tell.

    For group sessions, ask permission before recording and let each storyteller review the result before sharing.

    Your starter notes stay in this open page until you download them. They are not uploaded. Recordings are saved in this browser only when you choose Keep on this device.

    Record, replay, and download here. Optional device collections work in this browser only. Online accounts, private links, and cloud collections are not connected yet.

    Director’s session kit

    Use this for a church anniversary, birthday, family gathering, or Memory Party. This sample 45-minute plan is flexible: shorten it, take breaks, or continue another day.

    Assign roles and prepare a run sheet

    One person can cover several roles. A storyteller can participate without being recorded.

    A gentle 45-minute session

    1. 0–5 minutes · Welcome, explain the keepsake, and agree who may see it.
    2. 5–10 minutes · Look through a few photographs and let people choose what to discuss.
    3. 10–25 minutes · Invite short stories, one question at a time. Leave space for silence.
    4. 25–30 minutes · Pause for a break. Check how everyone feels about continuing.
    5. 30–40 minutes · Review selected stories, names, captions, and sharing choices.
    6. 40–45 minutes · Agree the first output, name the keeper, and choose the next step.

    Words to begin with

    We are gathering memories together to make something we can share and keep. You choose what to tell us. You can pass on any question, take a break, or ask us to stop recording. Before anything is shared, we will review your contribution and agree who may see it.

    Questions that invite a story

    • What do you notice in this photograph?
    • Who comes to mind when you see it?
    • What happened just before or after this moment?
    • What would you like the next generation to remember?

    Before recording

    After the session

    Name each file, note its contributor and caption, and record the agreed audience. Keep uncertain facts marked uncertain. Download recordings separately from the photo presentation. Keep originals and a second backup with the named keeper.

    Saving is optional. It stores role names and checklist choices in this browser only. Avoid saving on a shared device. Download a run sheet for your team; this is not cloud storage.

    This kit stays in this page until downloaded. It is not a shared team workspace. Open the downloaded HTML file in a browser to print or save as PDF.

    Start a church memory project

    Bring generations together for an anniversary, celebration, or Memory Party. Begin with one occasion, a named director, and a first keepsake.

    Prepare our church launch

    Download a copy for your team, or send this brief as an inquiry to THE HUB. An inquiry does not create an archive, book a service, or confirm a price.

    1. Tell us about the occasion

    2. Name the people

    3. Introduction and support

    This reference helps us investigate the introduction. It does not verify UpPromote attribution or qualify an order for commission.

    Your director’s first Memory Party

    1. Before: invite a small first group, choose photographs, assign helpers, and ask how each person wants to participate.
    2. Welcome: explain the keepsake you are making, ask permission, and agree who will see it. Make breaks and skipping questions easy.
    3. Gather: try one photograph and one question per person. Let younger helpers handle equipment while the interviewer listens.
    4. Review: check names, captions, and sharing permission with contributors. Choose the first presentation or printable pages together.
    5. After: download the files, name the person keeping the originals, and make a second backup. Agree the next gathering.
    Understand your referral window

    Earn Mode attribution follows the current program settings. A church may prepare now and pay later, but referral tracking can expire before that purchase. A free signup or project inquiry is not a commission. Use your approved personal link or QR, and check the tracking terms in your Earn Mode account before promising credit.

    Expiry dates and automated reminders are not connected on this page. An introducer reference entered here does not extend the tracking window. A future reminder must use the verified program deadline; reminders do not renew attribution or guarantee payment.
