Testimonials

My husband and I were having a conversation with a friend when he received a call from Robin Gate, a videographer who had filmed his life story. He described the experience in the most positive terms and expressed delight with the finished product.

I thought how I would love to have a video of my 95 year-old father. He gave me Robin's "LifeWorks" business card, and I called her as soon as I returned home.

Our friend had spoken of Robin as one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet, and throughout the process I found that to be true. She gave me guidance in the preparatory work that needed to be done before the actual video taping. When she arrived at my father's home, she was gracious and unhurried. Throughout the taping, her promptings kept my father's stories flowing.

Now that the interview was over, I eagerly awaited the arrival of the DVDs in my mailbox. When they came, I was so excited as I tore into the package and inserted the first one into my player. What I saw exceeded my expectations. It was a work of art from beginning to end.

Thank you, Robin, for a beautiful job!

Doing a LifeWorks Video with Robin Gate was a very satisfying experience. The preparation before hand through her questionnaire was very thorough and helpful. In the actual filming, she put me at ease and made suggestions for including items which I overlooked. Following the filming, she skillfully edited the tape and added appropriate music background. All together, it made for a professional product which I am sure my children, and possibly others such as my grandchildren, will appreciate and enjoy for years to come.

I've got tears in my eyes. It's very meaningful and touching. It's the best thing I ever did in my life. It's going to mean a lot to my family. It gives me peace of mind that if I kick the bucket tomorrow, It'll be okay.
You're doing something that's a blessing and if people open their heart and let what you're doing in, it can be the biggest blessing to them. To be alive and to have this is the most precious gift.
You just did a bang up job. It touched my heart like nothing ever has.

Wow. We just viewed ourselves as we are and as we were. And it was quite a revelation, to see ourselves as we did. We think you did a masterful job.

I was very pleased with the video. I was able to take it with me to Texas and show it to quite a few of my nieces and nephews. My "kid" brother who is my only sibling left thought is was great.
