Peggy

Birthday Milestone Film

Commissioned by: her husband, Ogden. Ogden spent months finding and scanning old photos - sending them to me over the course of a few months so as not to arouse suspicion. He presented the film to Peggy at her 70th birthday party, in front of all her family + friends.

For: birthday gift.

The Film

“I hired Katherine to make a short childhood-to-the-present video for my wife’s milestone birthday.  Based on what I’ve seen of Katherine’s work, I knew it would be high quality and creative, but my expectations were slightly muted because what I gave her to work with was almost all old still photographs with very few videos.  I was blown away by what Katherine created!  When my wife watched the nine minute film (along with family and friends) she burst into tears of joy and surprise.  She absolutely loved it. It’s a beautiful tribute with real narrative and emotional power, skillfully enhanced with music.  If you’re looking for the visual equivalent of a lounge pianist — a film loop to play in the background while people socialize — you’d be well served by a more generic slideshow.  What Katherine made for us is a one of a kind treasure that generates memories, conversation and emotion.  Needless to say, we’re delighted.”
