Memos

Memo questions for a graduate

One question for every guest. The answers play back like voice messages, with their faces.

  • “Say a few words for the graduate.”
  • “What's your best advice for what comes next?”
  • “What did you do after you finished?”
  • “What are you proudest of them for?”
  • “Leave a wish for the next chapter.”
  • “Tell them a memory from when they started.”

The ceremony from every seat

At a graduation the camera is always in the wrong place: too far back, behind a head, or pointed at the wrong name. With a shared roll every guest shoots from their own seat, so the walk across the stage arrives from the front, the side, and the back.

A video from every guest

Turn videos on and every guest can add one, 5 to 30 seconds, answering your prompt. Ask for a toast or a piece of advice, and the day comes with a reel of voices.

What is on the roll

More than photos.

Every moment collects three kinds of media, and the tools to do something with them.
