How this story feels

An empty chair, an invitation, simply being part of it. The film tells of the moments when this person had already saved a place for you.

An illustration of your film story

Your film story

  • An empty seat leads to the first invitation. The invited person shows a photo from back then and tells how they accepted the place.

  • More people add a chair and tell their own memory. The individual invitations grow into a big circle in which everyone says what it meant to them.

  • The chairs come together in the bright garden. The person you want to thank chooses their own seat. This time you prepared the circle for them.

A piece of your story to keep

Your gift to accompany the film

What to bring with you

Film length
  • For your 1-minute film, around 6–10 varied photos or short clips is a guide.
  • A clear photo of the people who should appear in the film.
  • Photos of real invitations and seats, for example from a breakfast, a rehearsal room or the park.
  • Recent photos of everyone involved with their chairs, and a photo of the circle in the garden.
  • Choose your strongest moments for a compact story.
  • No need to sort everything first. Let Videomento suggest pictures or choose yourself. You confirm the selection before production. If a key memory is missing, we will tell you what would help.
