A loved one passing away is a terrible experience. Working on creative ways to commemorate their life and times can help us process grief and heal. A tribute video is a fantastic way to remember a friend or family member that is no longer with us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we\u2019ll show you how fast and easy it can be to create a tribute video, who knows – you may even end up enjoying the process\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of were your tribute video will be shown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Will it be shown in the funeral itself? In a smaller memorial gathering, wake or shiva? Are you planning to post it to social media or share it via email?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the right tone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A funeral video<\/a> can be solemn or humorous, uplifting or sad. Think about the subject of your tribute video as well as the potential audience – and make sure the tone of the video is appropriate. You don\u2019t want to offend people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose a theme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Think about things that the deceased loved in real life and incorporate them into your creation. It can be their line of work, their favorite pastime activities, their favorite sports of their family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose a platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of platforms out there you can use in order to create your tribute video. The more technically-inclined can use professional video editing software like Premiere, others can use generic editing tools like Microsoft Video Editor. Online slideshow makers are also an option \u2013 slideshows are basically videos made out of still photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pick photos \/ footage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go through all the photos and video footage you have of the deceased. Try to source more material from friends and family \u2013 this curation process can be a great opportunity to remember and cherish your loved one. Pick only the photos and videos that best exemplify the life and times of the person you lost. These should be the images you want to remember them by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nail down the right music<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Music is a huge part of your tribute video. If you already know what the general tone of your creation is, it will be easy to nail the tone of the music. Think about bands, singers and genres that the deceased loved in his life, or songs with lyrics that have something to do with them and their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
