The Future of the Funeral Tribute
Video
By Matt Frazer
For the last several years we have seen what I call the
first generation of funeral tribute videos. But I think
just around the corner we are going to start seeing
second generation tribute videos.
The first generation memorial video consisted of photos,
music, intros / endings, scenic video clips, and
personalized captions. However, the second generation
funeral tribute is going to a whole new level. With the
number of cell phones hitting over 4.6 billion in 2010,
and 19% of those are what we call "smart phones", which
are photo and video enabled, I think you see where all
this is headed.
The second generation tribute video is getting ready to
be a whole lot more personal with short 30-60 second
live video clips of the loved one. Extending this theory
is one of the hottest items for the 2010 Christmas
season, "The Flip" video camera. It's a small flip style
video camera that can be stored in your pocket or purse
with ease. With products like this, you can see that we
are not far off from the second generation tribute
video.
Another big factor pushing the second generation
memorial video is Facebook. The problem in the past with
all this digital content is that it was extremely hard
to keep organized. Imagine when someone passes away,
trying to find all those photos and videos in a very
short amount of time. Well, we are now at a point, you
can just log into the loved ones Facebook account and
save the digital media to create the ultimate funeral
tribute.
With all the above in mind, does your current tribute
video software allow short video clips of the loved one
to be imported? If the answer is no, you should highly
consider looking at the more advanced funeral
technology. Developers of new funeral software not only
think about the tribute videos of today, but are working
hard to keep you ahead of the curve tomorrow.
The best place on the web to learn more about funeral
technology and funeral tribute video software is Frazer

developing high performing and reliable technology for
the death care industry. They also have a beautiful
selection of funeral keepsakes and holiday remembrance
ornaments. |
