Grief is a profound emotional response to the loss of a loved one, a process that can vary widely from person to person. It’s an overwhelming wave of sorrow, anguish, and emptiness that engulfs people when they’re faced with the reality that someone dear to them has passed away. The experience of grief is a complex mix of emotions that can include sadness, anger, disbelief and, in many cases, a profound sense of loneliness.

Because of this grief, photographs, videos, and mementos of the deceased can take on a special significance. These tangible remnants can become lifelines to the past, allowing families to hold onto precious memories that might otherwise fade over time. A photograph captures their smile. A video preserves the cadence of their voice, the nuances of their expressions, and the warmth of their personality.

These kinds of keepsakes are very important because they allow people to transcend the physical absence of a loved one. While physically the one they loved is no longer here, the photographs, videos, and mementos can become vessels of remembrance, offering a sense of continuity and connection. They can be a source of solace to grieving hearts, and a means to keep the spirit and memory of the departed one alive in the hearts of those they left behind.

DrawAdz can help fulfill this need in a unique way by creating a custom Life Story Video for the family of the person who has died. The artist specializes in creating lifelike portraits that capture the essence of a person’s likeness and recording the process on video.

This life story video will feature the filming of a portrait drawing of their loved one in the process of being created while, at the same time, telling their loved one’s own unique life story. (Similar to the format of the video you’re watching right now). The customer’s own photographs and short videos will be added to the main video which will also include appropriate background music and a real human voiceover highlighting facts and positive details of the deceased person’s life story.

We’ll offer to make different versions of the video. It can be made in different lengths and aspect ratios.

The experienced artist will use professional (archive quality) materials so that the the artwork we send to the customer’s doorstep will last several lifetimes. We also include high-resolution digital files of the finished artwork so that copies of the original drawing can be printed out in various sizes for picture framing. The digital pictures can also be posted to social media or elsewhere online if the customer wishes.

We made a special portrait drawing artwork & life story video for the Thompsons based on a photograph of their deceased loved one and certain details they provided us about her life story. You can see the result in the following video.
