You thought you were keeping your home movies in a safe place. Then you popped in Tommy’s soccer season tape and Bart Simpson told you to eat his shorts.

So rather than stashing your most precious moments in a dusty box, turn them over to Home Sweet Home Video to be consolidated, reformatted, or reconstructed into video biographies delivered on tidy DVDs.

Founded by television production vets, the company helps you tell the story you want to tell about yourself, family, friends, or even your pet through interviews, mixed media, memorabilia, and music. After much discussion, research, and hours of shooting, you’ll wind up with a professionally complied and edited cinematic tale to wow Gramps and nonrelatives alike.

In addition to documenting your life, you can ask to inventory the contents of your entire home. Via videotape and photographs, they’ll give you a list of all your heirlooms, electronics, art, and the rest of your special stuff that you can use for insurance purposes or just safekeeping.

Because you wouldn’t want anything to happen to your prized possessions.

Even if they are at the back of a closet.
