For a retirement

A retirement video from everyone they worked with

Decades of colleagues are hard to get in one room. Send one link and each of them can record a short toast from wherever they are now.

How it works

  1. Send one link.Put it in the group chat or an email. Nobody needs an app or an account.
  2. Everyone records a toast.Up to a minute each, with easy questions if they get stuck. They can add up to three photos.
  3. You shape the film.You pick the music, who’s in it, the order and the words. We do the editing that would take you hours, trimming every toast and cutting the ums and ahs.
  4. It arrives on the day.By email at the time you choose, or gather everyone round the TV and press play together. You can also see their reaction.

Reach the people who left years ago

The people who shaped someone’s career have often moved on: the first manager, the team from two offices ago, the person they trained who now runs the department. A link reaches all of them, and the family too.

A retirement speech lasts a few minutes and is gone. This one they can watch again at home, with the people who know them from outside work.

What should everyone say?

We keep a list of questions for each person in their life, all easy to answer on the spot. Questions for a retirement video.

Questions

Can a company use this for a work farewell?

Yes. A farewell or a work milestone works just like any other film. Say it’s for an organization when you request early access.

What if someone’s camera shy?

They get a few easy questions to answer, can watch their toast back, and retake it as many times as they like. Only the take they choose goes in the film.

Does anyone need to download an app?

No. Everyone opens your link on their phone or computer and records right there, with no app and no account.

How much does it cost?

Nothing while we’re in early access.
