    How it comes together

    I think most of us would be surprised by how much we mean to the people around us, and by how specific it is. The way you laugh. Advice you gave once and forgot about.

    We rarely get to hear it, but it’s all there, and it doesn’t take much to bring it out.

    See their reaction

    They can record themselves while they watch, so you get to see how much it meant to them.

    Birthdays, weddings, retirements and goodbyes. A thank you to someone who got you through. Or no occasion at all, just someone you love.

    FAQ

    • Does anyone need to download an app?

      No. They open your link on their phone or computer and record right there. No app and no account, so it’s easy for everyone, whatever their age.

    • Is it too late?

      Probably not. Everyone records in a minute or two, right from the link, so a few days is plenty.

    • What can everyone add?

      A toast of up to a minute, and up to three photos. The photos come together at the end of the film.

    • 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.

    • When do toasts close?

      Whenever you decide. You pick a date when you start, and you can move it if someone needs a little longer.

    • Can guests see each other’s toasts?

      No. Only you, and anyone helping you host, see them before the film. It’s a surprise for everyone, including the people in it.

    • Do I have to edit anything?

      No. Toast trims the pauses and puts everyone in an order that flows. You choose the cover, the words at the start and end, who goes first and last, and the music.

    • How does it reach them?

      By email, at the time you choose, so it lands on the day. Or gather everyone round the TV and press play together.

    • Can they keep it?

      Yes. They don’t need an account, the link keeps working, and they can save the film to keep. It’s theirs.

    • Does it work for a celebration of life?

      Yes. The wording changes throughout, so the film is about them and made for the people who miss them.
