Default Dead and gone, leaving a legacy

Say if you were old and getting close to dying, would you pay some one to make a brief documentary about you. So it could be shown to the grand kids and be used as part of a video family tree.

I'm wouldnt be setting out to 'steal' old granny's pensions. Just trying to find a niche in video production market.

I don't want to bore you all with too much information. What are your ideas/thoughts. Plus would you pay for it?

p.s if i've spelled anything wrong..

Ive got loads of photo's and video's which obviously will go to my son when he gets older. I may have these made in a CD or something when im order and give as a present to my son, but I wouldn't get a documentary made.

Thanks for confirming what i thought about the idea. I thought it may have had a small market but i think finding the people who would actually pay for would be the problem.
Americans, yes i know.

I did have an idea of making childrens videos, for birthdays and the like but 'set' the children in space or the north pole (done via green screen)

Anyway, thanks guys/gals. Another day, another idea
