It is helpful to be aware of some age-related issues and your own prejudices about the aging process, before starting to work with them. As an interviewer, you can do a lot to assure a smooth and comfortable trans-generational interaction. Below we share some thoughts and special features of working with older people.

These steps will address specific issues, recounting the background information needed to understand the whole process. Who is your informant? You have found a master artisan whose unique knowledge and working process is inspirational and worth sharing. If s/he shares your enthusiasm about your video project and agrees to participate on-camera – congratulations, you have taken a huge step towards your dream! Now you have to decide the appropriate style of communication, course of action and timetable. Remember: when documenting someone’s creative process, you are also portraying who they are and their life. Be aware of emotional complexities that might be introduced in this process. Think about...
