Career Portrait: a career portrait video about you
A career portrait video from yume is a narrated film of about a minute that tells the story behind someone's working life. You share a LinkedIn profile and a photo, answer a few optional questions, and we make a calm, documentary-style portrait of who they are and where they are going. It is ready in about 15 minutes.
Made with their photos. A cinematic career story
What happens in a career portrait video
It feels like a short documentary. A narrator tells the story while the camera moves between a calm white studio and the places that shaped their career.
They walk into the studio
The film opens as they walk in, sit down and meet the camera, before the narrator sets up what makes their story interesting.
The story, not the CV
Their real companies, schools and turning points become one clear thread: what they have built, what drives them and why people love working with them.
A look ahead, and a nod
It ends on what comes next, back in the studio with a quiet nod to the camera and a closing card.
From a profile to a personalized career video
Nobody has to film or edit anything. Share a profile and a photo, and we make the career portrait video for you.
