Why Photo Videos?
Photo Videos are wonderful gifts for any life occasion. Your favorite pictures are artistically arranged with background music of your choice. These video memory books are ideal for weddings, graduations, retirements, anniversaries, funeral services - any special event that you wish to commemorate.
FOUR EASY STEPS
1. SELECT (40-150 photos)
We suggest you make a "YES" pile with your favorite photos. You can glean
it down later but this step is important and FUN! Try not to look at each
photo for more than a moment (or it will take forever). Pick the photos
that will best tell the story of that person's life.
2. SORT
Gather all of your YES photos together. The easiest method is to put them
in chronological order. You may have some groups of photos that will work
better in their own chronological sequences; such as career, vacations,
husband and wife pics together, grand kids, etc. You can even accent these
by suggesting special music for each group or giving each group its own
title; for instance, you could place the title "Our Little Ones" before the
grandchildren group.
3. NUMBER
Number your photos on the back with either a pencil or post-it note. DO NOT
USE a pen as the ink may rub off onto the other photos. This is also the
time to start thinking about music and titles. You'll want a greeting at
the beginning, some title in the middle if you have "special groups of
pictures" and a closing statement at the end of your video. For example, if
you are making an birthday video, you could simply put "Happy Birthday Mom"
at the beginning and "With Love, From All Of Us" at the end. Or why not use
some poetry or a favorite quote?
4. CHOOSE SOME MUSIC
You might have some favorite songs that you want included. The music can
be on CD, album or cassette. We will digitally translate the songs for you
and include the music as background for your pictures. Of course, CDs will
sound the best. If you don't have specific music you want used, we will
make appropriate suggestions using our own musical library. As a
reference, 100 images will yield a tape approximately 10 minutes in length
and will require 3-5 songs of your choice.
