Transfer of photographs to video is an inexpensive way to share prized family photos with others. You may design your own package, or select one of our Commemorative Video Packages.
A Commemorative Video is a mini-production of photographs highlighting a person's or family's life. It is enhanced with music and titles. These make a special gift for anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, weddings, retirements, etc.
When planning to show a Commemorative Video at a special event, you may want to have some duplicates prepared in advance. You're sure to have many requests for copies!

Organizing Photos

Each photo will be in view for 9 seconds unless otherwise requested. All photos to be shown for the same time increment.
Transition from photo-to-photo will be a dissolve
2 Hour video will hold 700 photos (Standard transfer)
Horizontal photos will best fill the TV Screen. We will zoom in on the subject unless instructed otherwise.
Vertical photos will be zoomed in to fill the screen or shown entirely with black borders on each side (at our discretion unless customer voices a preference).
Photos can range in size from 1 X 2 inches to a horizontal 8 X 10 inches.
Customers should be made aware that it is their responsibility to obtain copyright permission for commercially produced photographs. We will assume this has been handled if you send photos to be transferred (see COPYRIGHT).

Presentation of Photos
Photographs should be stacked in order and numbered on the back. Secure the stacks to minimize movement. If necessary, larger photos can be stacked separately and will be re-inserted in the stack when we work them. If numbering with felt tip markers, be sure they are dry before stacking them. Stickers work well but avoid post-its as they tend to fall off. Captions on the edge of the photos will probably be cropped out.
If slides and photos are intermixed, there will be additional charges.
