FOUR EASY STEPS is all it takes. . .
printer friendly
- SELECT
Gather your photos together - sort them in the "Yes" pile and the "No" pile. We recommend about 200 photos which creates a 20-minute video. (For funeral services, 10 minutes or 100 photos may be better.) When desiding which photos to include, ask yourself, "does it help tell the story." Our digital process helps bring back faded colors - your pictures will look better on the video than they did when you brought them to us. We also frame the important parts of your photos for your TV screen, so don't worry about pictures that aren't cropped properly - we'll get it right.
Don't feel limited by photos. We can use slides and video clips, too.
- SORT
For a biographical video, we recommend using a simple chronological order. This gives your video context and makes a powerful impact. Try to show all aspects of the person's life - early years, marriage, family, career, job or business photos, special interest/hobbies, house photos, special locations, vacations, grand-kids, etc.
- NUMBER
Number your photos on the back with either a pencil or post-it notes. DO NOT USE a pen as the ink may rub off onto the other photos. Alternately, you can group them into plastic baggies and number the baggies. One photo will usually stand out as THE photo that you best remember that person by. We like to use this photo for opening/closing scenes and DVD case and label artwork.
You may also want to consider if you want a quote at the end - shorter is better. It helps make a nice ending to your video.
- MUSIC
You will be the best judge about what the right music will be based on your family's experiences and preferences. If you want some ideas, we can provide some samples to help you develop some choices. We prefer to have your music on CD, but ask us if you don't have the musical selection that you would like. We can take care of that for you.
WE DO THE REST!
