"The 50th Anniversary Party
was a huge success!
They were overwhelmed!
Since I've seen the DVD a couple
times now, I just watched the
entertainment and emotion
on everyone's faces.
Everyone complimented your work
- even the Caterer!
Thank you so much for doing
such excellent work!"

With a goal of producing only the highest quality video slideshows, we have mapped out a process to set ourselves apart from the competition. A key factor of this process is our desire to tell a unique and emotional story - Your Story!
In any project there is a blueprint or workflow. In the film industry this starting point is called the “Script.” And just like a Hollywood production, the Script must contain Characters, Places, Events and most importantly a Plot! That is why we have created a “Six Step” plan to help you organize your slideshow production and have your story told Cinematically.
Think of this as your chance to be the Producer and we will be your personal Director!

1. FEATURE or FEATUR-ETTE: How Long Should the Photo Slideshow Be?
more info
Just like in Hollywood, a provocative short film can garner equal or more attention than a bloated Epic. After all, not everyone wants to sit through the saga of junior learning how to crawl, stand and walk. Having a timeline will help you decide how many photos to use for your slideshow so that an epic may feel more like an exhilarating short film or vice versa!
2. THE GENRE: What Type of Music should be in the Slideshow?
more info
What Birthday would be complete without a horror soundtrack, right?
Horror?! We meant Humor!
This step will help you not only pick your style of music but will help set the pacing and tone for the video montage. A Wedding slideshow or memorial video might move slower and have
a more poigant tone whereas a Children’s photo slideshow or Birth Announcement video might be more lighthearted and humorous!
3. THE PLOT: The Theme of Your Slideshow.

Telling the story of your parents 50 years together could be challenging...but being able to tie all the important events of their life together visually can prove even more daunting. Our use of Themed Elements not only enhances the overall quality of the slideshow production, but it helps to join those memories together in a cohesive and cinematic way!
4. THE CAST: Stars, Co-Stars, and Cameos.

One of the most crucial elements to a successful video montage or photo montage, besides the cast of characters in the photo slideshow, is the audience. Not everyone likes to see 50 pictures of someone else’s family. But when they see themselves on the big screen it will keep their attention and make them feel like they are involved with the slideshow and not just as a spectator. This step will also help you determine your list for the cast and ending credits.
5. THE EDITING ROOM: Special Effects and Finishing Touches.

Great editing is what makes a photo montage go from ordinary to extraordinary!
It's also what we do best!
This is where we perform music synchronizing, add pans and zooms to bring attention to certain people, and add advanced cinematic transitions!
Lastly, we include a stylish finale - our signature "Flashback" sequence!
6. PRODUCTION: Ready to Burn.

After your video slideshow has been approved and finalized, it is time to design the DVD Menus, Covers and Disc art!
"I just want to express my
heartfelt thanks for the
absolutely wonderful video!
Our family will now have
a cherished memento
for always.
Your talent is great and we
appreciate the many hours
spent to beat the deadline.
Once again, many thanks
for everything!"
