Getting Started on your Photo Video Montage
1. Schedule your free consultation by emailing us. We'll help you every step of the way!

2. Choose your photos wisely. It's the most essential task. Make it easier by sorting your favorite and highest quality shots. Don't worry about scratches or other damage; we can probably handle it. But leave out any out of focus or grainy photos.

3. Number each photo by placing a sticky note on the back. Do not write on the photo, as this will compromise the life expectancy of your photo. If you are providing digital files, rename each file with the number (i.e. 027.jpg). This will help us identify your photos.

4. If you choose to scan the images your self we ask that you scan your images at the highest resolution possible. This will create a crisper presentation.

5. Decide what type of show you would like. Do you want an emotional and slow moving show? Or would you prefer a peppy and uplifting show? Perhaps you would like to have a range of emotions within the show, combining songs to set the mood. Deciding this will help you choose your music. We can give suggestions, however choosing music is a very personal decision. You may provide us with your original CD or we will purchase music for you on your behalf. You must own each song for your own personal use to comply with copyright laws. The number of photos you have will determine how many songs you will need. A good rule of thumb is 5-6 seconds of song time per photo . We can usually compress or extend the transitions to make them fit the song, but we may ask you to choose more music if you just have too many photos.

6. Prepare your materials for shipping. It is recommended that you send your photos via an insured traceable method. Be sure to package them so that your photos will not be damaged. We will do the same when it is time to return your photos.
