PicturePhotos to DVD Slideshow
     Bring your precious photos or 35mm slides to life with a one-of-a-kind Photo Slide Show.  We will transform your cherished and treasured photos into a  touching slide show to be presented at any special occasion. 
     Your slide show will be the highlight of your social gathering.

     
      Where do I start?     We know how overwhelming gathering all this information can become. Here are some helpful hints:    
1.  Choose your package. 

Determine an approximate length for your video slide show. This will give you an idea how many photos you'll need to gather.

Here's a basic guideline:  
 50  photos are approximately 5-10 minutes of production
100 photos are approximately 10-15 minutes of  production
150  photos are approximately 15-20 minutes of production

Each photo will appear approximately 3-5 seconds.  This will vary depending on  the photo, music tempo and the length of the music track.  Allow 8-10 photos per minute of music and 2-3 seconds between photos for  transitions.


3.  Choose your Options
  • Decide on captions and title pages. 
    • Most slide shows include an opening and ending title page.
  • Do you want to add video clips?  You can provide mpg files
    or we can convert your Standard 8mm film, Super 8mm film, VHS tapes, 8mm Cartridge, Hi8 Cartridge or MiniDV tapes to DVD and include the
    clips.
  • Other additions include personal letters, credit acknowledgements or a personal recorded message.
  • Choose your music selections. 
  • Choose Standard Format 4:3 or Widescreen Format 16:9.
  • Choose an auto start DVD or a DVD with custom menu and chapters at each music track.  Note: Silver and Gold packages include a custom DVD menu.
  • Gather all your elements and come into our office or send them to us via USPS or UPS.
  • Sit back and relax.  Your one-of-a-kind video presentation will be created just for you!
2.  Determine which photos would be appropriate for your occasion.
  • Collect sharp photographs.
  • Organize your photos in the order you want them to appear.
  • Number the back of the photos lightly with a pencil or use post-it notes.
  • If you want an overlay (words appearing with the photo) on a particular picture, apply a post-it note with the wording on the back of the photo.
     Remember... the television screen is a rectangle.  Portrait style photos will  have a border around the photo as shown below:
