Photo Montage Memories

Ideal for weddings, anniversaries, birthday milestones, reunions, memorials, high school and college graduations, Eagle Scout ceremonies and other special events.

Don't host another boring still slide show. We produce spectacular DVD slide shows with cinematic effects like the Ken Burns Effect that utilizes a method of panning and zooming on a photo with your custom soundtrack. The final product is a DVD disc that is compatible with almost all DVD players and can be controlled just like a movie (i.e. pause, fast-forward, etc.).

Three Easy Steps To Creating Your Photo Montage:

1. SELECT: You must first make the tough decision -- which photos to choose and which to lose. Try making a "YES" pile and a "NO" pile. Select the photos that will tell your family's story the best. WARNING: This process may be too much fun!

2. SORT: Gather all of your YES photos together. We suggest you put them in chronological order. Start with the early photos and work your way forward to the present day. You may have some photos or groups of photos that will work better in their own little chronological sequences; such as, career, job or business photos, house photos, lake home photos, vacations, grand-kids, etc. You can even accent these by using a special music theme for each group and perhaps even giving each group its own title; for instance, you could place the title "Our First Christmas" before the holiday group.

3. NUMBER: Number your photos on the back with either a pencil or stickers (post-it notes work well). DO NOT USE a pen as the ink may rub off onto the other photos. This is also the time to start thinking about music and titles. You'll at least want a greeting at the beginning and some closing statement at the end of your video. For example, if you are making an graduation video, you could simply put "You Made It Son!" at the beginning and "With Love, From Mom and Dad" at the end. Or, if you wish, you can be more personal and creative in your titles. Why not use some poetry or a favorite quotation?

4. READY: When you are ready, you can either drop off the photos at our office in Huntington Beach, CA (appt. required), upload them to our website (free membership required), or mail them (address on Contact Us page).
