Checklist for preparing your items:
- Decide on the overall theme of your video.
- Assemble all the materials you would like to include
in your video.
- Film/Digital Photos
- Video Clips
- Negatives/Color Slides
- Memorabilia (newspaper clippings, wedding invitations,
etc)
- After you have all of your items assembled, number
them in the order in which you want them to appear
in your DVD slideshow. Most clients label their pieces
by either using a piece of tape or a pencil on the
back of their item.
- Select the music you would like to use for your
DVD slideshow. If you do not have a copy of the song
you would like to use, we can purchase a copy for
you at an additional cost.
Having Your Materials Scanned:
 The
utmost care is taken to reassure you that your memorabilia
is returned to you in the same condition it was received.
However, you may choose to have your materials scanned
ahead of time to supply to us on disc, thus eliminating
any possible discomfort in having them leave your hands.
If you choose to scan your materials (photos, documents,
drawings, scrap book pages, birth certificates of baby
etc) please be sure everything is scanned in color at
a minimum of 300 dpi. All images should be saved in
a .JPG format and saved onto a CD-ROM.
Should you attempt to scan something that is too large
to fir on the scanner bed, scan ½ the image at
a time, making sure to overlap images and we will combine
them to make a single image.
Preparing Your Video Clips:
- Rewind your video to the beginning (whether it is
a digital video tape, VCR tape, or 8MM) and reset
the counter on your VCR or camera to zero.
- While watching your move, write down the number
on the counter of what clips you’d like to include…beginning
and end times. Also, give a description of each clip.
- Please indicate if the audio portion of your clip
is what you’d like to hear or if you’d
like music over it. It is possible to have just a
portion of the clip heard as well. (Ex. If the person
in the background is talking and is important to hear,
mark that section down).
Please call us at 215.313.4112 to schedule the production
