You want your pictures divided into groups by the title of the song with which you would like them
accompanied. We suggest 30 to 40 pictures per song.. A mood enhancing montage will have no more
than 30 pictures per song. If you have 8mm (silent) film, not a problem. We have equipment specialized
between video clips and animated pictures with a music background is so much more enjoyable. It is
You can supply photographs, slides, negatives, digital photos, picture CD's, scanned
photos, video clips, VHS and audio clips.
There are 2 ways of supplying digital photos:
1) On paper or email write the photo name or number in the order you would like to see the picture appear,
along with which group of pictures go with each of your song choices (e.g. 001-024 with song “At Last” by Etta
James.)
2) You can save each picture with a 3-digit number indicating the order that you would like them to appear in the
video (e.g. 001.jpg, 002.jpg). Place the photos that will accompany each song in a separate folder. Name each
folder with the number of the order in which you would like those photos to appear in your video, followed by
the song title that will accompany them.
To supply paper or film photos can be best organized as follows:
If you have photographs or slides we can scan your photos for you using a Professional Epson Expression
10000XL scanner.
Place a numbered sticky note on the BACK of each picture or write the number very lightly with a pencil. Do not
put sticky notes on the front of your photos. Place the photos that will go along with each song into separate
envelopes. I do not suggest zip-lock bags because of humidity.
We will color correct and retouch every picture you send us, and at no additional charge we will send you a
photo CD of all your retouched and color corrected photos no matter which format you use to send us your
pictures.
Your original photos and/or digital media will be returned to you when your video montage is shipped.
