What Are Musical Video/Photo
Montages?
Musical Photo Montages are a series of photographic images and video that
when put together with music make one large digital file. They involve blending
and construction of photographs and musical pieces to create custom works
of video art. Digital special effects and state of the art software, as well
as a lot of time, care and consideration go into making them unique and very
personal art pieces.
A video musical video/photo montage will be perfect for your special occasions
such as these:
* Wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners
* Wedding anniversaries (25th, 50th, etc.)
* Graduation open houses
* Birthdays
* Valentine's Day
* Family reunions
* Memorial services
* Recital or sporting events
* Retirement parties
* Bar / bat mitzvahs
* Holiday vacations
* Mother's/Father's Day thank you gift for parents
* Life Story of a family elder or ancestor
* New Baby
What Do I Put Into My Musical Photo
Montage?
Materials for your musical photo montage can include absolutely anything
that can be photographed or scanned. Commonly, photographs of people are
used in a photo montage. However, other cherished keepsakes can be used in
the montage to make it very personal and original. Some ideas are: cutouts
from books, magazines and newspapers, yearbook photos, birth certificates,
obituaries, graduation announcements and diplomas, greeting cards, wedding
invitations, baby announcements, ticket stubs, report cards, car titles and
other important documents. The list goes on and on.
Three-dimensional objects can be photographed and used as well. For example:
high school Varsity letters or sports trophies, military metals and dog tags,
eyeglasses, baby blanket or first pair of shoes, cross-stitched and other
hand made linens, an old diary or love letters, wedding rings, hotel key,
sea shells, food, a bottle of champagne, favorite piece of furniture, a child's
finger painting or baseball glove, flower garden, record albums, car keys,
pet's collar or name tag, lucky golf club, favorite clothing item…the
possibilities are endless. Remember, your montage preserves a lifetime of
treasured memories so include absolutely anything that is very dear and special
to you.
So what all is included in your musical photo montage
on DVD:
Your musical photo montage comes on a DVD that can be viewed on a TV or
computer. We combine your photographs, music and video clips into a multimedia
DVD that you can give as gifts to friends and family or keep for yourself
When you insert the DVD into your player you will see a main menu with
title and photo. Using your remote control you will have the option to either
play the movie or go to a scene selection menu that lists chapters and titles
for other sections of the DVD. The musical photo montage will include an
introductory title slide, concluding slide, photo transitions and motion
effects, sound track synchronizing with your choice of music, and careful
attention to details. We can do a special effect you might want or keep things
minimal so that the effects don't overshadow the photos themselves.
A Musical Photo Montage makes a perfect gift for
anyone!
Ordering your personal musical photo montage is simple! Your montage is
made to suit your personality. So you may include instructions on how
you want your montage constructed or you can leave the creativity entirely
up to me.
After I receive your material, I will contact you personally, either by
email or most likely telephone, to discuss your order. I will give you a
price estimate depending on the level of difficulty and number of photographs
and songs you'd like included in your montage. Then simply mail or email
copies of your photographs, scanned images, and cds of your chosen music
to me. If you'd like me to scan any documents or papers, just mail them to
me and I will carefully scan them and return them to you unharmed. After
receipt of all of your materials, I will begin working on your very special
one-of-a-kind musical photo montage. I will keep a digital copy of your finished
montage on file for future reprints or changes. All music, photos or other
originals are handled with great care and are returned to you intact.
It's Easier Than You Think
You . . . provide the photos, music, and an idea of how you'd like it
arranged. Include any memorable items you'd like to include such as personal
letters, momentos, newspaper articles, etc.
I will optimize your your photos, add music, titles, chapters, captions,
quotes, motion effects and transitions to enhance your photos or video. We
can record a script or voiceover, do split screens, sound effects, slow &
fast motion, etc. My only goal is to deliver a professional presentation
that exceeds your expectations!
Whatever your goal: You may choose a reflective musical photo montage
with slowly cascading photos and gentle fades or something light-hearted
and fast-paced using explosive animations and spinning pictures. I will take
the time to really understand your ideas and incorporate your personality
into your project.
Whatever your audience: musical photo montages are a great way to preserve
precious moments of your life, tell a story, give a family history lesson,
celebrate life's special events, or tell someone you love them. Video slideshows
are often shown at weddings, anniversaries, graduations, birthdays, bar/bat
mitzvahs, reunions and other events. Imagine how your special person will
enjoy seeing family, friends, places and events from the past set to their
favorite music and enhanced with visual effects to make your tribute DVD
something that will endure for many years.
So Why Should You Choose Us?
Our company philosophy is built around
two simple ideals: quality products
and
excellent
service.
We Make a Quality Product !
We are committed to consistently creating the highest quality product.
We aren't willing to compromise on quality because we want to enjoy what
we do. And our enjoyment comes from producing great quality musical photo
montages. What this means for our customers is that they get a great deal.
You'll always get more than you pay
for. - Some shops offer low quality products at a cheap
price to get you to buy and then make you pay extra for the nice stuff. We
want our customers to get a musical photo montage that is absolutely,
breath-takingly gorgeous. So, we don't offer low quality options. All our
packages have quality features included, just as we would do if we were making
them for our own family and friends. Our prices are competitive with the
best DVD slideshow companies on the Internet. We're not the least expensive,
but no one produces finer work than we do. Our combination of excellant
workmanship and agressive pricing ensures you we will give you the best value
you can get.
DVD media and case - We use the
highest-quality DVD media on the market. Our water-resistant DVD-R disks
have a durable WaterProof coating that protects the disk from smudging due
to moist fingers, humidity, and spills. In addition to protecting the disk,
the glossy surface produces exceptional printing quality that enhances colors
and results in impressive color depth. Our disks always look great! All our
DVDs come in durable Polypropylene plastic cases. It is the industry standard
(14mm) DVD packaging, the same cases you find in all major DVD video stores.
We custom-design all our DVD covers using your
photos to express individual style and personality.
Photo Optimization - Titles and text
effects - I can do just about anything with text. I can add fades, zooms,
rotations, lighting effects, and motion to your titles. Or I can be subtle.
The key is knowing the appropriate use of one style or another.
Transitions and photo motion - Often
I've seen others in this business rely way too much on trendy computer graphics
that compete with the photographs for attention. As time passes however,
your photos become more and more precious. I believe the focus of your musical
photo montage ought to be on your photos, NOT on the latest special effects.
I use transitions and photo effects to enhance your musical photo montage,
so as not to distract from your photographs.
Excellent Service - I'm committed
to giving you cost-effective, high quality products and the excellent service
you deserve. My service commitment has resulted in repeat business, referrals
and long-term relationships with many of my clients. I promise you will be
delighted with the production quality of your DVD. I will exceed your
expectations... I guarantee it.
We custom-design each musical photo
montage. - I don't use a "brown wrapper" approach. I don't
offer just pre-built templates for you to choose from. The last thing you
want for your special celebration is to get a "plain jane" slideshow made
from pre-built templates. Your slideshow should express YOUR style. It should
be something you are going to cherish and enjoy for years. So I work hard
to ensure you are going to be overjoyed with it.
I Listen. - We'll talk about what
you're looking for in a musical photo montage. I'll learn about your tastes
and preferences before I start on your project. I'm open to your ideas, and
see my goal as fulfilling your needs. You can call or email me anytime. I'll
do my best to answer to all of your questions.

my joys is creating "brand new baby" video albums. Whether you are celebrating

Reunions: Everyone takes
pictures at family reunions, but seldom do we get to share photos with one
another. Wouldn't it be great to put the best photos each person has taken
over the years, and put them together in a photo memories DVD that everyone
could watch? Then you could invite everyone, all the aunts, uncles , nieces
and nephews, grandma, and grandpa and see how you all have matured and grown
over the years? Let me make you a retrospect video album that your whole
family will treasure for years to come.

soldier feel included in your family-life while they are away from those
they love. Share your photos or video of family events, children's birthdays,
holidays, or a typical day at home with the kids. With a DVD slideshow or
musical photo montage, using photos you take of the special occassions or
just the day-to-day events of the past few months, you can share the passing
moments of life together, even though you're apart. This is a great reason
to make a video scrapbook on DVD. I offer a 15%
