Photo DVD, Photo CD or Photo Slide
Show on Videotape A photo slide show is a wonderful way to share your family pictures and memories. You can play your
photo slide show on your DVD Player or your computer's DVD-ROM drive or play your videotape in your VCR. You choose the format you prefer. Your
photo slide show can hold about 1200 pictures. If you wish to have transitions and music added to the
slide show, we can. There are two ways you can order your photo slide show. The first option is simply a display of your photos. The second option is to add titles, transitions and music along with your pictures. We can also produce a custom slide show which includes photos and video segments. Key Benefits

as a Musical Slideshow |
The Process:
- Collect your photos.
- Determine the order in which you'd
like your pictures to appear.
- We accept hard copy photos, emailed
photos and Photos on CD. All media WILL be returned.
- ALL formats must be assigned a number
so we know the order you would like them to appear. The hard copy photos
should have an Avery-type self-sticker dot with a number written on the back
for identification purposes. Please avoid writing directly on the back of
photos as this transfers onto the photos beneath it.
- We can choose the music unless you
have suggestions or family favorites you would like us to use.
- Determine the layout of your
production. The two most popular formats are the chronological layout and the
themed layout. Examples of themes: Ancestry, Children and Grandchildren,
Holidays and Traditions, Family Travels, Pastimes and Hobbies, etc.
- Four
seconds viewing
per photo is typical. Although this sounds short, it's better to leave your viewers wanting
to view again and again. To
determine how long your production will be, take the number of photos and
multiply by 5 seconds (to allow time for transitions). A
15-minute DVD @ 5 seconds could take 180 photos. If you plan on having an
introduction segment or possibly an intro to each chapter, then 180
photos could actually last about 20 minutes.
- A
photo slideshow is visually stimulating, but keep in mind it needs to be
aurally stimulating as well. We try to use approx. 2 minutes of each song.
We fade one song into the next so that your project will progress smoothly.
We can introduce chapters in various ways. I've provided a
sample of various chapters here. Feel free
to provide us with dates of special events that you would like to "pop-up" on
particular photos....

We can provide a special end to the production which offers a travel through
time segment that provides the viewers with all the historical and social events
that have occurred over a period of time. This is particularly interesting on
family photo slideshows, anniversary photo slideshows and birthday photo
slideshows. The cost is $10.00 if you wish us to add it at the end of your
production. We can provide this from 1900 until the present and it lasts
approximately 10 minutes if you begin in the early 1900's.
