DVD
Montage Preparation |
It
works best to break your project down in sections. Around 25
photos per average song (about 3 minutes)
is a good rule of thumb. Separate each group of photos and number
the sequence order.
Background music is seamlessly mixed to create perfect timing
with the photos.

Photos |
Photos
of any size will be scanned and enhanced with Adobe Photoshop
for the best possible quality and optimum resolution for the DVD
video. If you have a specific sequence order, please number the
back of each photo with a pencil and group with music in the order
you want the pictures presented. |
Digital
Images |
Either
from a digital camera or photos you scan on your own. If you scan
photos on your own, please be sure to scan at 300dpi minimum for
best quality results. If you have a particular order you want
them to be displayed, please number each image file with the sequence.

Slides
or Negatives |
Any images
on slides or negatives will be scanned and retouched for best
quality on the DVD.

Memorabilia |
Items
like newspaper clippings or awards often make great content for
a montage. |
Video Clips |
You can
provide digital video clips either on a disc or by email (depending
on file size) in any of the various digital video formats. Video
on VHS or any camcorder tapes can be captured and edited for clips
to use as well. Include the scene description and time stamp for
each tape. |
Music |
Picking
out songs that work well with the subject is important. Here are
some song ideas that have
worked well in montage projects. You can provide music you own
on CD to use in your project or we can download songs for you. |

new images, etc. You can also suggest captions or other additions
to make your project just the way you want it. |
