Photos
Before you bring your photos to us, it is best to do a bit of homework... Put the pictures in the order you want them to appear on the video, and mark them on the back, with a pencil. Never use a pen or marker, because the ink may transfer to the picture below it in the pile. If the pencil is not showing clearly, use small stickers on the back of the picture, and number these. Never use stickers or write on the front of the photo.Try to choose photos that are oriented horizontally rather than vertically, they will look better on TV because TV's are wider than they are high. Before you number them, put them in the EXACT order you want. This will eliminate numbering errors. Start with number one (1) and continue in order to the last number.
If your photos are from a digital camera, copy the pictures you want to use to a new folder on your computer. Then rename the photos in order, starting with the number 0001. Burn the resulting folder to a disc, which you can drop off or send to us, or upload them to our FTP site.
Do you have a scanner? If the answer is yes, then you can save money on your photo to video job by scanning the pictures yourself and uploading the resulting compressed folder to our server! In addition, if you want to use the photos from your digital camera, then you can upload those as well! We will then format your pictures so that they are "TV friendly", place them in the order you wish on the video, add music and titles as per your instructions, and then make your final copies on DVD that you can pick up here at our office, or for a small fee, we can ship them to you in the mail.
