What is a photo/video montage?

A photo/video montage is a collaboration of your photographs and video clips to create a one of kind video presentation. The pictures come to life using the Ken Burns effect (panning and zooming), flipping the pictures, turning the pictures, crossing the pictures, transitions, and basically doing anything to make your pictures sparkle. It is a perfect gift for any occasion.

How long will to take to complete the project?

It all depends on the amount of pictures that are used. It also depends on whether or not the pictures need to be scanned in or are they provided to the company in a digital format. If a rush order is needed, this is possible for an extra fee.

How long is the average photo/video montage?

This depends on what we are created the video for. If the montage is for a specific event, ie. Bar/bat mitzvah, birthday, wedding, special occasion, we usually make it 8-12 minutes long which is about 100-150 pictures. If it is a video of a specific trip, it will be longer depending on how many photos you have.

Who selects the music for the montage?

The music is chosen by the you, the customer, that fits the feeling you are trying to portray. The songs can either be sent to the company on CD or we can purchase them for $1 per song. If there are songs we already own, then there is no charge. We have many to chose from.

How do I begin to plan for the montage?

For starters, you collect the pictures that you would like to use for the montage and put them in order. You then decide what music you would like to use for these pictures. And then, if you would like to add some titles or specific words with the pictures, we can do that as well.

How many copies of the DVD do I get?

We provide you with two copies of the DVD, which are compatible with most at home DVD players. Any extra copies, there will be an additional charge.

How many changes can I make?

We allow three changes to be made before there is an extra charge. These montages are extremely time consuming and we make sure that the video is to your liking and will probably exceed your expectations. We take your ideas and opinions upfront in hopes there are not too many changes to be made.

What are the payment options?

A 50% deposit is required upfront before we begin making the video. Through the internet, you will have the ability to view the video 2-3 times while it is being made. Upon completion of the video, and your approval, the remaining 50% will be required before the DVD’s are shipped.
