Video Photo Montage - More than just a "slide show"

Slide Show Montage for Austin

Most of us have seen the documentaries on PBS, using a combination of still images, video music and narration. Or perhaps you've seen the "Biography" series on the A&E network. Have you ever thought, "what if there was a documentary about me?" You might think that you'd never be the subject of such a production. These documentaries are reserved for politicians, movie stars, and sports heroes. At one time, this would have been true, but no longer.

What if you, or someone you love, could be presented in the same documentary style as you see in film, or on television? Just imagine, watching a documentary of a family member you were too young to have known. Family and friends are more important to each other than any movie star, or sports legend. You or your loved ones can be the subject of their own documentary.

We can produce a documentary from photographs, 35mm slides, video tape, super 8mm, or standard 8mm film, video we capture, or all of these combined. Your still images and precious videos can be preserved on the durable DVD format. Your video might be a "Love Story" for a bride and groom to be viewed at your wedding rehearsal dinner. Or a life chronicle of a loved one.

This is an opportunity to capture the movement and voice of a father or mother, grandparent or child as they are in that very moment. A thoughtfully crafted keepsake video will become a treasured family heirloom.
