Photos (pictures, slides and negatives)

Each photo is scanned in at a resolution high enough to maintain its true visual presence when printed. You receive your photos on CDs or DVDs in 2 (two) formats. The first is a .tif (lossless) format and should be stored in a separate location (i.e. safety deposit box, or at a relative’s/friend’s house). The second is a .jpg (lossy) format and can be used to make additional prints or copied to your computer.

Narrative

Each photo is placed in the sequence of your choice on the software’s ‘video timeline’ to create a photo slideshow. Narrating the photos (in your voice or a loved-one’s voice), describing the people and events, gives the photo slideshow a unique value. The visual memories along with the voice-over will be treasured by current and future generations.

Family Legacy

Each photo is placed in the sequence of your choice on the software’s ‘video timeline’ and is viewable for approximately 5 seconds then followed by a simple transition to move from one photo to the next. The photo slideshow is then copied to a DVD, which can hold 1 hour of video, the equivalent of 720 photos.

Titles

Titles can be added to the photo to identify people, places, events and dates. This option will increase the time that the photo is viewable, dependent on the length of the title, to give the audience time to read the title and view the photo.

Music

Music adds a professional touch in making the slideshow a more pleasurable event to watch. We can use your favorites or choose music to match the tempo.

Archival

This process is mainly for backup purposes and is viewable on any computer.

NOTE: The Narrative and Family Legacy tiers are viewable using any standalone DVD player or computer with the appropriate software. Some newer standalone DVD players are capable of playing the Archival tier as a slideshow.

    Just looked at them last night. You did a good job. — Jim

    The DVDs were a great hit at the party. Everyone enjoyed the show, despite tears. My father-in-law couldn’t stop watching them. He also liked the music selection. He was anxious to relook at them alone Sunday night. Great work. — Vince

    Thanks so much for the patience that you have had with us through all of this. You have been wonderful and so is your work! I would recommend you to anyone! — Sylvia

    You have done a phenomenal job! When you get famous I’ll be able to say that I knew you when were getting going in the beginning! This may be one of the coolest things I’ve ever owned! Thank you so much. I will tell everyone that I know how great you and your service are. — Katie

    They were great and we sure appreciate your prompt service. The second two DVDs were outstanding in quality but the first was older film that had deteriorated from age or possible from a cheaper brand. Even so , they all brought back fond memories of us and our family and friends when we were all younger. These films we and our kids would never have had the great pleasure of seeing again if you had not made it possible by transfering them to DVDs. — Bob Bowman

    Joe Padavic did a great job of capturing my family’s 8mm & super 8mm home movies. His work is meticulous; he recaptured scenes until he was satisfied that the copies were as perfect as possible. I would recommend him because he is talented, conscientious and a perfectionist and will capture your movies in the format and quality that you want. — Richard

    Just thought I’d let you know that my mom really likes the videos. Thanks so much; you did a great job!!! The frame you selected, for the title sheet on the third one, is a favorite she said. She watched all 3 DVDs today. Have a merry Christmas! — Debbie
