In order to produce a finished video that not only looks good but makes sense, there are steps that you must do
because you have the knowledge of who is who and when things happened. These instructions are meant to
help you help us to produce a DVD that you'll cherish forever.
1. Gather Photos and/or Videos: If using printed photos, try to avoid those that have been damaged or are
blurry (if possible). Minor color, brightness and contrast adjustments will be made as required, as well as
cropping and zooming of your photos for better viewing. You can supply either digital photos (on CD) or
hard-copy photographs, or both. Videos must be on VHS, 8mm tape, mini-DV, .avi or .mpg on disk, or DVD.
2. Gather Memorabilia: Memorabilia can include items such as birth certificates, diplomas, awards and just
about anything that can be scanned.
3. Identify Events: In order to properly present the sequence of photos and or video scenes in your video
scrapbook (especially for complicated projects) you'll need to layout a timeline of events (storyboard). This
becomes the plan on how your video will be arranged. Think of the video as a collection of chapters in a book,
each chapter representing an event. Select titles for each chapter.
4. Organize: Using your storyboard, and assemble your photos, memorabilia and videos into piles that
correspond to the chapters. Arrange your chapters in the order that you want them to appear and then within
each chapter, organize and arrange your photos in the sequence you want them to appear.
5. Think About Your Music: Music sets the mood. We can choose the music or if you prefer, you can chose
your own music to be used in your video scrapbook. It's important to note that although songs may sound
emotionally moving, the words may convey a meaning that's irrelevant or even opposite to the visual image that
you're trying to present. So, think about your music selection carefully. Select songs that have significant
meaning with lyrics and match the occasion. If you own the songs that you want to use, please provide us with
your CD or .mp3 file. If you do not own the song, a selected song can be legally purchased for you if you wish.
One to two songs per 30 photos is appropriate considering the display timing for each photo.
6. Continue On To "Let's Get Started": The next step is complete the section called "Let's Get Started" . Here's
you'll identify the images, music and captions and where they should be located in the movie.
