Because of the unpredictability of the filming environments in this category, we decided to break the packages down into two main categories – filming length, and editing type. Filming length is self-explanatory, but there are differences in the editing type. The Basic Editing option will include basic titles, basic transitions, and basic editing techniques (almost like just taking the video & putting on a disc). Although, it will still be a very professional looking video, just without all the flash that might distract the viewer from the video’s subject matter. The Advanced Editing option will include eye-catching, custom designed titles and transitions, unlimited creative and advanced editing techniques, and anything else we can throw in there to make the video stand out for our client.

Event Length:

Up To a 1 Hour Event  Basic Editing: $100  Advanced Editing: $175

Up To a 2 Hour Event  Basic Editing: $200  Advanced Editing: $275

Up To a 3 Hour Event Basic Editing: $300 Advanced Editing: $400

$10 – Each Additional DVD in a Paper Envelope

From your child’s soccer game, to your workout at the gym, to even High School or College level sporting events, we want to capture it all for you. We can also video a practice, or training session to help you, and your coach or trainer, evaluate your performance to achieve better results in any sporting event you’re passionate about, and take your game to the next level! This is the perfect training tool for golfers looking to evaluate their swing techniques.

Photo Montage

Need photos transferred to DVD? Need a photo slide-show for a presentation, event, or to give as a gift? We can organize your photos, edit them in need be, add some music, or transitions and make a beautiful photo montage on a DVD for you to play at a birthday party, anniversary, a wedding, or just so you can have your photos organized and preserved forever on a high quality DVD. Photos or a CD of images can be mailed to us from anywhere. We will produce the DVD and send it to you along with the originals.

How-To Get Started – First, we need all your photos. You can give them to us all pre-scanned on a CD (Walmart or CVS can do them for you) or for a modest fee, you can give us the hard copy of the photos, and we will scan and modestly edit the images for you. Please note that if you are going to hand us the photos as hard copies, you need to number them on the back with a pencil, not pen, or section them with rubber bands, and Post-Its, or whatever works for you in communicating to us what images you want us to use, and in what order. If you have them on a CD, make sure you name the photos in order or give us a list to us on paper, showing the order you want the photos on the video. We will also need you to tell us of background music that you would like to put with your photos. You can either provide us the music (we support many, if not all audio formats), or for a small fee, we can download the music from our library. Most of our clients give us, on average, 3 songs to choose from, and some only want a certain part of the song on a certain part of the photo montage… yes, we can do that for you too! It all depends on what you want on and how you want your photo montage to look.

DVD Length – We can make it as short or as long as you want (depending on content), including how long each image can be displayed. But as a default, we set the photos to be displayed for 5 seconds. So, as an example, if you give us 50 photos, the Montage will be, on average, about 2.5 – 3 minutes long. With 100 images, the Montage will be at least 5 minutes long. Transitions (dissolving from one photo to another) can shorten or lengthen the amount of time the photo is displayed, so keep that in mind. And, for a modest additional fee, we can also add short video clips from one of your videos to the photo montage if you want. The charge for this is based on the length of the video, it’s source (tape, file, etc.) and the amount of editing of your video that may be required to render it into the montage.

Completion Time – If you need your photo montage ASAP, we can do the Basic Package for you in as little as 48 hours. The other Packages require some creative input, so the time of completion varies from one project to the next. We strive to meet, or beat our time of completion estimates, as this is very important to us, and we know how important it is to you.
