Let's turn those photo albums and boxes of slides
and photos into thrilling family treasures!
We've all been through it (or will in time). The family has
grown and matured, the children now have children of their own, and
everyone would like to have the family pictures. Of course the
negatives are probably lost (who keeps them anyway?) and even if
you still have them, the cost of making duplicates is very high,
especially when you need individual sets for a lot of people. And if the
negatives are gone, the cost starts to look like the national debt.
But there is an answer. Put those slides and photos onto VHS video
so everyone can have a copy. Children, grandchildren, aunts, uncles
and cousins can each have a beautiful copy of your family memories.
No more breaking up albums and dealing out precious photos. Everyone
can have them all.
How does it work?
We'll take your photos and create what amounts to a video slide show,
with photos dissolving into each other
and beautiful music in the background to carry you along.
How can I use this?
These make perfect, incredibly thoughtful and touching gifts
for a birthday, wedding, anniversary, bar/bat mitzvah, first
communion, graduation you name it. Just think about it --
you go to a party or event and take a roll of pictures.
Instead of just making an extra set and handing them over to be
buried in a drawer, you turn those pictures into a beautiful
video rememberance. Years from now, when the pictures are
lost, your family and friends will still be reliving that
day and appreciating you for preserving it in this unique way. And
they'll always remember who is responsible because you can
have your own personal message as part of the program.
Describe it please!
Our basic package consists of 25 to 30 photos or slides, with
one song in the background. The photos are shown for about six
seconds each, unless they're complicated or full of people.
Then we'll extend the time.
We provide two word graphics (full screen) at no cost. We use
broadcast-quality VHS tape and provide a hard-plastic closing
library case for protection. You'll also receive a custom-
generated label for the case and the cassette.
What does this cost?
The total cost for this service is $80.00 plus shipping
and handling. (If you live in Massachusetts, add 5% sales tax.)
(Sorry!)
Added pictures are just $1.00 each, with no reasonable limit.
- At ten pictures per minute (six seconds each) you can fit
300 photos in a 30-minute program. Added text graphics (full
screen or superimposed on pictures) are just $4.00 each.
What do I do now?
Now you just gather those pictures together and put them
in the sequence they're to appear in the program. Number them
carefully, preferably on the back with those little round
colored labels from the stationery department. Then go through
your tapes or CDs and find the song you want on the program. You
can either send along the CD or make an audiocassette copy of
it and send that. If you send more than about 40 photos,
you may need more music. 
You should figure on one typical song for each 30 or so pictures.
Then wrap everything carefully and send it
to us at our address on the home page. Don't forget to insure
it.
Then what?
Include in the package a list of everything you are sending. That
is the number of pictures and the music. As soon as we receive
the package, we'll email you to confirm its receipt, confirm the
cost, and tell you when it will be delivered. Typically, you
should have your tape and your photos back in your hands in
under three weeks.
How do I pay for it?
After we receive the photos, we'll email you with the exact cost and
delivery date. You can then send us a check or money order. Then before
you know it, your tape and your precious photos will be back in
your hands.
Then Enjoy!
