Choose your photos / videos / extras_
Prints, slides, digital, or VHS. Either scan your prints and slides yourself (300 or more DPI preferred) or I can do it for you at 25 cents per photo.You are able to put anything in the slide show that can be scanned. How about a cute picture the child drew, or that first grade report card to show in that young mans graduation slide show. Slight imperfections on prints or digital photos are okay, as I can often correct them digitally. - Simple photo editing free of charge.
Choose your music / sound
Choosing the right music is a must. Mellow or upbeat? Serious or funny? Classic or contemporary? It's up to you. I can offer suggestions if you'ld like. You must own each song for your own personal use to comply with copyright laws. If available, I can purchase songs on your behalf and add the price to your package. Your own narration or voice-overs can also be used.
Send me your chosen materials
Get me your photos by hand, mail, or email. Whatever works best for you.

Captions
Captions can be put anywhere. Sometimes it takes seeing the rough draft before the perfect thought or quote comes to mind but words at the beginning or end of the slide show, if used, are needed when I get the photos.
Extras - Backgrounds / Frames / Designs
Many times photos do not take up all the space on the screen; thus, you see some black background. I can leave the background black, change color, or give the background great pizazz. I can add frames, borders, or any look you would like on or around pictures or videos. Extra Ideas
Time for those perfect extras. I have yet to find other slide show designers who offer these type of extras
such as watching certain things move across the screen while watching the pictures or videos? The perfect little 'Extras' add that unforgettable touch.

Examples: Pink hearts move across the screen as you are watching photos of the to-be-married couple. Or how about seeing Santa's face replaced with Grandpa's face? I can get a picture of, let's say, a football to be shown on the screen when you're watching photos of your son's football game. So many ideas to make it an unforgettable slide show.

Most of your thinking is now done and my job begins. I don't just throw everthing together what you give me and then send the final product when I think it's done. I want to make sure I clearly understand what it is you want before I begin the work. I will work on a 'rough draft' that you can see and decide if you want to add or take anything out. Many times other pictures or thoughts come to mind you would like to add after seeing the rought draft. I'll do all I can to make this slide show just what you want.

Most of my customers are not totally sure how they want me to put it together but after seeing a few examples, they trust me to do what I feel would be best. Some, however, know exactially what they want and are glad to know they are the boss.

It's great to throw in creative items to be seen or noticed in the slide show - favorite colors,

flowers, sayings, items, activities, food. I can make
great backgrounds or 'extras' with just a few facts about the person or group it's for.

Example 1:

If Tom always says 'Get the camera!'
when it's his turn to golf, I might then make
it look like he says that in his golfing picture.

Example 2:

They have an inside joke about icecream cones. I then would offer to make icecream cones that I find on a great program I use, to pop up at the perfect time.

Ideas are endless !
