1. Pick out your favorite shots from your photo albums or digital collection and put them into a discernible order. Remove photos from your albums (we don't remove photos); old adhesive can be almost like glue, so be careful when extracting them. HINT: Avoid picking out too many photos depicting group shots, though you may feel compelled to do so. The primary thing about a Movie Slideshow is that interesting "scenes" are best generated from interesting and unusual (and often funny) photos.

2. Put your photos in some kind of sequential order. Either use Sticky Notes or light pencil to indicate be carefully indicate names, dates, places, etc. HINT: It's not necessary, and in fact, not recommended that you place photos in strict sequential order. Sometimes the best scenes "jump" from one time to another. Remember, it's not so much about the accuracy as it is about entertainment value.

3. Consider some music ideas. We have a nice collection of classical, big band, jazz and contemporary music choices, but your are welcome to provide us with some of your favorite music choices (CD's only). HINT: It is best to allow the producer as free a rein as possible when it comes to tracking music selections. Odd as it may seem, most of the best scene music tracking results come by way of simple experimentation.

4. Contact us to set up a time when we can get together at your home and go over the project. At this time, we'll provide you with an estimate for final project. Half the estimated amount will be payable at this time. Cash or Check only, please.

5. Let us get to work on it. You will be provided with up to five Quicktime Movie proofs of the project as it is being produced, and one video CD (video only), for fine-tune proofing, when the project is nearly completion.

6. After you have approved the final proof and given us the "green light," we collect the remaining production fee, and then we'll produce and deliver your DVD Master copy of the project.
