Family History on Video & DVD

Family History DVD

View 100 plus years of your family history in less than an hour. Instead of showing your family and friends boxes of photographs, entertain them with a well produced music video. We take the best of your family photos, slides, home movies, film, and special memorabilia (certificates, souvenirs) you've saved over the years, then we add music and special effects to produce a heartwarming video that will live on in your family forever.

Memorial Video:

We will quickly produce a tribute video of your special person for their service. And, we'll assist you every step of the way. Provide your own music, or use ours. Arrangements for large screen viewing can also be made.

Unique Wedding Concept:

Show your guests the lives of the bride and groom, their travels and their family up until the time of their engagement. It's a wonderful way to include family not able to attend the wedding. Your honeymoon pictures can be added later. The perfect gift for the bride and groom to have and to present at the rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, or at the reception.

Honor Someone Special:

The ultimate gift for:

• Hanukkah
• Christmas
• Birthdays
• Graduations
• Anniversaries
• Retirements
• Bride and Groom

Personal Narration:

Once your photos or film are creatively presented on digital tape, you can come into our studio, be fitted with a microphone, and as the tape is playing, your comments will be recorded on an additional track. We will add your voice and background music as the final step in your production. We can also have the grandkids and other family members come in and say a few special words at the beginning or end of your production.

Videography:

Celebrating a special event? Why not have a professional videographer preserve the moment on video? Keepsake will come and record your special moments so that you can sit back and simply enjoy.

Video Production:

We have package plans of 50, 100, or 200 pictures. Our plans start at $275. We work with you to produce a video presentation that works within your budget. We will often discount our photo production plans when you schedule your production date in advance. This is discussed at the initial no cost consultation appointment. You can also check our Specials page to see what our current sale is.

When film or video footage is incorporated in your video production, we need to transfer the film first and discuss editing notes so that we can include the important 'highlights' of your material. It is never too soon to have the initial meeting so that you are clear at the beginning how to get everything ready.
See Getting your material ready.

We like to make this process easy for you. In fact, you can leave pictures in the frames and in the albums. We will review how to number your material at the consultation meeting. If you do number the backs of any photos, be sure not to use an ink that will mark the photo that it placed on top. Use Post-it notes or a pencil on the back. See How do I prepare my photos?

Getting Your Material Ready:

We will work with you every step of the way. Our production packages include all consultations, pickup and delivery in the Portland/Vancouver area (within 50 miles). Phone to schedule your consultation appointment. Lorelei and Dave will bring sample videos to your office or home and provide you with an explanation of how to get your photos ready. At this appointment, we will discuss how many photos and materials you will include, the exact cost, and your production date will be set. We will go over any last details when we pickup your material. How do I prepare my photos?
