Is there anything that strikes fear into the heart of a visitor to the house more than the screening of 'home video's'?
Other than the 'baby-bath-time' photos that are dug out to put off the prospective spouse, the 'hv' is probably the most cringe-worthy experience that you are likely to suffer at the hand of parents, aunties, grannies, in-laws, or worse, future in-laws!
However - I have discovered that, when birthdays, anniversaries or any other special occasion comes around, if you present someone with one of these new fangled DVD movie things full of old family photos/videos put to a few wisely chosen 'old fave' tunes, the face lights up, the heart warms, maybe even a tear is shed, and bottom line, you'll eat and drink (even get your washing done) for life off the back of one of these!
So, without further-a-do...
Linked below is a clip (1.5MB) and a full length version (12MB) of a DVD I did a few months ago for my Dad, to give ou an idea of what is possible.
If you would like to consider one of these (which are guaranteed to be a sounder investment than any private pension plan on the planet) please get in touch.
They start at about £50 but it all depends on what you want. Please note that these are not automated slideshows - I choreograph each of the images, usually to suit the timing, mood and feel of the music you've chosen. They come supplied with a custom designed sleeve in a DVD. I can produce as many copies on DVD as you need and it's also possible to put a copy on the internet for others to view - maybe family or friends abroad. Web space can be arranged for long or short term or I can supply a copy on disk for hosting on your own website.

So, what do you need to supply me with?
Your Pictures - hard copies or on disk.
Music - I'm limited to what is available on iTunes or what you can give me on CD
Movies - I can use footage from your digital video cameras and also if you have old analogue VHS - Analogue is a little more time consumming (and therefore cost consumming) so ask me to quote.
I've done several of these now so if you want to see some finished articles please get in touch.

My email - address can be found on my website - sorry, no links in order to avoid more mountains of spam...
