“Memories are the greatest possession we have, and a memorial video reminds us of our wealth”

What is a memorial or tribute video?

• It is a special video focusing on the life of the deceased. This is often shown at a funeral home or house of worship prior to or during a funeral or memorial service.
• It is created using photos, slides, music, text, and needs to be produced very quickly, usually within twenty four hours.
• The formula we refer to is” 30 photos plus 2 songs equals: all the material we need to produce a meaningful memorial video.
• Tribute and memorial videos are much more than a slide show-it is a unique way to focus on the life of the deceased.
• Every photo is digitally restored so that old photos become new and faded photos become vibrant.
• Most memorial videos are 4-6 minutes in length. Photos are animated, motion added and carefully timed to music.
• The video is delivered on a high quality DVD. A photo of the deceased will be displayed until the “play” button is pressed.
• The video will loop, play repeatedly for un-interrupted viewing.
