Choosing the Best Video Company for Your Needs!

Try this… Go to Google.com and type in Photo Montage, Video Slideshow, Wedding Slideshow, etc into the search.  You will quickly see that google will pull up about 13,000,000 websites relating to these keywords.  In this day and age of technology and “user friendly software”  there are companies and people everywhere that claim to be slideshow/video specialists.  How do you know which slideshow company to choose?

Before we entered the “digital” world, we used to take photos, get them developed and then stuff them into a photo ablum, photo keepsake box, shoe box, or even a nearby drawer.  On occasion, I still find envelopes with photos that I have forgotten all about.   These poor photos soon became “neglected” and were never looked at again.  In your spare time this coming weekend, do a search and look for some of your cherished memories.  You will be horrified to find that these pictures, although safely tucked away, are drying out, cracking, and turning yellow. Photos, like people, are not immune to the aging process!

That’s where companies like Forever And A Day Production come into place.  We will take all of your old photos and place them on CD or DVD where they will be preserved forever.  Digital photos never crack, fade, turn yellow or fall victim to a spilled drink!  They will be around for future generations  to enjoy.  

If you decide to even go one step further and turn your photos into a video slideshow, you will be creating something that everyone will enjoy watching.  I recently created a photo slideshow of our family that ranged over 120 years.  The youngsters in the family took a seat in the front row and never turned away.. even though they had NO CLUE who the people were in the video!  I gave each member of the family a copy of the video for Christmas and several write me often to tell me that they watch it over and over again! 

 So how do you know what a good video company is?
Do not automatically look at the prices.  I’ve learned the hard way (especially in the digital world) that you get what you pay for.  A professional slideshow  company is going to charge you for quality work. On average, we will spend 20-30 hours on a 3 minute video segment.  If a company quotes you an unbelievable price, all they are doing is slapping the photos into a software and letting the movie create. They are not spending hour upon hour “restoring” your photos.. making sure that they look the best that they can look.  They are not spending hour upon hour making sure that the transitions are seamless and that the pictures match up to the beat of the song.. or that the photos match the words of the song!  If a company cannot promise that they will do this for you, ou might as well go out and buy yourself the cheapest slideshow software and do it yourself. 

Of course a higher price doesn’t always mean better, there will always be those who overcharge. When comparing prices, don’t forget to compare the contents of the package. This will make a tremendous difference in the pricing and the quality of the slideshow you receive.  Shop around, compare prices, compare packages, and view some slideshow samples.

When viewing samples, you will soon find that video companies that offer you the simple fade-in, fade-out photo montage styles are a dime a dozen.  What makes Forever And A Day Production stand out from the competition is our unique, fun, emotion-packed slideshows.  You will quickly see the difference in our product and the others!
