Hello all
Have you ever wanted to take all those photos, old films and tapes you have in boxes and put them on DVD. VHS tapes depending on how they are stored will start to deteriorate in about 10 to 12 years. After that the sound and video quality will start to go. And the 8mm film you or your parents took is really getting brittle. So much family history. You would really hate to loose it wouldn't you. Now is the time to gather up all of it and get it transferred to DVD.
Now I know it can be overwhelming project but here are a few tips that will help.
- First go through all your photos and pick out the ones you really want to save.
- Next lay them all out on a table or the floor in the order you want them to show on the DVD. This is called story boarding and it's the same process movie makers use to see just how their film will play out.
- When you have them all laid out in order go through them once again and weed out any duplicates and less than perfect pictures. You can also rearrange them if the order is out of sequence. As you do this you will start to see your family history unfold in front of you.
- Once you have them all sorted out you can number them with small stickies on the back. That will help when we scan them for you.
A beautiful DVD of your family history will last a lifetime and are perfect gifts for the whole family.
So don't delay. Get the family together and have a ball. And if you have any problems or concerns be sure and give me a call or email. I'll be glad to assist you on it.
