Montages
& Mini-Movies
A
Montage is a collection of still and/or moving images, that are
put together in such a way that they tell a story. Many times,
the images are put to music to enhance the emotional experience
of the story they tell. Adding voice-overs and narration can
enhance the experience even more.

We
have produced many types of montages to fit the needs of our
clients. Most often, it’s a birthday, special anniversary
or major milestone in one’s life. No matter the reason,
producing a montage as a gift is one of the most powerful ways
to honor someone in your life.
Photo Montages
We
have had a passion for producing photo montages since 1988. In
fact, we were creating photo montages before they even had a
name. Over the years, our montages have evolved from simple slide
shows to
the
intricate, ever-changing, theme-based, story-telling works of
art that we produce now.
The Photos… Photos and home videos
represent memories, sentiment, history. By carefully selecting
those photos and video clips that illustrate the highlights
and milestones of one’s life, a story unfolds.
The
Music… Unlike most other videographers, we design
our montages around the music. Music forms the backbone of
the montage, both structurally and emotionally. It sets the
rhythm. It sets the mood. It breathes life into your photos.
It is important to choose exactly the right music and we can
help you with that.
The
Design… Throw in subtle movement of your photos,
a sprinkling of whimsical animation here and there, sound bites,
sound effects, and colorful backgrounds that enhance the mood.
Now, add impeccably choreographed pacing and you might have
an idea of what to expect.
Concept Videos
Concept videos are short,
scripted, mini-movies or vignettes. They have a theme or
concept and are usually designed to pay tribute to a person
or organization. They can take the form of spoofs, fantasies,
tributes, documentaries, music videos (or whatever else
your imagination can conjure up) and are designed to entertain
an audience.
Our
concept videos usually incorporate a photo montage, in a way
that the concept itself provides an arena for the photos.
Love Story
A short, entertaining video that tells the story of how you met
and fell in love. Creatively and custom designed for each couple,
love stories can take the form of music videos, romantic documentaries
or even spoofs and many times contain interview segments, family
photos and video clips.
They
run on the average from 10-12 minutes and typically are projected
on a large screen at your party or reception.
Video Announcements
and Invitations
Looking for something totally unique? Why not send out your invitation
or special announcement (engagement, birth, you name it) on DVD,
videotape, or even put it on the web! Your video can take the form
of a movie trailer, a mini-movie, or whatever you can dream up.
Bring us your vision and we will work with you to produce a masterpiece.
