Frequently Asked QuestionsSlideshowHow do I order a Slideshow?Information to place an order can be found here. Can I put photographs in my Slideshow?Although it's called a Slideshow, it's so much more than that. We can combine photographs, slides and negatives into one Slideshow. After all, they're all pictures once we've scanned them. So they work nicely together. Do I need Captions?The people who have added captions to their Slideshows tell us they are so glad they did. Not only do Captions make the Slideshow more interesting, they also preserve information that would otherwise be lost. Will you remember all your bridesmaid's names 10 years from now? With captions you will. Will anyone else watching the Slideshow know where the photos (slides, negatives) were taken? Our Personal Experience As extended family members contributed more and more photos to the project, the work took longer than normal. As a result we saw their Slideshow quite a lot as the project progressed. What surprised us was how much we enjoyed watching individual members of their family grow up. We saw one little boy's first baby pictures, playing at the beach with friends, birthday parties and when he became member of an Australian Olympic team and finally married. Because all of these things were captioned in the Slideshow, we could follow his progress along with all the other family members. Like watching a good documentary, we were drawn into this family's history. Captions turn the ordinary into extraordinary. Will the Captions be on pictures I have prints made from?No. They will be on your Slideshow pictures on the DVD, but will NOT be on the CD we give you that you can have prints made from. Slideshow pictures (photos, slides, negatives) are at a low resolution to match the TV and computer monitors. The images on the CD are at a high resolution (more dots to the inch) so you can have quality prints made from them. Can I add a special poem?Yes. We can even add your wedding vows or poem or other special message. Just print out a copy for us and tell us where you'd like it to be in the Slideshow. We'll type set it in something appropriate to the message. Can you put music in my Slideshow?Yes. Send us a CD or cassette tape with your order with the music you want us to use. If you'd rather we select something for you, tell us what type of music you would like and we will select something appropriate from our music library. You can have one song repeated over and over or several songs used throughout the Slideshow or in certain sections. The choice is yours. What are Chapters?Chapters are individual sections of your movie such as "Linda's 16th Birthday", "London Holiday 1987", etc. The Chapters are listed in a Menu when the DVD begins. Having Hollywood-style animated Menu Chapters on the DVDs we produce for you, means you can see exactly what's on the DVD from the "live" scenes in the Menu. Click on one and you're watching just what you want to see. Or click on the main scene and watch the whole Slideshow. More information and screen captures. Do I need to give you a blank disc?No. We provide all DVDs and DVD cases. Do I get my originals back?All slides, negatives and photographs are returned to you in their original condition. They are not harmed in the transfer processes we use. How long does it all take?Please allow 10 10 15 working days from the time we receive it, to send it back to you. Intricate projects like Biographies and Family Histories can take approximately one to two months to complete once we have accepted the job and made room for it on our production schedule. There can be a lengthy waiting list for this service so contact us soon if you think you'd like to proceed. The time varies depending on our backlog, and of course the size and complexity of your order. We will do our best to return your completed order as quickly as possible. Please note, we are NOT responsible for postal delays. We overheard an Aussie telling a tourist the other day that a kangaroo delivers his mail in its pouch. We definitely are not responsible if you mail to us this way. Do you do rush jobs?If you need a rush put on your order, contact us for availability and costs. |
