| Video Slideshow Production |
Slideshow production companies are popping up all over the internet. People take their pictures, negatives, slides, and videos and place them on CDs, DVDs, or VHS for personal use and gifts for all occasions. People everywhere are hiring professional slideshow production companies to make wedding slideshows for receptions, graduation slideshows, anniversary slideshows, birthday slideshows, memorial service slideshows, vacation slideshows, holiday slideshows, and just about anything you can think of slideshows. But how do you know which slideshow company to choose?
It used to be that when we took our photos of our special occasions: weddings, vacations, reunions, birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, family, friends, pets, and so on, that wed get the photos developed and place them in a photo album or a shoebox. A couple of our very favorites would be placed in frames. But, the photo album or shoebox would then sit on a shelf or under a bed or in a closet or somewhere where they'd be neglected and hardly ever looked at.
In the meantime, the photos themselves are drying out, cracking, and turning yellow. When we do go to look at them, they're never as good as we remember because they've aged.
Placing our photos on CD, DVD, or VHS preserves the photos forever. They will never crack, fade, yellow, or get damaged. Future generations can enjoy the same quality in a hundred years as today.
Turning your photos into slide shows, video albums, or photomontages makes the photos fun to watch. And more people will enjoy viewing them with you. So how do you know if you've found a quality slideshow company? An essential rule of thumb to remember is, "If the price seems too good to be true, then it usually is." No real slide show creating company can give you quality work without putting quality time into it. The less the price, the less the amount of time goes into it. You might as well buy yourself the cheapest slide show software you can find and do it yourself. A quality slideshow-creating company has invested thousands of dollars in producing the highest quality work for the consumer. And they will spend the time needed to clean up your photos and create a quality CD, DVD, or VHS that you can be proud of. The more time a company puts into creating your slideshow, the higher the cost of that slide show. 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. But don't fall for bogus charges such as transition charges. What are slideshows without transitions? So shop around, compare prices, packages, and view some slide show samples.
Viewing samples is very important to choose your company. If you're satisfied with just the simple fade-in, fade-out photomontage style slideshows, then you have a lot to choose from. If you want something fun, exciting, emotional, creative, and unique, then there's very little to choose from. Your memories are precious, and your slide shows should reflect each occasion uniquely and creatively. To an actual slide show creator, such as Sandra Clukey with Sands of Time Multimedia Creations, creating quality slideshows is comparative to an artist who is making yet another masterpiece: each one is unique, creative, evokes emotion, no two are exactly alike, and all are worthy of displaying to everyone you know.
