Following our initial phone contract, we set up a planning meeting, during which I listen to your ideas about your project. I describe different possibilities and packages and together we decide the scope and outline of your project.

I suggest you begin collecting favorite photography you would like to include and think about favorite music you might want to use in sections of the project. I then send you a contact and a biographical outline for you to fill out as a family information guide of those people that might be discussed or mentioned during filming.

When filming is completed, I down load all the film material onto my computer and begin the editing process. This involves cutting and re-arranging or deleting of selected audio clips; adding transitions, photos and music and creating a beginning and ending for your movie.

When the first draft is ready, you will have the opportunity to preview it and make any change suggestions. Following the final edit, your final draft will be rendered and burned to archival quality DVD discs and a customized and personalized DVD Case cover and label will be designed for you.

Final payment will be due when your finished DVD is delivered to you.

• Gather your favorite photos
• Think about music you like or want to use
• Talk with others about some of your memories
• Ask family members what kind of memories they would like to have on a DVD
