Our Photo Videos Are The Best
Why?
1 - All of the photos have motion applied to them - this directs viewer focus to the subject and makes the presentation more entertaining to watch - it looks more professional - others are just a slideshow
2 - We usually key over motion backgrounds - others just have blank black background
3 - Each and every photo gets human attention to detail - something a computer fails miserably at
4 - Our DVD's are delivered with custom created art on the case and disc
5 - You get the high resolution digital files on a separate CD for archival

Are we the lowest priced?
No - because all of these extra things we do take extra time... and skill. We are not the lowest priced but our service may be the best value. The things listed above are not part of most lower priced photo-to-video services. Others may be using a totally automated process which speeds things up greatly, but produce a plain and simple slideshow. If movement is automated, how will the computer know who the important person is in the photo? It won't. We use computers, but we tell them what to do, rather than turning on an automated process and walking away. If you want an professional video with artistic touches, you need to contact MPG!

MPG is in in the Kansas City area, but photo videos are one of the items offered to customers nationwide... just get us your photos, either through the upload service or by mail and we'll do the rest of the work involved in creating your special photo video!

If you are interested in preserving old photographs, check out our photo restoration services. We can repair damaged photos and send you new prints. We can also send you digital files suitable for processing. Why? Digital files will never fade - you can have new prints made 20, 40 or 100 years from now

Upload Service
I have an upload service available for those who might prefer not sending photos in the mail. This means some extra work for you, because you'll need to scan and organize your photos digitally before uploading. There are some specific instructions required to do this so email or call me to find out more. Or if you have a CD burner, you can scan your photos, burn them to a CD and mail the disc.

Preserving Your Aged Photos - CD Master Files
An added bonus is that when you send your actual photos to me you will get back a CD with all the master digital still photo files used in the video. To create your video, the first thing I do is shoot all your photos in a studio environment with a professional digital camera. This means that every one of your paper prints will be turned into a high mega-pixel digital file. This also includes some color correction and minor restoration on photos that might need that. Having those files on CD means that you will then be able to make NEW full resolution prints of any one of your old pictures anytime you wish. This is a way of preserving those photos in a high quality form for the future. This part of the service is a BIG thing - I should be charging a per picture charge just to do this part - but for the time being, I am including at no extra charge! (This is not included if you upload or send digital files on CD - it is only when you send actual photographs)

Pricing
Standard photo video - Cost is $2.00 per photo . A beginning and ending title is included. Extra titles are charged as if they were another photo.

Extras - Sometimes people want to add some home video clips in with the photos - video clips are $10 each if they are no more than one minute in length (approximately) and should be easily identifiable for me. They MUST be less than one minute and should all be on the same tape. This adds some extra punch to the photo video, but also a little more communication is needed to get the details right. You need to contact me for detailed instructions if you want to add video clips.

Morph segments can be incorporated into the video. Cost is $7.00 per photo. For best results, photos used in a morph should all be portrait style head and shoulders shots

There are no set up charges or any other additional fees. The only other expense would be shipping costs, if we have to return a package of materials to you. If you send in digital files that do not need to returned, and you want your Photo Montage Video on a DVD, then there are no shipping or handling charges! VHS orders incur a $5.00 shipping charge. payment must be made in full prior to shipping of your final DVD.

I accept personal checks - card payments may be made through PayPal.
