Photos and Media
Below is a list of the types of photos and media that may be used to produce a Memorial Tribute DVD. The photos and media can be left with the Funeral Director who is organising the service and we will collect them from there.
Please select and note a First or Main photo that will be displayed on the screen for the service until the DVD is played.
Please number the photos or place them in the order you would like them to appear in the DVD.
Black and White Photos - any size up to A4 - poor quality is not a problem as we will perform some photo restoration to any damaged or faded photos.
Colour Photos - any size up to A4 - poor quality is not a problem as we will perform some photo restoration to any damaged or faded photos.
Framed Photos - Black and White or Colour - Please take them out of their frame.
Slides and Negatives - please put any slides into a secure container and leave the negatives in their protective sleeve.
Client Scanned Photos - These must be supplied on either a CD, USB Memory Stick or Memory Card. Please scan the photos in at a resolution of 300dpi or above and in colour (including black and white photos). A poor quality scanned photo will lead to a very poor quality picture on the large LCD TV or Projector screen.
Please do not crop or adjust the photo in any way as we will do this to suit the DVD format. We will perform some photo restoration to any damaged or faded photos.
Digital camera photos - Please copy these onto a CD, USB Memory Stick or Memory Card. Please do not crop or adjust the photo in any way as we will do this to suit the DVD format.
Newspaper and magazine articles - Black and White or Colour - Please supply the original or a good copy.
Video
Digital Video Camera Footage – Please copy the required footage to a CD, USB Memory stick or memory card.
If that is not possible, please supply the camera, cables and software so that we may capture the footage.
VHS and Camcorder tapes – Please supply the required tapes with a detailed note of what the footage required is and an approximate time mark on the tape of where the footage is so that we may capture it.
There are extra costs involved with these processes.
Music
Music for the Memorial Tribute DVD - Please supply the original or a copy of the music disc for use in the DVD and note the desired track.
Digital music may be supplied in CD, WAV, Mp3 and iTunes formats.
Please choose a piece of music that is 4 minutes or more in length.
If the piece of music that you would like for the DVD is less than 3 and half minutes long, please select a second song so there is enough music time for all of your photos to be displayed.
Information
Please supply details if there is anyone or thing that you would like taken out of a photo. We will endeavour to do our best to meet these requests.
Please supply details of Names, Nicknames, relevant dates and any captions and titles that are to be used in the DVD.
Multimedia Memories will endeavour to take the greatest of care when handling your photos and will return them all to the Funeral Directors office.
