Introduction

My number one goal is to create a quality video/slideshow by listening to your wants, desires, and needs. I take pride in creating quality keepsake videos for your life's events. From anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, funeral/memorial, etc. I've been creating video projects since 2011. Just send me your files...photos (digital or physical), video clips, and audio and I will put together a video/slideshow you will be proud to show for years to come. Maybe you have a video that needs editing. If so, I can take care of that for you as well. If you have the need I can also convert VHS/VHS-C and 8mm video tapes to digital files to upload to flash drive or burn to DVD. Please note that I am not a photographer or videographer, however, with your photos and video clips I can turn them into a quality video for you.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Regarding pricing, I like to keep it simple. A basic, simple video is just $12.00/minute of finished video. So, a 5 minute video would be $60.00 and so on. If the project is more involved such as utilizing extensive transitions, animations, effects, etc. then that would increase the cost. Also included in the price is a copy of the video on either a flash drive or DVD.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I would suggest a free consultation to discuss the project in detail. We would discuss what type of video/slideshow you desire and how I would acquire the photos (digital or physical), video clips and audio files. I would learn from you how fast you need the finished project and ensure I meet that deadline if not get it to you earlier. Once I have completed the project I would send a watermarked copy to you electronically for your approval. Once approved I would provide to you, upon your request, a copy without the watermark on DVD or USB 3.0 flash drive or both (one or the other would be included in the cost of the project.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have over 10 years of creating quality videos/slideshows for families and business. I am regularly learning new techniques by taking courses to update my skills.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I saw a need to help families and business with video creations for many different life events and decided to fill that need.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with individuals, families, churches and businesses.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

A co-worker passed away and I was honored to create the life remembrance video for the family. They submitted the photos to me and I scanned them in and went to work. The family was very pleased with the outcome and quality of the video. I received the materials on a Thursday afternoon and was able to have the finished project ready for the service on Saturday morning a day and a half later.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

To please consider the following: *Turn-around time *Cost to produce the video

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

*How fast do I need this project completed? *What's my budget for this project? *Do I just want a very simple video or one with enhancements to make the video more engaging?
