DVD of photos and music for my dad

Jan 2007

Hi. I would like to make a DVD with photographs of my dad set to a few favorite songs that remind our family of him. Does anyone know of a service that does this? Or does anyone know of software that I could purchase that would allow me to do this myself? Thank you in advance. Maryanne

Berkeley Media Center on Addison and Milvia were great. I did the exact same thing you are talking about two years ago and gave this as Xmas gifts. They make as many copies as you need and they provide you with a master. Jill

Video/movie for my parents' anniversary

October 2002

I'm making a surprise movie for my parents' 40th wedding anniversary, but I need a recommendation. I am looking for a video production company that can edit together for me video footage that I am shooting (of various friends wishing them well, telling stories about them, etc.), add photos and titles, possibly some voiceover and/or music and movie clips. There are lots of places listed in the phone book, but does anyone have experience with a person or company that they are willing to share, either positive or negative? The cost of this production will depend upon the number of hours needed for editing, so efficiency and integrity count for a lot. If there is a Parents Network subscriber who does this sort of thing, I would love to hear from you! Thank you! miriam

we've had terrific experience with the East Bay Media Center on Addison Street in Berkeley. They re-edited and dubbed new music for a shlocky video that was done of our wedding some years ago and -- just a few months ago -- put together a really nice video for my in-laws' 50th anniversary from old photos and home movie footage. maykutch

Re: Photographer, Videographer For Wedding
I recommend a business associate and friend of mine, Stuart Sweetow, owner of Audio Visual Consultants. He videotapes wedding and other occasions and has been in business in Oakland for over 20 years. He is a true professional and a real gentleman to work with. Here is his contact information: AVC, 3738 Grand Avenue, Oakland, CA (510) 839-2020, www.avconsultants.com. Pam
