DON'T LOSE TRACK OF YOUR
FAMILY'S PRECIOUS HERITAGE:
AV Workshop Productions will take your prints
and make a exciting video for you !

Most of us are toting around priceless family heirlooms without even realizing their full value or their significance. They're not typical treasures --- pieces of fine china, jewelry, old pocket watches or hand stitched doilies. They can't be found proudly displayed on your dining room sideboard, nor are they tucked away safely in your safe deposit box.
    Instead, they're gathering dust in the deep recesses of  your attic. They are providing shelter -- and perhaps a meal or two -- for the mice in your basement
    In the modern age of VCR's it's no longer practical, safe or convenient to simply slap your photos into an album that will yellow or wrinkle with age, or to toss your pictures into unmarked boxes that hibernate in the basement until Christmas when your parents come to visit.
    The best way to get your memories on videotape is simply to take your pictures (prints) to AV Workshop Productions. The cost is relatively inexpensive, and by taking your pictures to the experts at AV Workshop Productions, your transfer can be made into your own family production, with the addition of background music and titles.

We transfer a lot of pictures (prints) to video each year. More and more people are realizing that our service provides the perfect opportunity to help preserve their family's history.

IT'S SIMPLE TO GET STARTED ON YOUR VIDEO
Follow the instructions below:

1. Mark your pictures (prints) numerically in the order in which you would like them on the video.
(Make sure you do not damage the picture; posted notes work the best, however, a felt tip pen can be used on THE BACK OF THE PICTURE if you allow time for it to dry before placing it on top of another picture).

2. Try to estimate the time you would like each picture to stay on the screen before the next picture comes up. AV Workshop Productions suggests from 3 - 5 seconds per picture. You can estimate the time of your video by multiplying pictures by the seconds you picked. For example, 100 pictures at 5 seconds divided by 60 will equal the time of video (about 8 1/2 minutes).

3. We have special effects that we can add to your video photo album as well.
        a. Cuts - One picture replaces another picture with no effects in between.

EXAMPLE OF CUTS $.70 each

        b. Fades - One picture fades out while the next picture fades in. (very nice - most customers pick fades)

EXAMPLES OF FADES $.80 each - Please note fades have been slowed down for this demo.

        c. Special - This is a exciting effect, in which there are many to choose from... One picture replaces another picture by using special effects in between.

EXAMPLE OF SPECIAL $.90 each -  Many, many more to pick from.

4. AV Workshop Productions offers CG's. CG stands for character   generator. This method would be used If you would like to put text on top of a picture. A name of a person or a title could be used.

EXAMPLE OF CG'S

5. AV Workshop Productions offers Boards as well. One opening board and one closing board free of charge.

  EXAMPLE OF BOARDS

6. Choose the music that you would like on your video. CD's are encouraged, but we also accept audio cassettes. AV Workshop Productions will add music to your video at no charge. Please note: if music has to start or stop on a certain  picture there will be a charge.
        a. After knowing the time of your video, pick out some music that will last as long as your video.
        b. We will need a list of the album name and the track number, and what order in which the songs will play.
            Example: Alabama - Just Us - Track # 2 Old Man - First song
