Big Moment Films includes two copies of your DVD in keepsake metal packaging. To ensure your disc will look good forever, we laser etch the face of each disc with one of your photos.

Big Moment Films offers professional quality video and premium service -- and it comes with a no-risk, money-back guarantee.

All of our video montage packages include:

• Our 100% money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the video we create for you, we will give you a full refund.
• Motion effects and transitions to turn your photos into a dynamic, fun-to-watch video. (View the sample videos to see examples of these effects in a montage.)
• Custom titles, captions and credits. We can even help you write them.
• Custom-built DVD menus that use your photos, video clips and music
• All of your retouched images in full resolution, stored on your DVD as jpgs
• Two copies of your video on laser-etched DVDs, presented in keepsake gift packaging (see photo, right)

The "Just the Facts" Package, $129 Want to create a quick video introduction of your guest of honor? Our entry-level package includes 25 photographs and one song. We'll help you select music and images that will build excitement for a grand entrance. Whether you're introducing a newly married couple, the birthday boy (or girl), or even a winning sports team, we'll create something that will get the crowd fired up. If you want to use prints or negatives instead of digital photos, we professionally scan your images so they look their best in your completed video.

We scan and restore old family photos -- even faded snapshots -- so they'll look great in your photo montage. Including old photos in a montage is a great way to preserve your family heritage.

Each video is custom, so we custom-quote each job

There is very little about our work that is not fully customized. Every client, and every project, is unique -- each with different priorities, different challenges and different opportunities. Try as we might, it's impossible to apply a "price list" approach to the kind of creative work we do. As such, besides our "Just the Facts" introductory package, we custom-quote every project.

If you're intrigued by our approach and the sample videos on the site piqued your interest, call or e-mail us so we can set up a time to discuss your project one-on-one. We'll take the time to understand you and your goals for the video, and we'll quote you a project fee that reflects the unique needs of your project.

When we quote you a price, we will explain clearly what it includes and various options we offer to make the project easier for you and to save you money.

But our project is really unique... we want to include video!

Including existing video in your video montage is one of our specialties. We enjoy the challenge of seamlessly integrating different media into your project. We know you'll enjoy the finsihed product.

We get questions all the time about including video clips, audio recordings or graphics. Whether you want a key moment from your wedding video, or scenes from Super-8 movies your grandparents filmed, we're happy to discuss your ideas and the materials you'd like to include. We can quote the costs associated with converting, editing and incorporating your existing footage.

Don't forget to include pictures of your pet in a montage of family photos. Here's some great tips on getting the best pictures of all kinds of pets.

Additional Services INCLUDING HOME MOVIES/VIDEO IN YOUR MONTAGE – We would love to include your home movies in the montage and can easily transfer home movies and home video to DVD in the process. Mini DV tapes require no conversion, and can be loaded into our editing system directly. We can convert VHS, S-VHS, VHS-C, Betamax, Video-8, Hi-8 and Digital-8, as well as 8mm, Super 8mm, and 16mm film. Contact us for details and pricing on film/video conversion and using clips in your project. PHOTO SCANNING – Let us scan your snapshots (color or black-and-white) to ensure they look their best in your film. We scan, color-correct and retouch photos (up to 8 1/2 x 11 inches in size) for only $1.25 each. Contact us for information about scanning oversized items and slides or negatives, and for volume discounts. Whether we scan and retouch your photos or you send us digital images, all of your images are consolidated and included in the data section of the DVD with your finished project.

DUPLICATE DVDs – We do not copy-protect the DVDs we create for our clients, making it easy for you to make extra copies on your home computer or DVD recorder. But if you would like more than the two laser-labeled and professionally packaged DVDs that come with every order, we will create additional copies of your DVD for $15 each. If you need more than 10, contact us for volume pricing.

SHOWING YOUR FILM AT A SPECIAL EVENT – Once we produce your film, we want to make sure you're able to show it at your special event. In many parts of the U.S., we can refer you to companies that rent digital projectors or large monitors for special events. If we don't have a vendor to refer, we'll be happy to help you find one.

GIFT CERTIFICATES – Big Moment Films Gift Certificates make a great gift. You can send loved ones a gift certificate for either a specific package, or in any denomination starting at $50. Our gift certificates are presented in the same premium packaging as our finished DVDs, and we are happy to ship them directly to the recipient with a gift message. It's a great way to encourage parents to commission a video slideshow of their kids, or to give as a group wedding present to allow the new couple to create a personalized montage of their wedding photos!
