About
We all enjoy reflecting back on the life of someone special,celebrating cherished memories with family and friends. Looking Glass Studios provides a service to relive those moments.
Since 2010 we have prepared over 2,000 tribute presentations for funeral services held across Melbourne working in the main with Bethel Funerals, a not-for-profit Funeral Service. A number of interstate assignments have also been completed using the facility of either Drop Box or We Transfer.
Numerous requests are now been received from clients wishing to initiate the production of a photo presentation well prior to their departure. Selection of the photos and music is seen as a priority, thus avoiding the burden on family to rush around seeking photos and appropriate music when the inevitable occurs.
Obviously we input no dates (dates are reflected on the eventual Order of Service) which means the production is ready for future use irrespective of any lapse of months/years.
What We Do - The Process
We are pleased to outline the various steps in the process of creating a memorable slideshow.
Looking Glass Studios is here to help you every step of the way.
The Process
1. Please call to advise of the relevant details regarding the photo presentation to be prepared.
2.The length of the presentation will depend on the number of photos to be included into the production. Thirty five photos generally suits a 4 minute sound track.
3.If the photos are hard copy, sort them into chronological (date) order and gently mark the number on the reverse. We will scan and restore the photos! Digital photos can be loaded to a USB with the file names amended to reflect the order for presentation i.e. 22,23 etc.
4. Select a sound track (instrumental or vocal) that will suit the number of photos to be included in the presentation - again, 35 photos suits a 4 minute sound track. We will purchase the track from Itunes to ensure quality audio. Copyright permission is obtained for the soundtrack/s.
5. We will arrange collection or delivery of the photos and discuss:
- appropriate wording for the "hold" screen
- selected sound track/s
- identify the relevant person in any group shot thus enabling a gentle zoom close up to be undertaken
6. Our Studio will scan and fully restore all photos prior to production of the slideshow. We also provide a soft copy of all restored images perchance the family would like to arrange printing of any of the restored images. There is no extra fee for restoration of photographs!
n.b. Should you reside outside the Melbourne metro area you may choose to either personally arrange delivery of photos to our Brighton office or scanning of the photos and onforwarding via either DropBox, We Transfer or via email. Other aspects relating to the production can be discussed by telephoning 0412825469. Our studio regularly undertakes creations for both interstate and overseas clients.
