Summertime - and the DVDs are Easy

You've probably noticed that your video camera becomes your constant companion in the summertime. Ball games, barbecues and beaches. Fireworks, friends and family vacations. All those moments from summers past have produced mountains of memories. Life's precious memories that are "somewhere" in a truckload of tape. How do you manage it all? Let us sort out the summers past and plan the summer ahead with a delightful presentation called a FamilyTIME £ Video. What's a FamilyTIME Video? We're glad you asked! A FamilyTIME video is a three to five minute fast-moving DVD edited together from your existing video, sorted by subject and bundled together with your favorite song. For example, "Baby's First Year" might be a four minute presentation with an appropriate song playing under it. What an emotional piece - and your family will love it! Our experience reveals that people enjoy videos that, like a good meal, are prepared, seasoned and presented on a silver platter. Let us help you take your very best shots, group them by subject, add titles and a few special effects, put appropriate music underneath it all and create a concise, powerful video masterpiece. Best of all, you get a FamilyTIME DVD to show now - and we can keep your videos on file to be updated. Have beaches always been a part of your summer? Distill your best footage into a five minute DVD, incorporate titles (Everything is Just Beachy?) and complete it with beach music. Does summer include traveling and visiting friends? Narrow down the most poignant moments of each past reunion; add some special effects (Slow Motion might be good) and make a moving tribute using a heartwarming song as the soundtrack. What a great gift to bring with you as you revisit them this summer. Kids in Little League? How impressive is a fast-moving documentary of every hit set to a baseball tune? Start with their very first year and show them growing in stature and skill - all the way to today. And when the summer's over add this current season! Don't forget, we can make one tape transfer or one copy as well. No job is too big or too small. Call us today to learn how you can document the days of summer past and future into a bite-sized FamilyTIME video masterpiece.

Organize your Photos

On your computer there lives a My Pictures folder that can house your photos, cryptically labeled by date or other arcane method. A good start for organizing perhaps but there are a whole range of software programs that exist to make photo labeling, editing and sharing a lot easier, and maybe even fun.
Picasa from Google, and Mac's iPhoto, are two options. Both do the heavy lifting of scanning your computer for all your photos and organizing them into categories. Both offer easy-to-use editing tools. Both help you share, print and create display items (photo books, collages, etc.).
Do some research, read up on software options, download the one you like and start uploading your photos.
Your new mantra…”no more mindless uploading of photos”. From now on, you’ll give a name to each photo you import and create a folder named appropriately where your photos will live.
For photos already sitting on your hard drive, start renaming! Spend time labeling your pictures with the date and a description (YYYYMMDD-subject). This is a good time to do a little editing. Eliminate any really crummy pix or photos with redundant subjects. As you add photos, be consistent in naming them.
Name the folders first with the year, then month, When you name folders numerically, they’ll always stay in date order in your directory tree.
Most programs allow you to group your photos in a variety of collections, so you don’t have to choose faces or places or folders, you can — and should — group them all three ways. All the better for later searches: “Now where is that photo of Claire at the top of El Capitan from our 2007 Yosemite trip?” Search for “Claire” (faces) “Yosemite” (places) and/or “2007” (dated folder).
Now that you’ve got a handle on all the great photos in your possession share them with the world!
Contact Home Video Studio Portland and we can create a Keepsake Video with music titles and even video or old 8mm film to share them with friends and family.
Flag your favorites –those worthy of enlarging, framing or otherwise showcasing. But before you wholesale order all your favorites as prints, decide what you’ll do with them once they arrive in tangible form.
If you’ve got frames and wall space in mind, print accordingly. Photo books are great but caution this could lead to a serious scrap booking addiction I am told.

Now call Home Video Studio for back up and Archival services.

Families May Be Losing Their Home Movies and Tapes

Portland, OR.  Holidays fill us with memories of the past, but how long has it been since you’ve taken that proverbial “stroll down memory lane” by watching your old home movies and tapes?  Well, if you hurry, you can give a holiday gift to yourself and to your entire family that will last more than a lifetime – much more!  Home Video Studio – Portland, OR., an affiliate of the largest national network of home video studios, can help you preserve your precious home movies and videotapes that are probably gathering dust in your attic or garage.  More important, your old 8 mm movie films and VHS videos are deteriorating every day!  Even if you still have the old equipment to watch them, they may already be unplayable.
Philip Beech Video Producer and Co-owner of Home Video Studio - Portland, OR., advises everyone to “search through your home immediately!  Find all of those old 8 mm home movie films and old VHS tapes and get them transferred to DVD as soon as possible.”  
Mr. Beech knows what’s he’s talking about.  He has been rescuing movies and tapes for Portland, OR.  residents in their home-based video studio for years.   “Some of the films and tapes we see are already in very poor condition.  And it would be a shame to lose those family histories when it’s so easy to move them all onto DVD.”
Mr. Beech’s system not only transfers the movies and videos to DVD, but also it allows you to add titles and even music thereby creating a memorable experience for generations to come.  “The DVDs,” Mr. Beech adds, “really are the gifts that keep on giving, generation after generation.  Imagine your grandchildren or their grandchildren being able to watch and hear their grandparents or great-great grandparents long after they are gone!  Or, just think about being able to relive your own childhood simply by popping in a disk that will preserve those memories into the next century!”
Whether for the holidays or any special occasion, Home Video Studio’s service solves the frequent problem of what gift to give to the “hard to buy for” relative.  He explains, “We can transfer any kind of film or video to DVD, but we can also do other creative keepsakes, for example, putting slides and photos on DVD, editing your vacation videos, making sports highlight programs for your son or daughter, and even repairing broken video tapes.”  Mr. Beech also mentions that they can also transfer audiotapes and cassettes to CD.
Mr. Beech hopes that folks will contact him soon, especially if they want to create a Christmas gift for this season.  “It takes some time to transfer the movies and tapes to DVD,” he adds.  “We don’t want anyone to be dissappointed.  But whether it’s for the Holidays or after the Holodays, you really do need to preserve and, in some cases, improve those precious memories!”
            For more information on transferring and preserving your home movie film, contact Philip Beech at his Home Video Studio – 503 716 8578
