Custom editing of your own footage or home movies

Do you like to videotape your events, birthdays, children etc, but then watch the resulting movies once and never again? If yes, you are like most people who own a Handycam. The editing is very time consuming, and learning how to use the programs, even understand the language in the tutorials is scary to many amateur videographers.

But watching raw footage is no fun either, often not even close friends and relatives want to see home movies, even if they appear in them.

Let us help.

If the footage is cut down to 20-30 percent of the original, and maybe underlaid with some of your favorite music, titles and a few well placed transitions are added you will have a great movie that friends and family will be happy to watch.

Many people do not want someone else to handle their memories - "How will I know that you won't cut out my most treasured scene in the footage just because it is blurry?" is a question I have heard many times before. Easy. We watch the footage together, and I take notes. Or, you let me pre-cut and then we watch the reduced footage and see if I should add something back in.

You create the memories and we bring out the best in them and preserve them for you. That is what we do, and we do it well.

Depending on the quality of the footage it takes me 4-6 times the timelength of the source footage for the editing. The price is $50 per hour.
