ZOOM PHOTO COMMENTARIES: A NEW APPROACH FOR COVID TIMES
For many years, now, FVT has been helping folks tell their story in video format, using in-depth interviews in our clients' home. That approach went kaput in March 2020, so we IMPROVISED.
It turns out ZOOM is a great medium for an interview when a client has access to a laptop or ipad.
And, we combine two services:
WE SCAN A SELECTION OF OLD FAMILY PHOTOS (high-def tiff format)
WE HOST AND MEET YOU IN A ONE-HOUR LONG RECORDED ZOOM SESSION.
IN THAT SESSION, WE SCREEN-SHARE EACH SCANNED PHOTO.
YOU TELL US ALL YOU KNOW ABOUT EACH PHOTO. WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE? WHEN WAS IT TAKEN? WHY WERE THEY THERE? WHAT DID THEY MEAN TO YOU, THE CLIENT?
WE CREATE A SERIES OF .MP4 VIDEOS FOR STORAGE AND EASY ACCESS ON YOUR DEVICES.
WE GIVE YOU A FLASH DRIVE WITH THE PHOTOS IN HIGH DEFINITON (JPG AND TIFF) FORMAT.
AT YOUR DIRECTION, WE CAN HELP YOU UPLOAD YOUR VIDEO TO YOUTUBE WITH PRIVATE SETTINGS. (Grandchildren always impressed!)
How Much Does it Cost?
Soup to Nuts: $100

1) a one-hour Zoom recording session. (Client must have own device suitable for acceptable video and sound quality.- iphone is a no. ipad is okay. Laptop is ideal.)
