Guides
Practical guides for gathering photos from family and friends and making one film from them. We make Kindred Scenes, so each guide shows how we would do it, along with advice that helps whatever you use.
- How to make a funeral or memorial slideshow with photos from the whole family: a plan for when the service is days or weeks away, from asking the family to playing it at the venue.
- How to make a milestone birthday or anniversary video from the family's photos: keeping it a surprise, photos from every decade, old prints and messages from the family.
- How to make one film from everyone's trip photos and videos: camera clocks, the best of each moment, the good seconds of each video, and a length people watch.
- How to collect everyone's photos after a group trip: one link before the trip ends, one ask with a deadline, and reminding the people who forget.
- How to turn a shared Google Photos album into a movie: bringing a full album straight in, or skipping the album and sending a link.
- How to make a movie from a shared iPhone album: saving the album, uploading from an iPhone, and checking how sharp its copies are.
- How to make a video from hundreds of photos without it feeling like a slideshow: one photo per moment, short clips, chapters, cutting on the beat, pace and length.
