Home / Family & travel
One year, one trip, or eighteen of them.
Family material accumulates without a shape: three hundred clips of a child, four holidays, a phone full of photographs nobody has looked at twice. A film gives it a shape — by year, by place, or by the people who keep appearing in it.
In practice
Chapters, not highlights
The instinct is a highlights reel. The better film is usually chaptered: the house, the first year, the trip that went wrong. We map the chapters with you first, then cut to them, so the runtime is decided by the material rather than by a target.
- Chapters by year, by place, or by person.
- Mixed sources — phone video, scans, older camcorder footage.
- Runtime agreed against how much material actually exists.
- Vertical and square delivery for material shot on a phone.

FAQ
Before you send anything
How much material is too much?
There is no hard limit, but sorting time is part of the quote. Above roughly two hours of footage we will ask for a first pass from you, or quote for the logging.
Can you use camcorder tapes?
If you can supply a digitised file, yes. We do not transfer tape formats ourselves.
Will it hold up on a TV?
1080p source on a 4K television looks fine. Very old or very soft footage is placed deliberately rather than enlarged.
Pick the year, or the trip.
Tell us the period and roughly how much material there is. We will propose chapters and a runtime band.
