Client Information.
The information for the client commissioning this service is standard information. Please note that no information given to MH Photography will be passed or sold to any other person or company.
Individuals Details
Name of the person the “Celebration of Life” slideshow is celebrating and significant dates.
Photographs
Please indicate the number of images the slideshow is to consist of. Please see information above as to the cost.
Please consider the order that you would like the images displayed in. This is a guide for you to consider through the various stages of their life. Parents, childhood, teenage years, work, marriage, holidays, significant anniversaries (18, 21, 50, retirement etc.). As you compile them please assign a number to the images i.e. 1-100 in the order that you would like them to appear.
We offer a collection service for the images for basic and standard packages, please tick the box if you would like us to do this.
NB. You will see that a definition has been given for photos that are discoloured, creased or scratched. This is IMPORTANT for photos that contain imperfections; this will lengthen the time it takes to produce the DVD.
The hardest to repair are where scratches or creases are over an important part of an image. For backgrounds i.e. sky the repair is fairly quick. To help you see what the issues are I have placed two images at http://www.mhphotographyhampshire.co.uk/blog/ entitled “Damaged photograph repair”.
As we load your photographs onto the PC we will check them for any problems. Those identified as requiring major work we will advise you of any cost to repair and wait for your authorisation before we proceed with including them in the slideshow.

Music
The choice of music is important; to play music in a public place (defined by the Performing Rights Society (PRS) as outside the home) requires a license. The slideshow will come with a license that complies with the copyright law that is enforced by the PRS.
The request for music tracks is to fill the sound track of the sideshow, please label the music in order of preference (please use the reverse to add more music tracks). Please note that each piece is between 3-4 minutes. If you choose the standard (5pieces), enhanced (7 pieces) or prestige package (14 pieces), please list other tracks if you wish to extend this time. Please note that the slideshow may not use all of the music.
Video
Please indicate whether or not you would like to have video footage of the individual being celebrated, to be incorporated in the slideshow. If you already have the footage in a digital form this will help keep the project on track.
If you have the video in another format i.e. VHS video this will be required to be converted into a digital format and will be an additional cost. This is something that we can arrange or you can find a company to do this for you. You may find that it is necessary to have the whole video converted to digital media. Please note that some company’s state on their advertising, the time it will take to convert the media.
The start time and finish time of the sequence is to identify where on the media the piece is that you want to use and to tell us the total length of playing time.
Please note that any alterations can be added or removed up until the DVD is produced. Any changes must be notified in writing or by email.
Yours Sincerely
Martin Harris
