Draft Copy Service

What is this service for?
We offer the "draft copy" service to help you organise your reels into the right order and choose appropriate names for the chapter headings.

First, we transfer all your reels to DVD, making each reel it's own chapter - so if you have 12 reels, the DVD will have 12 chapters. In between each reel, we place a distinct screen which clearly says "REEL CHANGE" so you know that's the end of that reel, and the start of the next one.
After watching the DVD with your family, you contact us with details of the exact order you want us to follow, deleting any reels you don't want included. At this stage you can also give each chapter a unique title for the DVD menu, and even add things like on-screen titles, dedications and messages for just £2.50

Here is an example:

Mrs Smith has given us 8 reels of cine film but doesn't know what's on them. We sent her a Draft DVD to watch,
to which she emails us the following

We now have everything we need to create the final DVD in the right order, with appropriate titles for each chapter.

This service costs an additional £25 per hour of film.
