2 clips from still pictures

Length: 6 seconds each. Format: MP4, 16:9, with ambient sound. The first frame of each clip is the original picture.

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

Send old photos of your parents, grandparents or great-grandparents and we add gentle motion to each one: a soft smile, a slight turn of the head, a blink, light shifting across the room. The clip begins with your scan, so the first frame is the photo exactly as it is, scratches and fading included. Expect a moving memory rather than an exact likeness: as faces move, they may look slightly different from the original.

What is included

  • What you getOne 6-second MP4 per photo with soft music, starting from your scan, plus a note on what moves. Each clip is a separate file to share with family or show at an anniversary or family gathering.

    Your scansYou send the photos and tell us who is in them
  2. 2
    Careful motionWe keep movements small to stay close to the original
  3. 3
    ClipsYou get one MP4 per photo and can ask for changes

What we need from you

Scans or clear phone photos of the prints (as many as your package), who is in each picture, what should move and the mood. Send photos of your own family or ones you have the right to use.

We will ask you:

  • Who is in each photo?
  • What should move?
  • What mood do you want?
  • Where will the clips be shown?

Questions and answers

Will the people look exactly as they did?

Not always. The clip starts from your photo, but as faces move they may change slightly. We keep the motion small; a sharp portrait with one or two faces stays closest to the original.

Can you restore or colourise the photo first?

No, we don't restore damaged photos or add colour. The clip starts from your picture as it is, so a clean, sharp scan gives the best result.

Can grandpa say a few words?

No, nobody speaks in these clips. We add music and soft sounds, not a voice or moving lips.

My print is small or blurry. Will it work?

Scan it, or photograph it flat in daylight without glare. Very small or blurry faces are hard to animate and may change more as they move.
