Celebratory Videos

There is a place on the form to let me know if you would like any of these add-ons.

Communication Done for You: $10.

• Don't want to worry about emailing and reminding friends and family members to send in their videos and photos? Leave it to me! You will need to provide the emails for everyone you would like to be involved in the video so that I can contact them. A few days before the deadline I will let you know of anyone I haven't heard from and we can work to find another way to contact them if necessary.

Choose the Order of Video Messages: $15.

• Want the video messages in a specific order? You will be able to choose the order of the videos by numbering all of the messages that come in. Without this add-on, I will order your videos to give you a product that flows nicely from one message to the next.

DVD Copy of Celebratory Video: price dependent on shipping.

• Want a DVD keepsake of your video? With this add-on you can give the video to your loved one on a DVD.

Water Works Productions takes the privacy of you and your loved ones

very seriously. Below are the ways that I keep your information and

videos safe from start to finish of the video making process.

• I am the only one with access to your video form when you submit it. I use the information you provide to help you get your video montage started and when your video is complete and uploaded your form is deleted.

• When sending in video messages and photos you have 3 different methods.

  • Email Only: each person can email their video to me directly. If you want the video messages to only be viewed by the person the video is for then you can choose this option. The video messages and photos are only seen by me, the person sending them, and the person the video is for unless you choose to share the final video product with family and friends.

  • Shared Folder via Email Invite: only the people who have been given access to the folder via email can access it. This method keeps the project limited to only the people whose emails you give access to the folder. Just like sharing any Google Document, the folder is shared via email with the people involved in the project.

  • Shared Folder Link: the folder is accessible to anyone with the link to it. This is the simplest way to share videos. A folder is shared among everyone involved in your video and everyone can add their video messages and photos to the folder. The folder is easily shared through a link.

• On the deadline of the video I edit the video messages and photos together with music and transitions to bring the project together. I am the only one who sees this process.

• The video is uploaded to YouTube as unlisted. This means that the only people who can see and watch the video are me (since it's on the Water Works Productions channel) and anyone with the link/url to the video. I will share the link with you upon completion of the video and you can choose who you share it with. Some people choose to share the finished video with everyone who was involved or just keep it to the person who it was made for. The video is not searchable on YouTube unless you request it to be.

How much time does it take to get a video?

• 15 days (minimum)

• You should complete this form at least 15 days before the date of the special occasion. However, the earlier you complete the form the more time people will have to send in videos which may give you a better turn out.

• If you complete the form 15 days before the date of the special occasion, people involved will have 7 days to send in video messages.

• Every extra day prior to the date of the special occasion adds onto the 7 days people have to send in videos. (i.e. if you fill out the video form 20 days before the special occasion, there will be 12 days people can send in video messages).

How much does a video cost?

• Due to the varying amounts of time it takes to create each video level, there are 3 different prices.

  • Tidal: most basic video option with a 10 minute maximum time: $65

  • Breakers most popular option with a 15 minute maximum time: $100

  • Tsunami: most complex video option with a 25 minute maximum time: $165

How many people can I include in the video?

• As many as you would like!

• Keep in mind though that the more people you add the shorter their messages can be in order to fit them all in the video time limit.

  • For example, if you choose the Tidal plan (10 minute video) and you invite 10 people each person can submit a minute long video. If you invite 20 people instead then each person can send in a video with a 30 second max time so that we can fit all of the messages into the video.

How should the video messages and photos be sent in?

• When you fill out the video form you will be sent a link to a Google Drive folder that is accessible to everyone involved in the video. Participants can add video messages and photos to the folder any time up to the deadline set for your video. To ensure that all of the videos make it into the final video it is important that you give me a total count for how many videos there should be. This way we can make sure they are all accounted for.

• For any participants who don't use Google Drive, videos can also be emailed to me at h2oworks.productions@gmail.com with the full name of the person the video is for in the subject line.

Can I choose the order of the videos messages in the final video?

• Yes! Custom ordering the videos costs an extra $15.

• If there is a specific order you would like the video messages to appear in the final video you will answer "yes" in the form when asked. Once all the videos have been submitted you will be able to go through and number the videos in the order you would like them to appear. You are not required to do this. If you would rather not the videos will be randomly ordered in the video.

What music is used in the videos?

• I use instrumental music that plays quietly throughout the video under messages and photos.

• Genres include pop, jazz, rhythm and blues, funk, cinematic, and classical.

• To select a genre of music for your video you will be sent a video details form after filling out the initial video form to start the process of making your video.

How do I get the final video?

• Your video will be posted on the Water Works Productions YouTube channel. It will be posted as "unlisted" which means that only people with the link to the video will have access. When the video is uploaded I will send the link to you and you can share it with whomever you would like. If you would like family and friends to have easier access to the video you can choose to make the video public. It is completely up to you.
