An old family photograph of a mother, restored, coloured and brought to life

Why this lands differently

Most gifts are things. This one is their own life, handed back to them.

01
You can make it today
Thirty to ninety minutes from paying to watching. No shipping, nothing to arrive late, nothing to forget to order. Useful the night before a birthday.
02
Their oldest photographs, rescued
The creased wedding photo, the faded one from the beach, the black-and-white portrait of someone nobody has seen in colour. Repaired, coloured, sharpened, and gently set in motion.
03
A real price, not a subscription
$25.00 for 20 photos up to $60.00 for 48. You pay once, for the photos you actually use.

The best gift you could give is already in their cupboard.

Every home has one — the album on the top shelf, gathering dust, opened once a decade when someone visits. All those photographs, and nobody ever watches them. This turns that album into something they will actually sit and watch, with music, on the television, more than once.

Who this makes a wonderful gift for

Anyone whose life is longer than their photo album is organised.

Mum or Dad, for a birthday — especially the ones who say they want nothing.
Grandma or Grandpa, who have the oldest photographs and the fewest ways to see them.
A parent moving house or retiring, when a lifetime is being packed into boxes.
Someone far away, who cannot be visited but can be sent their own story.

What you do

Choose the photos. That is genuinely the whole job.

1
Go through the albums
Photograph the old prints with your phone if they were never digital — that works perfectly. Then drag 20 to 48 of them into the order you want.
2
Choose the song
Pick from the library, or upload the one they danced to. Write a short dedication and it opens the film with their name on it.
3
Watch it with them
The video arrives by email within 30 to 90 minutes, ready to play on a phone, a laptop or the television.

What one looks like

Ordinary family photographs — some damaged, some black and white — as they come back.

Questions

Who is this actually good for?

Anyone whose life is longer than their photo album is organised. Parents and grandparents most of all — birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, or no occasion at all.

The photos are prints in a shoebox, not files.

Photograph them with your phone, straight out of the album. That is how most people do it. Poor lighting and a bit of glare are fine — the restoration handles far worse.

Do I need to be good with computers?

No. If you can send a photo in a message, you can do this. Upload, choose music, write a line. Everything else — restoring, colouring, animating, editing, transitions, sound — happens without you.

What does it cost?

Per photo: $25.00 for 20 photos, up to $60.00 for 48. Every film gets the same quality and the same features — more photos simply means a longer one. Pay once, no subscription.
