Hi Glen,

I did one for my own family back in Feb. for my parents 30th wedding anniversary. It was a tremendous amount of work. I interviewed my aunts, uncles, grandparents, wife and myself. I used probably 300 photographs, and about 30 minutes of old super 8 film. Some of the footage I had was of my folks when they were 1 and 2 years old. I took the old film of their wedding along with their photo album and made a special wedding video for them. It turned out to be really special becaus eabout 2 months after it was finished my grandmother died and during her interview she spoke about how fulfilling it was to have a daughter...you can't put a price on that kind of stuff. Hope this answered some of your questions. Is this a personal video or a professional thing?
