Encore.
Your photographs move. Then they sing. A short film made from your photographs: each picture brought into motion, set to a song, with the faces you choose singing along.
Danny Boy, in Mike’s own voice.
Made from Mike’s studio portraits and sung in his own voice. Every frame is computer-generated, and every one was reviewed before it left the studio.
You send the photos. We do the rest.
Up to ten for a short, up to thirty for a full song. Faded or torn? We can restore them first.
We write and produce a song from your story. You choose whose faces sing along.
Mike plans every film and reviews every frame before it is delivered.
Download it, add a vertical cut for phones, or have it boxed as a keepsake.
One more song with the people you love.
Celebrations of life
A family’s photographs, moving and singing, for the service and for everyone who couldn’t be there.
Anniversaries
Fifty years of pictures, set to their song.
Reunions & birthdays
The whole family album, brought back to life for one evening.
