Bring to life the story of your ancestor tree by using contemporary video documentary techniques. You can even include interviews and voiceovers to bring images & stories alive as we fade between "pans" of historical documents and real life accounts of events. Essentially, People Power Productions has made it affordable to commission your own documentary!

In his famous "Civil War" documentary, Ken Burns innovated many of the modern editing techniques used to bring old pictures & films to life. The latest technology means we can provide these types of effects for you, to create a moving and memorable video/DVD from your stills, slides, negatives, documents, film and video clips.

Actually see relationships!
You can create large photo-tree to use as the ultimate visual story line - with the ability to zoom, pan, and stop along the way to tell the stories behind the pictures. Unlike computer software or photo-trees done on paper, there are no size constraints on video. This makes it the ultimate medium to finally assemble a virtual "photo-tree". You can literally see and understand relationships.

Family Tree Importance
There comes a time in everyone's life where interest in the history of the family and genealogy become more important. Let your loved ones sit back as we travel their family tree with the photos and historical perspectives you've provided. Now is the time to document your precious history onto DVD and video cassette, in a way that technology has only recently placed within financial reach of mainstream America.
