A narrative arc, not a stack of photos
Same as your printed book: an opening, a middle, a close. Photos paced to the music, breath in the right places, the loudest moment landing where it should. We sequence for emotion, not chronology.
An Add-On to Your Printed Book
Memories that
move.
A 4–5 minute cinematic video built from the same photos as your printed book — set to music, paced like a story, ready for the screen at receptions, wakes, and reunions.
The book is for one set of hands. The video is for the room.
A photo book lives on a coffee table. A cinematic video lives on a screen at the front of the reception, a projector at the wake, a TV at the family reunion. The same photos, the same story — but in motion, with music, watched together. Some moments are too big for one shelf, and some are too big for one set of hands turning pages.
What You Get
A real video, not a slideshow.
Story-paced, story-cut.
Most photo videos in the Philippines are template-stamped — same dissolve transition every time, copyrighted music that gets muted on Facebook, no narrative thread. The Cinematic Edition is built by the same person who designed your printed book (Karen), with the same care for sequencing, pacing, and emotional arc.
Properly licensed music
Royalty-free tracks from professional libraries (Epidemic Sound, Artlist) — never copyrighted commercial songs. Your video is safe to upload to Facebook, YouTube, or Instagram without getting muted or taken down. We curate two or three options to match your tone; you choose.
An MP4 you keep forever
You receive a high-resolution 1080p MP4 file via Google Drive or WeTransfer at delivery — yours to keep. Play it from a USB at the reception, upload it as unlisted on YouTube, share it on Messenger or Viber, attach it to a family group chat. No subscription, no expiring link.
Built for the moments worth gathering around.
Memorial & Funeral Tributes
Played at the wake on the screen behind the casket. We offer 24–72 hour rush turnaround at no extra fee — we know families don’t have time to wait.
Weddings
The pre-ceremony AVP, the reception montage, the “love story” reel. Pairs with the wedding photo book for a complete keepsake.
Debuts (18th)
The childhood-to-now reel, the parents’ message intro, the friends’ tribute. Premium production for the moment that defines the night.
Anniversaries
Silver, ruby, golden — the milestone celebration deserves more than a stack of printed photos passed around.
OFW Family Tributes
For balikbayan reunions, despedida parties, or birthday surprises across continents. Send the link to family abroad before the celebration.
Family Reunions & Birthdays
The opening montage at the family reunion. The 60th birthday tribute. The grandparents’ legacy reel. Played on the projector before dinner.
How It Works
We design once,
deliver in two formats.
01
You order your printed book
The Cinematic Edition is added at booking — it’s not a separate service. Choose any package (Kwento, Alaala, or Pamana) and mention the Cinematic Edition add-on when you message us. We’ll include it in your order during the consultation.
02
We curate, then we cut
After your printed book layout is approved, we use the same final photos to build the video edition. We propose two or three music options that match your book’s tone (joyful, nostalgic, solemn, celebratory) and you choose. We then sequence, pace, and edit the video to land emotionally with that music.
03
You receive the MP4 and a preview link
We deliver a high-resolution MP4 file via Google Drive or WeTransfer, plus a private preview link you can share before downloading. One revision round is included — tell us what to adjust and we’ll re-cut. Then it’s yours, forever.
Sample Preview
See it for yourself.
Below is a sample Cinematic Edition from a recent project, shared with the family’s permission. It opens at full resolution — turn the sound on for the full effect.
A live sample will appear here once a client project is ready to share. Until then, ask Karen during your consultation and she’ll send you a private preview link.

FAQ
Questions families ask.
Is this a videography service? Will you film our wedding or event?
No. The Cinematic Edition is built entirely from photos — the same photos used in your printed Moments photo book. We don’t film events, we don’t shoot video footage, and we don’t operate cameras at your wedding, debut, or funeral. If you need an event videographer, you’ll want a different vendor. The Cinematic Edition is what we make from photos that already exist.
Is this a separate service from the printed book?
No. The Cinematic Edition is only available as an add-on to a Kwento, Alaala, or Pamana package. We don’t offer it as a standalone product because the curation and storytelling work that goes into your printed book is what makes the cinematic edition meaningful. Same photos, same narrative arc — but in motion, set to music.
How long is the finished video?
The standard Cinematic Edition is 4 to 5 minutes long — the sweet spot for emotional pacing without losing your audience. For longer formats (7–10 minutes for milestone anniversaries or extended memorial tributes), we can extend for an additional fee, discussed during consultation.
What kind of music do you use? Can I pick the song?
We use only properly licensed royalty-free music from professional libraries (Epidemic Sound, Artlist) — never copyrighted commercial tracks. This protects your video from being muted or removed if you upload it to Facebook, YouTube, or Instagram. We curate two or three music options to match the tone of your book (joyful, nostalgic, solemn, celebratory) and you choose. If you have a specific licensed track you’ve purchased, we can use that too.
What format do I receive the video in?
You receive a high-resolution MP4 file (1080p HD, suitable for big-screen playback at receptions, wakes, and family gatherings) delivered via Google Drive or WeTransfer. The file is yours to keep forever — play it from a USB at events, upload it to YouTube as unlisted, share it on Facebook, or attach it to a Messenger group. No subscription, no expiring link.
Can the video include captions, dates, or names?
Yes. We include subtle captions, dates, names, or short text overlays where they support the story (chapter breaks, dedications, dates of milestones, names of loved ones for memorial tributes). All text is woven into the cinematic style — no jarring fonts or motion-graphic clutter.
Is this good for memorial tributes? How fast can you turn one around?
Yes — memorial tributes are one of the things the Cinematic Edition is best at. For wakes and funerals, we offer rush turnaround (24–72 hours) at no additional fee, because we know families don’t have time to wait. Send us your photos as soon as you’re able; we’ll work through the night if needed.
Can I share it on TikTok or Instagram Reels?
The standard delivery is a 4–5 minute landscape (16:9) video designed for big-screen playback. If you also want a vertical (9:16) cut for TikTok, Reels, or Instagram Stories, we can prepare a shortened 60-second version for an additional ₱500. Mention it during consultation.
Can I update the video later?
Once delivered, the Cinematic Edition is locked to match the story we built together. If you want changes after delivery (new photos added, music swapped, captions revised), we charge a ₱1,000 update fee — this protects the integrity of your original video and ensures every revision is a deliberate creative decision, not a flurry of small tweaks.
Why ₱4,500 when freelance editors charge less?
Freelance editors on Facebook Marketplace and Fiverr charge ₱500–₱2,500 for similar deliverables — usually with copyrighted music (which gets muted on social media), template-driven edits, and no narrative arc. The Cinematic Edition is built by the same person who designed your printed book (Karen), uses licensed royalty-free music (so it’s safe to upload anywhere), and is paced to tell your specific story — not stamped from a template. You’re paying for taste, time, and the safety of doing it properly.
Ready to gather around
Some moments are too big for one set of hands.
If your photo book is going to a wedding, a wake, a debut, an anniversary, or a family reunion, the Cinematic Edition makes sure everyone in the room sees the same story. Add it to your package when you book — or talk to Karen first if you have questions.
