Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Canine Cinema® Film and a
Canine Cinema® Photo Album?

A Canine Cinema® Film is a live action film created by using elements of video footage, still photos, music and effects.

A Canine Cinema® Photo Album is a film created by using elements of still photos, music and effects.

Both of our films make wonderfully unique gifts for any occasion. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Just Because...

Our films make excellent Pet Memorials, as well.

What is the process of making a Canine Cinema® Film or a
Canine Cinema® Photo Album?

For your Canine Cinema® Film, we ask that you create a list of your pet's unique mannerisms or behaviors, as well as a list of your favorite shared activities. You'll need to gather 8 - 10 still photos of your pet, too. If you have digital photos on a CD, please make sure they are in either .jpg, .psd or .tiff format. Otherwise, we will scan and color correct your printed photos at no extra charge. (We edit in only as many as will serve the artistic integrity of each specific film.) We can also incorporate any existing footage that you may already have on VHS or mini-DV, for an additional charge.

We schedule a daytime appointment to come out to your home and shoot about a half hour of footage. After the raw footage has been captured, the editing process occurs at our post-production facility. When the film is complete, you will receive a DVD of the film and, if requested, a CD of the film in Quicktime format for uploading the film onto a website.

For your Canine Cinema® Photo Album, you'll need to provide us with 20-30 still photos of your pet. Once again, if you have digital photos on a CD, please make sure they are in either .jpg, .psd or .tiff format. Otherwise, we will scan and color correct your printed photos at no extra charge. (Please note that we edit in as many images as will serve the artistic integrity of each specific film.)

How much does it cost for the two different types of films?

A Canine Cinema® Photo Album costs $175.

How long are Canine Cinema films?

Can I choose my own music?

Yes, we can use a song from a CD that you already own or we can purchase a song that you'd like to use, on your behalf. In the event that you have no specific song choice, we'd be happy to choose a piece that best serves the imagery of your film.

What type of format do you shoot in?

All Canine Cinema® Films are shot digitally on a mini-DV camcorder and in Broadcast Resolution, which means the digital images will always remain crystal clear and will never degrade over time.

Can I order extra copies of the film?

Yes, you may purchase additional DVDs of your film for $12 each.
We archive our films for one year, in the event you may want to purchase additional DVDs at a later time.
