See our samples page for examples of the packages below.
Photo Montage
Running time: About 2 1/2 to 3 minutes
We bring your photos to life with music and digital effects. It's kind of like having Ken Burns do a special "bidography" of your pooch! Photo Montages make moving memorials of dogs who have passed, or fun tributes for the special dog in your life. They make exceptional birthday gifts too.
You'll need to submit at least 40 photographs (the more the better, so we have a good assortment of photos to choose from). See FAQ for photo submission guidelines and tips on choosing photos and music.
Photo Montage package includes music (you may submit a purchased CD, or we will buy music on your behalf), on-screen graphics, and two DVDs with custom-designed cover.
Price: $225 (plus $1 per printed photo we scan for use in your DVD; no extra charge for digital photos)
Basic Bow-Wow Music Video
Running time: About 3 minutes
Does your dog drool with envy while watching MTV or VH1? Now your dog can strut, wag, bark and roll on his or her very own music video! And there's no bling necessary!
We'll shoot the video at the location of your choice. You can appear with your dog in part of the video if you like! The Basic Bow-Wow Music Video includes music (you may submit a purchased CD, or we will buy music on your behalf), use of natural sound, on-screen graphics, and two DVDs with custom-designed cover.
Approximate time we'll spend on the shoot with you and your dog: 1 hour
Price: $350
Top Dog
Running time: About 5 minutes
This snappy mini feature starring your favorite furry creature will put a smile on your dog's snout because it includes interviews with you and other important people in your dog's life! We'll set you up with wireless microphones for the shoot and interview you about your dog as the shoot goes along.
We'll shoot the video at locations of your choice. You can appear with your dog in some scenes, especially since you'll be talking about him/her!

A Day in the Life
Our most extensive (and, yes, most expensive) video package follows a typical day in your dog's wonderful life, from breakfast to walks at favorite parks and other activities your dog enjoys. We've shot dogs on boats, horse-drawn carriages, and at swank restaurants, so you can lead with your imagination and we'll follow with our camera!
We'll set you and your dog's other favorite people up with wireless microphones and interview you about your day as it unfolds. You'll appear on camera with your dog in many scenes, if you wish, and you may even choose to address the camera directly. (Think Anderson Cooper.)
We'll shoot the video at multiple locations of your choice. Includes interviews, music (you may submit a purchased CD or we will buy music on your behalf), use of natural sound, on-screen graphics, and two DVDs with custom-designed cover. Home video and a few photos can be added to your film at the discretion of the editor.
One popular variation of A Day in the Life is our Dog About Town package, which features your pooch at your pick of top San Francisco hot spots (Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Castro, North Beach, etc.) It's a great memory of your dog and you in one of the world's most dog-friendly cities, and the perfect addition to the video library of your dog's “grandparents” and friends back home.
Approximate time we'll spend with you and your dog: 4 hours
