Funeral Tribute Video Montage - 06/09/2026 02:42 EDT

I’m putting together a heartfelt tribute for my late grandfather that will be shown during his funeral service. I have a collection of photographs spanning his childhood through his recent years and several short clips in which family members and close friends share their personal messages and memories. What I need is a seamless, edited combination of a photo slideshow and those interview-style messages, all woven together with a gentle instrumental background track that never overpowers the spoken words. The pacing should feel calm and respectful, with subtle transitions and tasteful lower-thirds for each speaker’s name and relation to him. I will provide: • High-resolution photos in chronological folders • Raw video messages from relatives and friends (most shot in 1080p) • The instrumental music file (or, if you prefer, you can recommend royalty-free options in a similar style) Deliverables: • A final 1080p (or higher) video file suitable for projection and for sharing online with family • A second copy without embedded music in case we need to swap the track later • Source project files so we can make minor edits if future memorial events arise Please let me know your estimated turnaround time, preferred editing platform, and any technical guidance I should pass along to contributors who haven’t recorded their messages yet. I look forward to collaborating to create something worthy of my grandfather’s memory. I need by tomorrow (7th sep)
