For a 10-minute slideshow, aim for 150-200 photos. This allows each image to be displayed for 3-4 seconds, creating a good viewing pace that isn't too fast or too slow.
Group photos by age or theme – infanthood, childhood, early teens. Use gentle transitions like fades or dissolves, and consider a subtle title slide or a short, pre-recorded voice narration clip to mark each new chapter.
Absolutely, video clips add dynamic flair. For a 10-minute slideshow, keep video segments brief, ideally 5-10 seconds each, and limit them to 2-3 minutes total to ensure photos remain the primary focus.
Choose a mix of music that reflects her personality and the celebration's tone. Start with whimsical or tender songs for early years, transition to upbeat Latin pop or her favorite contemporary hits for later stages, and finish with something celebratory like 'Tiempo de Vals' by Chayanne.
