    Sample fun high school graduation scripts

    Theme Idea

    "A 'Through the Years' theme, showcasing a mix of snapshots from their elementary school days in Omaha, middle school adventures, and all four years of high school at Lincoln North Star High. Include photos from school plays, football games, and prom."

    Song Suggestion

    "For an upbeat and nostalgic feel, use 'Good Old Days' by Macklemore ft. Kesha, paired with 'Unwritten' by Natasha Bedingfield for a hopeful look to the future. Both fit well within a 5-7 minute slideshow."

    Narration Idea

    "Record short voice-overs from parents, siblings, and close friends sharing funny memories or words of encouragement. For example, a quick 'Remember that time we aced the Chemistry final?' or 'So proud of everything you've accomplished!'"

    Absolutely! Our AI scene composition blends photos and video seamlessly from any year, creating a cohesive visual narrative of their entire high school experience.

    Can I use popular songs from their graduation year?+

    How many photos should I include?+

    Most slideshows feel right with 20 to 60 photos. The AI scene composer auto-paces each photo to the rhythm of your song, so you do not have to count seconds yourself.
