Tips for preparing an audio visual
Many funeral services include an audio visual tribute that reflects on the life of the deceased.
It is important to check the audio visual requirements and formats of your venue to ensure the tribute is prepared in the preferred format and medium.
Ensure that your Funeral Celebrant knows how long your presentation will run. Some chapels have time restrictions and it may be wise to book a double timeslot, so you and your family and friends do not feel rushed.
Some considerations:
- Choose around 25-35 photos
- Ensure they are good quality, high resolution scans
- Place them in the preferred sequence
- Choose a soundtrack for your tribute
- Note the run time of your music – the rule of thumb is 3-4 seconds per photo
- Check the required format with your venue AV specialist – formats may include MP4, WMV, MPG, AVI, MOV for example
- Always use a new USB if it is the preferred supply format
- Test your AV at the venue BEFORE the service, preferably the day before
You may also supply a tribute photo for static display inside and outside the venue.
