The place you went every year
The same beach, the same campsite, the same argument over who got the window seat.
← All storiesSome summers have their own colour
A little salt in the air.A day without a plan.
The beach you went back to every year. The campsite with the crooked table. Revisit a holiday photograph and stay in that feeling a little longer.

A moment worth lingering in
The best part of the holiday might have been nothing at all.
Not the big excursion. Not the landmark. Just a morning outside the tent, someone reading in a deckchair, the moment everyone was finally ready to go down to the beach.
A holiday photograph already has an atmosphere. Animation and ambient sound give you another way into it: a breeze, the shore, a scene with a little room to breathe.
Choose a photo where the place and the people both feel familiar. It may be the one that makes you remember the smell of sun cream before you even know why.

A few places to begin.
An ordinary holiday morning
Breakfast outside, wet towels on a fence, everyone taking their time.
A holiday before your time
Your parents or grandparents away from home, somewhere that made them smile.
From album to movement

Writing a gentle motion prompt
Turn a vague idea into one clear direction that fits the photograph you have.
Six or ten seconds: choosing a video length
Choose how long to linger, with a clear view of how your allowance is used and the purpose of the clip.
Which photograph should you animate first?
Choose by meaning, visible detail and comfort rather than trying to find a perfect picture.
Start with what you already have
One photo.A little closer.
No editing timeline. No settings to master. Just a photograph you want to spend more time with.
Find your photograph
Choose a clear digital photo or a scan from the family album. A face, a familiar street, a day by the sea.
Set the feeling
Add a title and a little direction if you like. We create gentle animation and ambient sound together.
Make room for the moment
Watch it in your private collection. Download the video to keep it or share it yourself with someone who remembers.
Before you open the album
A few things to know.
Can the video include the sound of the sea?
Ambient sound is part of every memory. A brief suggestion such as a quiet beach or a gentle sea breeze can help guide the mood. The sound is generated for the scene, not recovered from the original holiday.
Can I upload a photo with a lot happening in it?
You can, but a simpler scene is often easier to animate. A clear subject with some surroundings can be a good place to start.
Do I have to choose an animation style?
No. There is one quality setting, with animation and ambient sound included. You can add a little direction, or leave that field empty.
One more afternoon there.
