There are whole afternoons tucked away in the family album. Choose one photograph, and give yourself a reason to look a little closer.

A moment worth lingering in
Start with one page, not the whole box.
The album is heavy. The corners are coming loose. On the back of a print is someone’s handwriting, telling you just enough to make you want to know more.
You don’t have to sort everything today. Pick a photo that catches your eye, make a clear scan, and create one animated memory. Sometimes one image is enough to turn “I should look through those” into a lovely afternoon.
Keep the original scan too. Add a title to your video so you remember the name, the place, or the story someone told you while you were looking.
What’s in your album?01 02 03
A few places to begin.
The overlooked print
The photo that never made it to a frame but holds something you recognise.
An afternoon together
Open the box with a relative and write down the stories before you forget them.
From album to movement
All photo guides ↗A little help with your first photograph.
How to digitise an old photograph with your phone
A careful phone photograph can be a practical first step when you do not have a scanner.
Preparing a photo before you animate it
Check the file, framing and important details before using your allowance on a video.
Organising family photographs before you create videos
Build a small system that keeps pictures, names and uncertainty together without turning the project into a chore.
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.
How do I get a paper photograph onto my phone or computer?
Scan it, or photograph the print straight on in soft, even light. Avoid glare and shadows, and crop out the surrounding table before uploading a JPG, PNG or WebP.
Can I upload a whole album at once?
No. Each memory begins with one photograph. You can keep creating individual memories and collect them in your private library.
Will the animation replace my original photo?
No. It gives you a new video based on your image. Keep your original print and scan as part of your archive; the animated version is another way to enjoy the photograph.
Open to any page.
You only need one photograph to begin.
