I applaud you Blake. You took a job that was not your cup of tea and gave a client what she wanted. I have had clients before that made requests that were counter to what I would choose or recommend and I told them so but at the end of the day, they are your client and if you offer your advice and they choose to ignore it then you have done what you can. After that it is our job to deliver the client's vision or at least an approximation of it. Good work tackling a complicated project and making a tidy profit.

Thanks Bryan! Mosey on down to Alabama I'll buy the first round! Heck, I'll tell you about pictures 289 thru 926 and how I inserted one of my baby pics into the montage!

Blake- I just might take you up on that beverage offer and let you regal me with your tale.

Please tell me your are joking about the insert though, and remember that these forums are massively indexed on google so anything said here will likely be read by a client at some point...

I couldn't muster up the energy to find a pic of me or anything else to throw in there.

Would be funny though!

I just finished an approximately 27 minute montage with 176 photos and I am still trying to wrap my head around the scope of your project. What was the approximate view time for each photo in the end?

She had 25 different songs and some songs had anywhere from 40-170 pictures... so anywhere from just over a second to barely over two, depending on the length of the song.

I'd say the average two or real close to two seconds each.
