Ok, these are some examples of the photo-quality, full-screen Internet presentations I produce at Big Picture Tours. I do the photo enhancement/corrections/manipulations, also creating custom graphics for the shows, designing special effects; the audio, splicing down an hour or more of voice audio to 5 minutes (it's a challenge :), edit the audio, take a music track, loop it, add it to the audio, edit it all together, and it's ready to go into the show; then it all gets compiled together, timing is fine tuned (a little more diifcult in Spanish versions for example), everything gets a fine tuning and polish up, and it's ready for publishing. Then we take these 5 minute tours and burn them onto CD business cards with colorful covers that are the size and shape of a regular business card, and our clients hand them out.
I also put together regular CDs for counter give-aways, special presentations, and to deliver more then one tour. When you click on a show for the first time you will be prompted to install a small, quick viewer that will allow you to see the show. You'll need to install this to see these shows, and everything is constantly monitored and virus/spyware free (unlike my teenager who is constantly boggin my PC down with junk :).
Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding these tours, I do not handle the technology end of the tours, just the graphics, audio and production (the actual tours themselves), the Client Smart technology is amazing stuff, it throws the perfect version of the show out of the 30 versions held online to your PC based on resolution and your computers speed, connection and capability, from 4:3 standard sizes to wide screen (which look really awesome).

The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm Ranked as one of the most desireable bed and breakfast destinations in Virginia, The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm is Charlottesville's ultimate romantic get-away. Only minutes from downtown Charlottesville yet nestled in the timeless foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. All new construction--every room has a modern private bath. Some rooms feature whirlpool tubs. The spacious rooms are complimented by a reading nook, a sunroom, a library, the butterfly patio, mountain decks and a lodge sized great room complete with fireplace and breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge mountains. This show really turned out awesome! It's a beautiful B&B! Owners Dick & Hayden are sooo friendly and down to earth, I would highly reccomend this Inn, it's in a wonderful location (go for the Shenandoah Suite!)... |

The friendly staff will guide you to the perfect purchase or help you custom design your own heirloom. Trust, confidentiality and integrity are the banner principles behind everything they do. Exclusive offerings from the world's leading manufacturers makes a visit to Reines an essential pleasure for your next jewelry purchase. I consider this one of my best shows so far, newer software allowed for better effects, the image work (particularly the one you see to the left there) turned out great, this show (other then the original photography) I created solo. |

PBM Nutritionals An introduction and virtual tour of PBM Nutritionals' Plant in Georgia Vermont. The plant manufacturers infant formula sold through over 20,000 US retailers and is the only ISO 9001:2000 certified Infant Formula manufacturer in the United States! We did a Spanish version of this tour also. Ok, WOW, working with different lighting conditions was interesting & challenging. Due to the nature of their product, certain areas had specific spectrum lighting, like the yellow room... I did the all the graphic work in this one, helped with audio, put most of the show together. We also have a spanish version of this show. Now THAT was difficult to sync the audio to the images. |
