Nineteen minutes of someone’s life, held long enough to look at.

Still photographs, selected and ordered and graded, cut to loop with no end card. Delivered with no soundtrack, so the hymn, the piper, the eulogy and the recording of her singing all run over the top without clashing. One file plays on every screen in the building at once, all day, untouched.

No soundtrack

Nothing collides.

The montage is delivered mute. Live music, a piper, a granddaughter reading, a recording of him on the phone. All of it runs over the top. The same file plays in the chapel and the lounge and at the wake without sound bleeding between rooms, and nobody has to find the mute button on a chapel remote.

Nineteen minutes

Long enough to cover eight decades.

Ninety seconds of five second dissolves shows about eighteen photographs. Nineteen minutes at six to seven seconds a frame shows a hundred and seventy, grouped by era, and it loops with no seam. It can run through the service, through the wake, and out the door.
