Ideas for congratulations: how you can prepare photos and videos in an original way as an addition to a gift

Good day!

Probably, one of the most valuable gifts is not some ordinary material things, but our emotions, experiences and memories (which cannot be bought, sold, etc.). Of course, you cannot give them "directly", but with the help of photos and videos, you can get very close to this! 👌

In any case, even if today your video congratulation looks clumsy and crooked - believe me, in 5-10 years, it will be a very valuable and memorable gift in a person's life ...

In this post I will give some of the simplest ways to "convert" photos and videos into original greetings (perhaps, based on this, you will have some ideas of your own). By the way, all the options below can be combined with each other.

Now closer to the subject ...

7 original ideas for congratulations

❶

Unusual art for a T-shirt, glass, etc. (for any reason)

If you have at least one interesting photo of the birthday person (for example), you can quickly and easily make an interesting one art (if you don't know what it is - look at the screenshot below). You can find out how this is done in this note: //ocomp.info/kak-sdelat-art-iz-foto.html

Art prepared on the site Photomania.net

By the way, quite good art can be in the form of a picture (if the resulting image is printed in a photo studio and placed in a beautiful frame).

How the photo has changed: it was - it is (from left to right)

In general, in my opinion, art is one of the simplest ways of an original photo-gift, besides, you only need one photo (which you must admit, it is much easier to find than a whole photo album ...).

❷

Collage of several photos (any occasion)

A collage is something like a still life, when several thematic photos are located on one canvas (for example, you can compose a photo from your trip, some kind of holiday, etc.). Having filled it all in a frame - the result looks just great!

❺

"Fantastic" video from space, desert, etc.

If you record a video in a special way, then you can change the background for it (this operation is called a chroma key). Those. by recording your congratulations on video, and then replacing part of the frame with something else, you can do amazing things!

For example, you can find yourself in the middle of an uninhabited desert, in the mountains, in space, among some monsters and monsters, which are scary to imagine ... It all depends only on your imagination. Agree, this is very unusual and impressive (just like in the movies).
