Sentimental 18th Birthday Video Montage

I’ve gathered about 300–350 photos and a handful of short clips that chart my son’s life from the day he was born right up to his 18th. I want them woven into a 20–30-minute film that feels like his story: tender, nostalgic moments sitting naturally alongside the fun, energetic highlights that define him.

Please arrange everything strictly in chronological order, letting the viewer watch him grow year by year. I’ll supply a few recorded messages from family and friends; these should be added at the end in a birthday message section. A tasteful opening title, subtle lower-third captions when a message appears, and I will provide a closing video to round it off.

For pacing, think gentle fades for the early years, a little more punch as the teenage clips arrive, always synced to music that rises and falls with the emotion. I’m happy to license tracks if you advise me on length and mood.

The finished file needs to be Full HD (1920×1080), ready to play on a large TV. I’d like a rough cut first so I can flag any photo order tweaks, then a polished master with colour-balanced photos, clean audio, and smooth transitions. Whether you’re working in Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve, I will supply access to Dropbox folders where the photos and video clips are.
