Either digital photos (jpgs) or hard-copy photos (that have been scanned into jpg format) are imported into After Effects. The order of the pictures can tell a story (such as a timeline of multiple generations of a family). The pictures overlap one another and the opacity of the photos are adjusted so that one fades out while the next fades in to view. Music (selected by the client or t-Squared) can be imported to enhance the flow of the pictures.
