Tribute Reel Make a tribute

A film and a song, for the ones we love.

Send a few photos and tell us the things only they did. We write them a song from your own words, sing it, and cut a short film you can keep and share.

Start with your photos

For the ones we've lost, and the ones still stealing socks: a gentle tribute, or a birthday song so silly the whole family shares it. The preview is free. You only pay if you want the full film.

How it works

  1. Choose eight or more photos, and a clip or two if you have them.Tell us if it's in memory or for a pet still with you, then answer a few questions: what they're called, what they do every day, what you say to them.
  2. We write the song from your answers and sing it.Every line comes from what you told us. Nothing is stock, and nothing is guessed.
  3. About ten minutes later, watch the preview, in two versions.We record the song twice, so you can keep the one that feels right. Unlock the full film and it's in your inbox a few minutes after that.

What you get

A film of about 80 seconds, vertical and sharp on a phone, the way you'll watch it and share it. Your photos move gently; your clips are steadied. Each line of the song appears on screen as it's sung.

An original song: words, melody and voice, made for this one film. You choose the style, from acoustic folk to a soft piano ballad or a hymn, and the voice.

Their name and dates on the title and the closing card. The full lyrics, to keep.

What it costs

$11.97 for the full film

The preview costs nothing and asks nothing of you but the photos. Pay once, for the finished film in full HD with no watermark.

You watch the preview before you pay. If it isn't what you hoped, you don't buy it. All sales are final.

Share it with the people who loved them too

When the film is ready, you can send it straight from its page to family and friends, up to five people, each with a note from you. They get the film and the words of the song in their inbox, with nothing to sign up for.

For the sister who lives far away, the kids who grew up with them, the neighbour who walked them every morning.

Questions people ask

How long does it take?
The preview is usually ready about ten minutes after you send your answers. The full film follows a few minutes after you unlock it.
Which photos work best?
Originals from your phone, not screenshots. A mix of ages and moments: the puppy years, the silly hat, the last calm afternoon. Fifteen to twenty makes the best film; eight is the minimum, thirty the most.
Is the song really original?
Yes. It is written from your answers and sung for this film alone. It won't be heard anywhere else, and the words are yours to keep.
Is it only for dogs?
Any animal who was family: cats, horses, rabbits, birds. The song uses the right words for who they were.
Does it have to be a memorial?
No. Choose "Still with us" and the song is written for a pet who's very much here: warm and upbeat for a birthday or a gotcha day, or a comedy style (honky-tonk, island party, hype anthem) that roasts them with love. Those are the ones that get shared.
What happens to my photos?
They're stored privately, used only for your film, and deleted within a week of it being delivered (or after 7 days if you don't unlock it). The finished film is kept for 30 days so you can download it. Ask us to delete everything sooner and we will.
Can I share the film?
It's yours. Send it to up to five family members or friends from your film's page, with your own note, or post it anywhere: it's made in the format Instagram, TikTok and Facebook use.

Whenever you're ready.
