A picture’s worth a thousand words, so what’s the value of a video? Whether it’s the old home videos collecting dust in the back of your shelves, or simple slices of life forgotten in you phone’s memory storage: we often forget the importance of video. However, those same videos can remind us how different our voices used to sound or how much our children have grown. They can make us laugh, cry, and everything in between. They bring past moments back to life, and that’s invaluable. But technology often changes fast, and it’s easy for those old videos to never make into the digital space.
We want to change that, so we’ve started offering a service where you can upload video directly to your Shutterfly account.
