IDEAS FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS!
A celebrity birthday avatar video that is chosen by the parents or close relative, because they know the child closely follows a particular celebrity real or fictional. The contracting party supplies the Digital Artiste with the event's agenda, the first names of the invited guests, possibly the identity of the special presents to be given, suggestions for games to be played by the birth day boy or girl and their invited guests. The Digital Artiste can produce the chosen celebrity wishing the birthday boy or girl a happy birthday, announcing the agenda for the occasion, giving shoutouts to each guest, announcing the special mystery gifts to be given, and even explaning the games to be played or even cautionary notices for the safety of all involved. Approximate cost is $30.
The focus of the event can be anyone for almost any reason: a graduation, a sporting acheivement like a team or individual championship, an anniversary, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, a business promotion, an engagement, the birth of a baby, or simply any occasion of joy to be celebrated through a very special video dedicated to the person to be celebrated or honored. The Digital Artiste can bring departed love ones back to life to celebrate with the living! He can bring your ideas into reality. How about a fashion show featuring the person of your choosing. Because of AI the Digital Artiste has a very broad and versatile digital brush through images, videos, song lyrics, song composition, scripted movies, & almost whatever the human mind can envision! I still miss my Debra who left us in November of 2022. I have tried to honor her memory through my digital creations and they serve as templates for my future clientel. Here are links to some of these creations that might just be something you may want to do for a speciaol person in your life! A very good friend of mine uses the phrase "the bottom line is" when he wants to make his point. The bottom line for me is simple: I want to use my digital artistic skills to help bring humor and joy into people's lives and get paid for my creative time similiar to how I was paid to help people learn and play the sport of tennis.

You provid the details of location, action, and the people involved, The Digital Artise creates the desired visionary experience via images, videos primarily, but also from scratch original songs lyrics and music. You can be as simple or as elaborate as you want, but it is all based on billable time. Book an appointment for 30 mintes to discuss your ideas a digital gift, surprise for someone special, or maybe just a precious memory for yourself! There is no charge for an initial appointment. The Digital Artiste only charges for a committed project with a minimum $15 fee for a fantasy image with a single proof. Minimum videos start at $30. Most projects will require at least one hour of billable time at $50 per hour. Any project that requires 30 minutes or less is billed at $30. All projects requiring greater than one hour are billed at the pro-rata rate of $50 per hour. For example: a video requiring 1 hour and 20 minutes of production time is billed as follows: 1 hour 20 minutes is 1 1/3 hours.
Billing is $50 x 1.33 = $66.50 sales tax included. Large jobs of 8 hours or more will be discount via negotiation with the client.
These are but a handful of senarios that can be created! IMAGINATION
What is required of the client (you)?
You sign an agreement that you are voluntarily giving permission to use materials, images provided. You provide what is necessary for The Digital Artiste to complete the project.
What is required of The Digital Artiste (me)?
The Digital Artiste will provide one or more proofs to the client based on each hour of billable time that is required to complete the project. Up to one hour of billable time = 1 proof. Going rate is $50/hr. Remember your end product is a unique piece of art, digital art, every completed piece, delivered and accepted. Once this business contract is concluded, all ownership & rights to the product becomes that of the client. The client can request The Digital Artiste to KEEP a backup of the complete project OR destroy all related images accociated with the product in question. However, The Digital Artiste reserves his right to use the idea or concept for future projects and clients. All personal information will be protected! Respect for my client's satisfaction is the end goal! Asolutely!
A complete music video of a client's personal experience including images, snippets of real privided videos, plus the an original song and lyrics created from the experience's narrative and provide materials. My example is my music video about what I did for five grueling weeks in the Viet Nam war during the summer of 1972.
My reason for starting my YouTube and creating material for it, was to leave a record of what I did for my country and the countries of South Korea and South Viet Nam at that time. What record of what experience would you like to get created and preserved?
The process is almost identical to contracting for a physical artist to paint a portrait of the clent. The client must agree to "sit" for the painting while he or she agrees to provide necessary images and required feedback. It is that simple!
These templates or examples are provided to simply prime the pump of your IMAGINATION to have a piece of digital art created that will bring joy & amusement into the hearts & minds of people you care about! Only requests that fall into this category will be honored by The Digital Artiste!
I made the master of this "Magic Carpet Ride" for an IU friend and his niece as a gift for her achievement in girls track. She loved it! I spliced some of her personal details out of the finished product. My charge was $50 for a $75 product. Each video of this theme takes less time the more often the same theme is followed thus this theme today would most likely come in at $50 now that I have done three or four.
Magic carpet ride around the US with surprises!
This video with music is part of my private dedication to my dear departed wife Debbie, who left us in November of 2022. We had planned to travel extensively, but her health went south in 2019, then we lost her younger sister Pam to covid in 2020. When our travel plans never came to pass, I started this project 18 months ago and we are just entering Australia through Perth with Oceania, Asia, and South Americal to go. This will have around 10 full sections and will be 5 to 6 total hours of production time. This is movie level production and upon completion it will be equal to 3 or 4 entire movies. Posted here just to demonstrate the range of production available.
Entering Australia - Magic Balloon Trip Around the World
I will use portions of our trip in the Magic Balloon & Gondola to illustrate the variety of activities that can be simulated with images, videos, music tracks, and some imagination!
