Birthday Memory Video Montage

I have a collection of short video clips that I’d like turned into a heartfelt memory video as a birthday gift. Your job is to weave these snippets into a cohesive, engaging piece that truly captures the occasion.

What I already know I want:
• Text captions to highlight key moments or names.
• A fitting background music track (royalty-free or licensed).
• Clean, tasteful transition effects.

What’s still open for discussion:
The overall structure. I’m leaning toward either chronological flow or themed sections, but I’m happy to hear your creative suggestions before we lock it down.

Deliverables
• One polished HD video (MP4 or MOV) ready to share.
• A version without music in case I need to swap the track later.
• Project file (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve—use whichever you prefer) so small tweaks can be made in the future.

If this sounds like the kind of sentimental project you enjoy, let me know what you’d need from me to get started—file transfer method, preferred deadlines, and any creative input you’d like right away.
