Digital Video

I've really enjoyed this project. It's been a lot of fun to look through photos to use for this video and reminisce as I went along. I chose to do a video of a friends wedding that occurred this past summer. Their first wedding anniversary is coming up and I figured it would be a nice present for them and a perfect opportunity to work on something that I cared about. I had no problem importing the pictures from iPhoto. I did however have trouble fading the music in and out. It would only let me fade over the course of 2.0 seconds, which I didn't feel was enough time on a couple of the songs. I would have liked to have had the choice to fade the music out over a course of 5.0 seconds or so instead. I had fun with the Ken Burns affects. It was a lot of work to do each one, but fun none the less.

Overall, I had a lot of fun and think I took away a valuable skill from this lesson. It will be great to collect photos over the course of the year in my future classroom and put together a little video for the kids to take home at the end of the year. What a great way to preserve memories throughout the years.
