Israel Trip Part II
by Michael HoffmanTuesday, March 6th, 2007
You know from my previous post that I am not the video guy. I think I could become the photographer with better equipment and a class in Photoshop. For this installment of the Israel trip I decided to try a slide show. Often, for our clients, we help them create slide shows instead of videos when it makes sense and we encourage them to do more themselves. When video is too complicated or you have great stills and a good story, a slide show can work very well. It is so easy to do one it is amazing that organizations don’t do more of them.
So I wanted to see how easy it would be to do a slide show. I again used Windows Media Maker, because I wanted to keep it simple. I used a really old and slow digital camera. I copied a few photos from Flickr and the web to supplement what I had. And I narrated the slide show directly into my laptop. (One problem with this technique is the ding you hear from me getting an email.) I created a movie file from this and uploaded it to YouTube. If the sound level seems low, it’s because my family has been asleep for 3 hours and I didn’t want to wake them up. So, without further ado, here’s Israel Part II — The Slide Show
